Crash -

Yes, all what you say makes sense. I wish there was a way to stop it
calling, but realistically once its set up ok it should only call me
when there is a real alarm. Then I can choose what to do then and
there (police, neighbor, etc).

I did manage to connect using an external phone line, and I can arm
the alarm and read its status quite easily using touch-tones. Even
works on OOMA.

Just wish I could get it to call me just the once!

Cheers!
