Re: DSC brain problem

[Matt Ion <soundy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the tip... I've actually been considering replacing my own
PC1500 home alarm (came with the place when we bought it) with a Paradox
system (my employer's regular wholesaler handles Paradox, so I can get
it at cost); I've found their programming a LOT easier and I've been
*VERY* impressed lately with their customer service), and just
transferring this PC1500 to my sister's place :)  Sounds like her
existing system is a paperweight now...
