I am trying to help a friend install an auto dialier on his home
security system and I need some information on "line capture
units".  I understand that the one you can get from the "phone"
company is called an RJ31X.  My questions are:

1)	Where is it installed? (a) In series between the point where
        the phone line enters the house and all other phones? (b) on
        the local loop but not at the house? or (c) elsewhere.

2)	What alternatives exist?

3)	How does it work?

4)	Are there any restriction on the distance between the RJ31X
        and the "Controling Device"?

An addition question related to this instalattion, is anyone aware
of the need for special permits to operate an alarm auto dialer in
Maryland  301-551-xxxx.

Please Respond via E-Mail ... If there are enough responses, I'll
post a summary.
