That I suppose says something for the quality of service in CT

that has nothing to do with being cheap, they did the job they were supposed
to do and with or without daily tests and caller ID the outcome would have
been the same

I can imagine what it would have been like if your central station had
handled it

"Zzzzz...wha..? Honey the receiver didn't wake me up again!"

"Hey, the damn dog fell asleep on the peizo...no wonder"

"This phone number looks odd doesn't it? I'll check our records"

"HONEY WHERE'S THE ROLODEX?"

"NO ITS NOT ON THE DESK! I TOLD YOU NEVER TO MOVE IT, IT'S ALL OUR RECORDS!"

"Heck this alarm is over an hour old anyway...oh well.....Zzzzzz"
