Mark,

Just returned from mini vacation (family reunion) and got a chance to do
a little playing with 4.1.002.

Here are several things I've found.  Don't know if they are the result
of my poor understanding or are operating incorrectly, or ???

1.  Remote Phone Access....  

	When system is called and # pressed after it answers the phone, all you
get is "dead" air until you press the # key again; system then asks you
for "Password" and operates ok.  Is this correct?

2.  I had set up an event to test for "Phone-Interface-C" state of
"Busy".  If it found test to be true, it closed the intercom relay. 
Here's what the event looks like:

If	Speak-Messages	      Is Now     Busy/VC
Or	Voice-Interface-C     Is Now     Busy
Then    Intercom              Set        High

If      Speak-Messages        Is Now     Idle
Or      Voice-Interface-C     Is Not Now Busy
Then    Intercom              Set        Low


I have subsequently commented out the two lines which begin with "OR"
since any X-10 console activity triggered a momentary relay closure on
the intercom module...  The clicking was annoying late at night when we
use the X-10 consoles by our bed to shut down the house, etc..   In
other words - if ECS sensed any X-10 signal, it triggered the intercom
relay closed/open.

Is this due to my incredibly stupid logic or???


Thanks -
Bill Walters
