That could be it, then.  I see there are motion sensors on the lights
themselves that don't trigger, so I figured they're all hooked in
together.  I can get you pictures of anything tomorrow, but I'm not
exactly sure what you're asking for.  The AC to DC transformer is
hidden behind insulation and I can't get at it, but I can have picture
of the system box itself or the exterior lighting.  The lights
themselves are flush mounted and caulked, otherwise I probably would
have pulled them out already to see what could be done with them.

This I might take you up on.  I'm considering going with a telco DSL
internet solution which provides an incoming phone line at no charge,
so you'd be able to dial in.  The telco said they could have a line up
within a week.  Give me a few days to get things in order and I'll get
back to you.  I really appreciate the offer.

I see where each zone connects on the board itself.  I could tag the
wires so they go to the same zones on the new board, but I still
wouldn't know what each zone does.  Is there a way to determine what
zones monitor what sensors when the alarm is completely
nonfunctional?  I can bring up programming mode, but pretty much every
setting I tried to access I was locked out of.  I remember seeing a
test mode, perhaps I'm not locked out of that.
