POTS is no where near the most reliable method of communication
regardless of the backup used.  It is impossible to provide line
security with POTS as required by DCID 6/9, UL2050, the NISPOM, etc.
The most reliable means of alarm transmission are encrypted direct
connections, two-way long range radio, and NIST approved IP
communicators such as DMP's ICOM-E and Alarmnet's 7845i.
