The CM17A Firecracker can be used with a USB-Serial adapter, provided the adapter supports the DTR and RTS serial status lines.  The inexpensive ($2-$5) adapters from Hong Kong support only the RX and TX lines - none of the status lines - so won't work.

Yesterday it worked.
Today it doesn't work.
X10 on Windows is like that.

Maybe just switching to a CM19A (USB mouse shaped) newer firecracker might be a good solution.
