Speaking of X10, what value capacitor is typically used to couple the two sides of a 220V line together? My house is quite resistant to X10 signals except on the same outlet, which makes it not very useful as a remote control. I figure I can put the capacitor inside my 220V clothes dryer so it's relatively safe and not in the breaker panel.
