[hblug] dial up connection kubuntu

[Fraser Burns]

There seems to be very few techs out there who understand alarms and 
phones and broadband.

We are forever being called out when someone adds broadband and some 
computer idiot thinks he knows what to do. Some places we have even been 
called out 3 or 4 times when the computer wizkid decides to change their 
system.

In simple terms when you add broadband, then the phone wiring to include 
the alarm must be modified in one of two ways.
1. Wire in a filter to the alarm and leave all other outlets on 
broadband. Any of these can have plug in filters added to convert them 
to a phone (fax) as required.
2. Wire the house so that one (or as required) outlets are broadband and 
the rest are permanently phone type outlets.

Both of these systems do degrade the security of a monitored security 
alarm system.
Security can be improved again by adding in a connection via your 
network to the monitoring company.
