Vonage and ADT

Paul Westbrook | 28 August, 2005 19:32

Today I tested my ADT security system because wanted to find out if it is actually working with my currently wiring setup.  I have connected the phone line from the security system to our patch panel.  This is connected to our Vonage ATA. (Similar to the article in Make magazine)

Supposedly, this is not supposed to work, like modems and fax machines are not supposed to work.  If it didn't work,  I would have thought of either

  1. Buying the cell service connector for the ADT system.
  2. Buy the ABN Broadband Adapter from NextAlarm.com, and switch to using their service.
  3. Switch to using Alarm.com for service.

Changes in iSync

Paul Westbrook | 28 August, 2005 18:41

Since upgrading to Mac OS X 10.4, I had noticed some changes to iSync.  I had noticed that the .Mac icon in iSync doesn't do anything.  Also, the iSync menu item can not initiate a sync with my phone.

Chris Holland wrote the same thing on The Apple Blog.  But he also mentioned Sync Now, "re-adds" the feature to sync your devices without launching iSync.  The program works perfectly
