Yeh ..... I did try them also. It seemed like it promised to be good.
But as you say, they just weren't up to speed back then. I had to drop
them because they just didn't get back to me. But I see that they're
still around, so they must be doing something right. Could be that it
might be some advantage in using them. Anyone who's using Alarm right
now, for the long term, is in for quite a price increase when there's
no longer any support for the present version. There just might be
some advantage to using Dilloware for someone just starting out. Z
micro seems to be catering to the larger companys now-a-days.
