Well, that X255 is doing everything its supposed to.  I powered it up.
Tested all the basic functions, and created some deliberate faults.  Access,
burg, communication, supervisory stuff.  All works.  Network module, EZMs,
Panel.  This thing has been wet enough to flake out three times that I know
of, and judging by the condition of the floor and the layer of black mold on
the wall where the panel used to be its been wet plenty of times that it
didn't totally flake out too.
