Because the alarm is designed to capture the line before anything in the house can. The old technique was to kick the door and run to get a phone off the hook before the alarm dialed out. Now, with DTMF, you'd dial a digit or two. So the alarm dialer busts apart the line and seizes the CO side. -- A host is a host from coast to [EMAIL PROTECTED] & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433 _________________________________________________________________ KX-T Mailing list --- http://kxthelp.com/ Subscription changes: http://kxthelp.com/mailman/listinfo/kxt
