They wouldn't be trapped, DMP/Radionics can be monitored by anyone since
they can send 4/2, ITI is a slightly different story with the really old
stuff that only sent ITI format everything later than the SX-V can be
monitored by anyone as well using 4/2, SIA or CID.

If I didn't feel comforable dealing with the panel I would replace it, or
might tell the customer finding parts may be a problem which would be more
accurate
