Scott,
I can say from bitter experience that you had better be in a very
controlled environment if you are filtering alarms. Or else you should
consider a 900 number to handle support.
There are *plenty* of programs out there with, ah, funky code in their
alarm handling code. The OS, itself (depending upon version and device),
is not without wrinkles in this area, too.
Consider that VII's use alarming for radio battery charging purposes.
And consider silent alarms from programs that do their updating in the
middle of the night.
Good luck.
