Re: Paying customer wakes up to CF alarm every morning

[<m_husban@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been told by my Central Station that SIA is the only format that will
work VOIP. They have tested 4/2 and CID and thay will not work 100% of the
time. It has something to do with the compression uesd with some VOIP
providers. Also if it is a local CENTRAL STATION you must dial a area code
also.
