Hmmm... not really sure how I can cause damage to anyone else on the
other end other than my own system. After all, I have a unique account
ID and I also have my own unique remote security key so there
shouldn't be any way for me to adversely affect anyone elses
system. Also, to date the only false alarms I have generated (and
there have been many of them :) are due to either my wife or me
accidentally opening a door or window not remembering that they were
alarmed.

OK - although I actually now know the Remote Link/ICOM system better
than most if not all of the techs at my alarm company (and they are
the premier company in my metro area). I have actually shown them how
to do some things that they did not know how to do. I also uncovered
a couple of security flaws in the system which I pointed out to them.
