I want it working only locally for now, which they won't do.  They
will re-enable it if I sign a monitoring contract with them.  I'd
considered telling them "Sure, set it up", keeping it for a month,
disconnecting the phone line, and then canceling.  Not with a
contract, though.  And with my luck they'd send someone out insisting
to be let in to shut it down.  Then they started acting like jerks and
I wouldn't give them a dime.  That's too bad for them.  If they had
cooperated now, we may have considered using them for monitoring down
the road at some point.  I have now received no less than 3 mailers
from them telling me to I should sign a monitoring contract with
them.  I've only had the house for a week.

The phone company was out today, so I now have an incoming line.  I'm
on my way to swapping out the board.
