Odd since just a few messages ago you praised them

"It's hard to beat what they offer in a basic system, using Ademco
products.  They include a smoke detector, 3 door/window sensors, cell
backup, control panel, wireless touchpad which makes the entire system
wireless, and a pet friendly motion detector, for $299.99, with
monitoring for $31.95 if you are an exisitng Bell South Customer of any
kind."
