s is the server used to download handlers to the Radionics d5200 programmer=
 from the phone line. If you end up needing a handler for the programmer wh=

ce it takes literal hours to transfer then verify them, but they will all b=
e available on my server soon. The telephone number for the server is +1(30=
4)451-7092, do keep in mind I haven't been able to test this anywhere offsi=
te, so if it doesn't work, just shoot me a message here and I'll look into =
it. It wouldn't surprise me if this suffers from the terrible quality of Vo=
IP lines nowadays.=20

Kevin,

The 7212B handler is now available on the server, let me know if you have a=
ny issues transferring it.

Remember to delete the corrupted handler first using the DELETE option, eve=
n if its not listed. Go to the UPDATE option in the menu, enter "7212B   " =
as the handler name, "NO" for include help, and "13044517092" for the phone=
 number. Select "Telco -> A", connect the programmer to a phone line, and h=
it enter. The programmer should dial out to the server and pull the new han=
dler.

It will take a while to transfer, but hopefully at the end you'll have the =
handler working again.
