Ok, so I went and DL'd the install manual for the NL-MOD.  It says it can do
this and that but when I look at the wiring diagram on page #11 it says that
Terminal #3 "DATA(not currently used)".  And then on page #10 it shows a
hook up to both a Fire Panel and a Generic Panel and Terminal #3 is not
connected but it appears that a INput terminal is used to get a Fire or a
Supervisory signal but does not appear to have the ability to send zone or
detail data for alarms.

If what I am seeing or reading is correct then this NL-MOD has some serious
short falls that I can't say I would be interested in working with.  I have
used the Uplink AnyNet as a backup and it has the same sort of generic
inputs to give basic alarm signals.  How does the NL-MOD make a panel UL864
compliant???

Or am I just missing something???

TIA
