Re: LOCKED PANEL

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My custom houses all have my phone number displayed as idle-text in the
keypad, but I don't use those systems in the small-mid range  houses. These
particular homes were in that range and all had Vista systems...so no idle
text display.

| once worked for M&M.  I decided not to give the jerk any business.
