ade the "Radionics handler update system" that was shut down a few years ag=
o. This is the server used to download handlers to the Radionics d5200 prog=
rammer from the phone line. If you end up needing a handler for the program=
mer when working on a super old panel, this might just be what you're looki=
ng for.=20

help files, choose "NO", the help files were never implemented to my knowle=
dge and haven't been included with any handler I have ever used.=20

w, since it takes literal hours to transfer then verify them, but they will=
 all be available on my server soon. The telephone number for the server is=
 +1(304)451-7092, do keep in mind I haven't been able to test this anywhere=
 offsite, 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 VoIP lines nowadays.=20

into how they stored the data and see if I could directly convert it to the=
 format I have handlers saved to my server with. It looks like they have mo=
st of the standard handlers already archived to files there.=20

Awesome! Glad that my server works and that I could help you out.
