   The real fun was getting the phone company to install a properly
wired RJ31X.  It was a couple years before they were available through
the alarm suppliers, so it cost the customer $150 to have Ohio Bell
install it wrong.  Then we would have to rewire it so the dialer could
seize the line.  Some ID10Ts didn't even wire the switch, they simply
daisy chained the wires so the phones would work. Another problem was
the early battery chargers were set too high and would destroy the Gel
Cell in a year.
