W-Box is ADI's contracted Chinese knock off line.  I noticed they
discontinued lots of stuff (like ATW Mascom) and came out with similar
products on the W-Box label.  If you visit the W-Box website you will find
the only place to buy the stuff is at ADI.  ATW never used to have retail
pricing on their website until ADI dumped them and started selling their own
line of Chicom knockoffs instead.

I did have a Rat Shack chime that went ding dong.  It was three wires if I
recall.  (pos) (neg) (trigger)  It was cheap.  They may not have it anymore.
I used to buy them regularly for specialty stuff.  They made nice alerts
that didn't seem to annoy the customers as much as a buzzer.  I went to the
ATW one because it looks nicer.
