I want to build a data link (~50kb/s) using, as much as possible, off-the-shelf X-10 components... though I can roll my own as necessary... I'm an EE.
Where do I find a specification of the technical aspects of X-10... and the parts available for the handyman ?:-)

Oops, my appologies for the first timer comment (and the tone of the message). I thought you were new at this. Your sig suggests otherwise.
Yep. I've never before used X-10, but I'm finding out fast that it looks to be pretty worthless.
Maybe I'll just use an RF link.

If you want to send high-speed data over the powerline look into Yitran's chipsets. They are doing the HomePlug Command & Control chip but they have some other chips as well.
