3/29    A friend wants a PC (no mac). She doesn't want Dell. Is there a
        good place that can custom build for you (SSD, large RAM, cheap video
        card--no game)?
        \_ As a side note: back in my Cal days more than two decades ago when
           having a 387SX made me the only person with floating-point hardware,
           most machines were custom built.

        Is this expected to work?
        \_ Soda doesn't have a real IPv6 address.  The IPv6 addresses you see
           in ifconfig are just link-local addresses; any IPv6-capable machine
           will autogenerate these, whether or not it's connected to an IPv6

Safeguard your home without installing wires and cables Automatically calls you with a recorded message if alarm is activated Arm or disarm using a keychain remote or over the phone Customizable, easy to install, program and maintain It used to be that the most effective protection of a home required insta lling a labor-intensive, hardwired security system. Those days are now h istory, thanks to Smarthome's SecureLinc II Wireless Security System, a full-featured, customizable security system that connects in a fraction of the time of hardwired systems and includes everything you'll need to get your home security started. Just plug the main unit in, mount the wireless sensors in the zone s you want to protect, and you're ready to program the system. Specifications Programming is easy, using the large, backlit buttons and the LCD screen. You have the option of testing or arming the system at a predefined tim e, and the siren can squawk when armed or disarmed if you so choose. The SecureLinc II Wireless Security System supports 29 wireless zones and o ne hardwired zone and a 100-event log. Additional features include a sil ent/audible panic alarm, two-way voice/listen in enabling options, and e ven voice response. Verify the status of lighting devices, reprogram security functions, and even control their home appliances and lighting anywhere and any time. W hether you're at work or on vacation, you can easily access the SecureLi nc II Wireless Security System via SMS, e-mail, mobile and regular phone s, or a secure web application. When it detects an alarm signal from one of the wireless sensors, the sys tem blasts an 85dB siren that not only alerts your family, but sends wou ld-be thieves fleeing. It also supports 24-hour moni toring by commercial alarm monitoring personnel, who can dispatch police , fire or medical response (depending on the type of alert it receives). For example, want to know th at your kids arrived home safely from school? The system can call you at the office to let you know that your child successfully disarmed the al arm. The SecureLinc II Wireless Security System supports up to eight individua l user codes, so each member of your household can have an independent c ode ID. It also doubles as a message center, so you can hear and leave m essages up to 20 seconds for other family members. User names for codes 5-8 can be recorded and will be played during a Latchkey report. For maximum convenience, SecureLinc can even operate 15 X10-controlled li ghts or appliances (or 15 groups of lights or appliances), including 2-w ay appliances and those with dim/bright features. In addition to schedul ing your X10 appliances to prepare your home for your arrival at night o r from a vacation, you can also use the X10 timer function to make your home look occupied when you're away. Or you can have it turn the X10-con trolled porch light on for four minutes when you arm or disarm the syste m, so that you'll never have to enter or leave your house in the dark. N ote: To access these features, you'll need the optional X10 Cable & Inte rface (#73907), sold separately. Transmi t signals to your SecureLinc II Wireless Security System using the Keyfo b Transmitter. Upon pressing any of the four recessed buttons, this keyf ob transmits a CodeSecure digital sequence along with a 4-bit function code associated with the button that was pressed. Different digital sequ ences are transmitted each time, so that malicious code grabbing is almo st impossible. The included Wireless PIR Detector is a compact, animal-i mmune detector, so pets up to 40 pounds won't set off the alarm. With a coverage area of 30 by 30 feet, this fully supervised detector will keep an eye on your home when you're not around. Upon detection of an intrud er, the on-board transmitter instantly sends an alert to the SecureLinc II Wireless Security System. resistance of wires 220) Zone Types: Interior follower, perimeter, perimeter follower, delay 1, de lay 2, 24h silent, 24h audible, fire, non-alarm, emergency, gas and floo d User Codes: 8 codes, 4 digits each Control Facilities: Integral keypad, PowerCode hand-held transmitters, wi reless commander, MCM-140+, remote telephone, local or remote computer Display: Single line, back lighted 16-character LCD and 4 LED indicators Arming Modes: AWAY, HOME, AWAY-INSTANT, HOMEINSTANT, LATCHKEY, FORCED, BY PASS Alarm Types: Silent alarm, siren alarm or sounder (internal) alarm, in ac cordance with zone attributes Siren Signals: Continuous (intrusion / 24 hours / panic); triple pulse - pause - triple pulse (fire) Siren Timeout: Programmable (4 min. by default) Internal Sounder Output: At least 85 dBA at 10 ft.
