Unboxed some X10 stuff that I had in storage today and came across a X10 FireCracker Computer Interface. I remembered that there was an article by Al Williams on how to interface this to a BSII, the following is a link to the original article:

Thought it would be fun to port this to SX/B. Used a SX52 Proto Board, but I believe any of the Parallax SX Proto Boards can be used with some modifications to the attached program.
Have fun, no effort was made to optimize this for SX/B just converted the original BSII program to SX/B.

Your Welcome!
Should be enough comments in the code to connect up the hardware. If not I can post a simple schematic.
Toying with the idea of controlling my pool pumps with this. I installed some TightWatt timers for the pumps that are X10 compatible.
