Re: DSC 1555 vs DSL

["R.H.Campbell" <rh.campbell@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mike, it has been my experience that DSC panels generally require the ADSL
filter (yes....the one you nor I can spell correctly) right from the "get
go". You can be lucky and find some that initially will communicate, but I
wouldn't count on it working long term once the board components start to
age (that's my assumption; something happens over time that messes up it's
ability to dial properly...). Insist on putting the filter in right up
front, even if you only charge the cost of the damn thing.

My experience with Paradox has been the complete opposite; they never seem
to need the filter to communicate properly; however, still a good idea to
install one so as not to interupt those overnight music downloads....(yaa,
bit torrent....)

You just have to explain why the thing is needed, and if you do, I have yet
to have anyone refuse to have it installed....
