Thanks a lot.  It seems you feel like most other contributors to this
group, and while I did not have to go throught the UL hassle for
govenment installations, it appears I will have to do it for commercial
applications.

Any ideas on how to start the process of getting a listing?  And as
Robert Bass indicated it appears the system has to be listed for it's
intended use.  The difficult part about the whole thing seems to be the
fact that many different components can be added as enhancements to the
system.  Do they all have to be listed; even-though, they have been
individually listed by the Underwriters Labs?  Any inputs would be
appreciated.

Thank you very much for your inputs.
