Rocky,

Thanks for the additional input.  Yes, I was looking at the
Guard 1 system as what might work for this application.

The challenge is with this kind of stuff you won't actually know
how and if it is going to work for YOU unless you have it in
house and working with it for a while.  Then and only then
will you know if it is the right system.

The nice part about the Guard 1 system they give you a 30 day
return policy.  Which is nice but then you might have 29 days
of time invested and if you send it back you need to start all
over again.  Needless to say you have to do your homework in
advance.  Which is what I am doing.

Thanks again for the extra input.
