Yah, I noticed this. I wonder why it can't automatically switch to the =
right version and connect, rather than having to go back and reset =
Compass then attempt to connect again.

One thing I want to try, and dunno if it will work is to connect to =
local panels that don't have acct number in. I always connect panels to =
phone line even if it's a local...sometimes it's a lot easier to make =
changes for the client remotely than talking a 80 year old grandma how =
to change a code.
