Try http://www.google.com/search?q=x10+220v&sourceid=mozilla-search, there are
some meaningful links on the first two pages. Oddly enough, the first is in the
.nz (New Zealand) domain, and far as I know, they're 110V. No matter -- some of
the European sites might give you 220V X10 modules.

Interesting applications. What I'd like to do is check if I've got the VCR
programmed to record Star Trek Voyager.
