It ought to be as simple, and more reliable, to NOT convert the signals to "telephone" just for what is essentially a digital monitor. Setup a box in the alarm circuit to ping their monitor with a "Connected and all clear" packet every fifteen seconds or so, to change to a "Fire" or "Intrusion" packet stream in the event the alarm is tripped. Seems like they didn't consider what was really going on and missed the bigger picture.

You would be hard pressed to find a alarm panel that could communicate this way- the supra is used to create a connection directly to NextAlarm and your alarm panel thinks its a phone connection with dial tone. Your faking the panel out and it is communicating the only way it knows how- via the built in modem. NextAlarm is getting ready to roll out a polling system that will poll your supra every 8 mins to make sure it has a good network connection. Very interesting.
