Anyone working on the Smarthome Powerlinc USB controller?

I just recently purchased the Smarthome Powerlinc USB
controller and 2
Switchlinc switches. I got everything installed properly and
running on my
WindowsXP system. I was planning on using my Linux system instead and was
looking at MisterHouse as I think it has a lot of great features. I
noticed that this USB interface isn't officially supported and
saw numerous
posts in the mailing list archives that indicated people were going to try
it out. Was wondering if anyone got it working and how? I have tried the
WISH X10 drivers and I have successfully used those to send
commands to the
USB Controller.
Thanks,

I don't think anyone is running the Powerlinc USB with mh, but as you
mentioned, there has been some interest in it.

If the WISH drivers are working well, maybe we can talk you or someone else
into writing a (probably pretty simple) xAP (or xPL) interface to it. Then
we could update mh to read/write X10 via that interface, and other programs
that use xAP/xPL could benefit also.

I can send an example of a perl driver for xAP. I think there other
examples in C (is that what the Wish driver is in?) on the xAP site.
