Guess I am going to have to go buy a copy (shudder) of UL864 and see what it
says.  Anyway, the NL-MOD can send full data and provide for full user
access or full dealer access to some of the higher end Napco panels.  I
don't recall reading much about using it with other panels, although if I
recall it is cross compatible with some of the Ademco panels for reporting
purposes.

Its great on some of my access control sites because I can plug in my laptop
anywhere in the buildings and talk directly to the panel(s).
