Thanks for the response I got earlier this week regarding some info and
programming stuff that I was looking for, I managed to find it (thanks to
Jim Rojas). Now without saying I am lazy I wanted to pick your brains again.
I am sure you heard of EZ-Mate downloader? Well I managed to get hold of a
copy that seems to support my system (FBII XL2) and it seems pretty straight
forward to use. But it doesn't seem to work. I think the problem lies in the
modem device, I take it software is not the only piece of equipment you need
to program you system remotely? Is any modem compatible? Or does it use some
strange speed? I assume (correct me if I am wrong) that the system uses
300buad? or 1200baud? If this is so, is there any specific commands one
needs to configure their modem.
Well I suppose this message is in vain then, cause I have just read a
article stating you need some FBI part 7200 or something. Well just out of
curiosity then if I was able to get this part (or a ancient Hayes Modem)
would it work??
Any Feedback Is Appreciated

You need a Hayes 1200 modem model 70-00038 which hasn't been made since 1986
or so
If you get that you won't need the 7702 module, thats for other modems that
are listed, once you get that it will work fine assuming whoever programmed
your system hasn't downloaded it before and added their CSID number, then
your pretty much out of luck even with a working downloader
I JUST got outbid on an Optima 2400 too...bastards!
they currently have a few right now but most without power supplies it seems
(which are HARD to find) but figure in the end you'll pay up to 50 bux for
one which still is a steal since they last forever and are compatible with
Ademco, Napco, Moose and many other systems

8.5 volts, has phono plug connector instead of that wierd one the 1200 uses,
it works great on Ademco, Napco, DSC, ITI, Linear and a few others and can
fax (only at 9600 tho) if needed
In fact the only thing I use the 1200 sitting below it for is FBI and AT&T
and Moose
The EZ-mate (vers 9.8 ) software rely's on the Smartmodem (Cardinal works)
when you program the panel locally using the 7702 interface. You don't need
the 7702 remotely...just the modem as in your case. They do say that other
modems will work....yes, 300 Baud!
As a further note, some computers and in our case laptops are not
compatible. Toshiba works fine. COM port incompatability.
You might want to check out the new COMPASS software version 1.5 which has
now incorporated communication software for FBI panels. It's windows based
as compared to the EZ-mate which is DOS based. From what I hear the
software is user friendly.

I also have Hayes modems, new in the box.
As well as about 30 used ones.
Make a resonable offer.

This offer available to all mike?
Got more than one 7702?
I don't have many FBII panels out there but it would be nice to talk to
them... sourcing Hayes 1200 modems up here has been fruitless so far

Before you buy.
Try www.ebay.com
They almost always have at least a couple of Hayes 1200's for auction, they
usually go for around $40 average which is still a steal considering they
last forever and pretty much work with most panels

Saw 'em, Mark, but the dudes don't want to ship outside US
