There is/was Windows Programming Software for all the early
S-Comm Controllers. Yes it used DTMF Control over the and/or
over a phone line. Once you wrote the simple text scripts
to program the controller the upload was fairly painless.
The is an after-market Vyex Digital Audio Board Board upgrade
for the 7K, which makes it the Controller and incredible
machine. The DAB plays MP3 files stored on a removable MMC
(memory module), the supplied firmware upgrade provides some
really neat command set and function expansion... and best
of all a much appreciated Serial RS-232 Port.
I now do all my 7K programming through the DAB Serial Port,
save/load the entire controller image or changes I need done
and do a transfer to the same or what-ever 7K Controller I
need to program.

Same here, I have one of the earliest 5K's through the last
of the 7K's and narry a one has ever failed.

Innovative people can park a Cat Auto RLS-1000B Link Port
Switch Behind their 7K and be pretty much up with the rest
of the world controller wise... less and considerations for
a TCP/IP type port.
