Hi Jim,

Well yes it was Alarmax but maybe I should have specified that I wanted
the System Sensor 2W-B and 4W-B smokes.  Nothing from ADI or Alarmax!!

I have found the same for the DSC TL880LE and TL880LT Cellular
Communicator.  Nothing from ADI, Alarmax or Anixter!!

So what model smokes did you get from Alarmax and when??

Oh and the Bob thing was a Thumbs Up sign that took him an hour to make!
