RHC: Bob, are you referring to something like the DSC T Link IP
modules. I am told that the only one that works properly is the higher
end one that sell for about $300. I bought one and am trialing it at
my son's home on his alarm system. Apparently, the cheaper DSC ones
aren't much good.

What specific model commercial device are you referring to ?
