I've been wondering about that too, it's 110 baud using standard CCITT tone=
 pairs. 2 digit account number, and a number of status channels similar to =
what Scancom and Ademco High Speed send. No handshake sent from the receive=
r, which is interesting. If you find any panels that use it, I'd be interes=
ted to know as well.
