Actually it all depends on what your are talking about.  This particular
module is just for reporting.  Not remote programming.  Now, as to an
example of a module that allows you to program like Napco has (for their
high end panels)... No you don't need a module at the other end.  Just the
latest release of the software that supports it loaded on a PC with a
broadband connection.  You do have to be able to find the module however.
That requires either a static public IP address or a dyndns service
application running on one computer on the network so you can easily
determine the public IP address at any given time.  (some routers also
support dynsdns services directly).

Easier vs more difficult...  that is relative.  Depends on the knowledge and
experience of the tech doing the job.
