With 150 ZONES you've pretty well limited yourself to "the big guys".
If EVAC and fire phones are involved, you won't have a whole lot of
options.  Notifier, Chubb Edwards, Simplex, Siemens, Gamewell.  Mircom
may figure in there as well.  Their FX-2000 is also priced well, but I
understand that they've had some problems in the US market.  Why so many
zones, mind my asking?
