Not to feed into any existing paranoia, but whatever kind of system you go with, I'd recommend you get a UPS to run it! My friend's neighborhood was hit hard and systematically by theives. The police detective told him that the theives modus operandi was to shut off the electrical power and cut any/all phone and cable wires, and then enter unimpeded. All of this is usually easily accessible from the outside. What my friend did was to lock his utility panel and reroute the phone/cable wires. He put fake wires in their place such that if they're cut it triggers the alarm immediately. _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
