You've been waiting on a call back for four years? Man, you're a patient
guy... :^)

You don't need to establish an account with Napco -- just one of their
distributors?

Here's a list:
http://www.napcosecurity.com/distributors_ca.html

If you don't already have access to Napco's online support, call their US
facility at 800-645-9445 and press 1 twice for tech support.

They sell through ADI-Burtek, Graybar, Swisco and Tri-Ed.

Is ADI-Burtek the same as ADI? If so then you are mistaken. Napco fired
ADI a few years ago. I mostly buy Napco from SGI, and Alarmax. With SGI
having slightly better pricing and service. I had heard that Tri-Ed was
going to pickup Napco, but had not seen anything from them about it
recently.

ADI bought out Burtek. They decided to maintain the relationship with Napco
though. I asked a Burtek salesman in the Vancouver branch and he says yes,
they still carry Napco.

These things have a way of changing over time. For example, ADI now carries
ELK Products. Years ago they refused to carry it because Wade Moose owns
Systems Depot -- an ADI competitor.

I never worked with SGI but I knew Alarmax many years ago. They were OK then.
According to Napco Tri-Ed does carry their stuff. We got bad customer service
from Tri-Ed and I finally dropped them a few years ago.

Yep, Napco told ADI to stick it. ADI wanted a percentage to shelve the
product. Some stayed and paid, some hiked it.

ADI was having trouble paying their bills too.
