There are software programs to configure and diagnose the system. Paradox
does not offer SW to interface the Esprit to a PC in the manner you
describe. You will need third party software for this. Homeseer is one of
the more popular PC-to-alarm software packages. Last I looked it was
selling for about $100.
NOTE: I'll need to confirm with Paradox what information is sent out via
the serial port connection.

Ok.

Both Paradox and Caddx are reliable brands with solid reputations. The
panels themselves are rarely the cause of false alarms.

If you are an experienced developer, it's not a daunting task. There is a
lot of work to creating something slick and commercial but you should be
able to cobble together a personal use system fairly easily.

It's a useful tool.

Not likely. You can set the security access code. A hacker would have to
make thousands of phone calls, each lasting a minute or more, before getting
in. There are far easier, faster ways to defeat a security system.

That's hard to tell. I don't know what the duties are in Greece or what
local companies would charge you.

I'll get them for you on Monday.

No problem.

kinds of information. Also, the author gives excellent tech support. It's
possible that a plug-in is needed.
