[Coco] further adventures with plug'n'power/x10

[Little John]

Stephen,
 Speaking of barking dogs, Heartland America used to sell a device that was 
triggered by a dogs bark and upon being triggered would emit an ultrasonic 
sound that was supposedly painful to the dogs ears - the theory was that Dog 
Barks, Dog head hurt, eventually dog no bark. Does anyone know if these 
devices actually work? I often considered buying one because of my neighbors 
dogs, but have since moved :)
