Looks like in order to do the logging, I'd want the DK-26SSXB.  Is that
right?  Now this is getting pricey enough that maybe the suggestion of
going with an Elk isn't so far off.  Any reasons to go with one or the
other aside from price? Obviously the Elk looks like it would give me
greater future expansion, but just based on what I want currently, is there
something I'd be leaving out if I went with the DK-26?

I'd love to just be able to network whatever I install and talk to it like
any of my other devices.  I'd rather enter/delete access codes from a
computer than the keypad, but that's not all that important.  However, I
would very much like to collect the data from it rather than just print it.
(The printer interface on it is serial, so I shouldn't have any trouble
setting something up to just capture it.)

I just looked at their site.  it doesn't look like they have any two part
exterior keypads.  am I missing something.

Thanks for all the help.
