You're going to force me to buy one of these suckers and connect it to my
system, aren't you??  :-))

I don't believe the hardware/current firmware will support sending UDP
packets that you'll be able to receive.  The unit is designed to communicate
with listed Central Station hardware though.  Some CS's support internet
monitoring as an alternative to dedicated line or long range radio.  AFAIK
you can't use the ethernet port for programming the M1.  You can access a
"virtual keypad" and accomplish many of the tasks that a normal user would
have control over through the regular hard-wired keypad.  Any of the DO
components you can access with the hard-wired keypad, you'll be able to
access with the M1XEP.  Hope this helps.
