I picked up some old X10 hardware for dirt cheap on ebay, including some serial port wireless controllers.
Any way to use an old MS-DOS pc to interface with this system? I know x10 has been around about as long as MSDOS, so I'm optimistic...
Yes, back in the era there was some stuff for that on Simtel - http://www.lanet.lv/simtel.net/msdos/x_10.html

Fanastic, thanks. Some of those files mention the device I'm using specifically, so this should be fun.
Are those download links expected to work, or is this simply a text listing of defunct/missing files?
Well, they don't work for me, but Simtel stuff is easily found elsewhere, eg.:

Yep I just finished downloading all of that from another mirror. Thanks!
