Anybody use ActiveHome? Or IBM Home Director/CM10A?

Hoping someone out there has a copy of the latest version ActiveHome they might be willing to share. The download links at the X10 site are broken and it doesn't seem to be available anywhere else...

Reason being, I bought a cheap IBM Home Director serial interface on eBay (like an idiot I didn't verify the version) and it turns out to be a much older model (Model #75H8381, supposedly akin to the CM10A). The software it came with is very old, and only seems to want to work correctly on my wife's laptop (running Windows XP Home). When I run it on the HTPC (running XP Pro) I can not communication with the device.

Anyway, long story short I was hoping the command line program included with Active Home might solve my problem. The X-10 Plugin for Xap claims to work with a CM10A but it only searches for the CM11/12.

Well, to answer my own question, you can download Active Home here. Didn't help in my case, but maybe someone else can use it...
