Internet Alarm Reporting - Better Than Phone?

[ReleaseThePrisoner@xxxxxxxxx]

How do you like reporting alarms over the internet versus the
traditional phone method?

A Couple of Internet Communicator Products:
DSC TL250D: http://www.dsc.com/news.aspx?id=27
NAPCO net.link:

Does it make any difference to the user or are the benefits mostly for
central station?

Are all manufacturer's internet communicators equal?

Other thoughts?
