HA!

Sadly.. no.. Because I dealt with monitronics before this and they
didn't allow it either.  And my suspicions were confired.  For what
would cost me personally about 120 dollars in parts to do they want to
charge me 420 dollars to do.

So... if I need a monitored alarm system (for insurance reasons) I
guess it is what it is and I have to just bite it...

Thanks guys.
