basic stamps -- phone dialer

Hi all-
I have been using a bs2 for two months now.
Can't tell you how much I like the stamps (their awsome)
My system uses one stamp and 3 plc's
the stamp gets analog signals from six temperature sensors
and then it sends the temperatures to one of the plc's
and if the temperature goes out of range the stamp
calls my pager and tells me the temperature.
the plc's control everything. I would like to of used
stamps for the whole project but, with plc's you can
change the program ONLINE while they are running.
something a stamp lacks. I think I understand why stamps can't
do that. Stamps have the debug screen.
Anyways one of the plc's is my alarm system which is
hooked up to a radio shack alarm phone dialer(I've had it for 2 years
now)
It has two sets of contacts which leave different messages.
It has my pager number programed in for the number to call
instead of recording a voice message in I entered 111111111111111 for
switch #1
and 01010101010101010 for switch #2. That way I can know two
different states of my alarm system.
If you want to take a look at my stamp code for the dialing part. tell
me

That depends on what you mean "change the program online".
If you mean remote program it, stick around, a little birdie
told me there me be something in the works. Looks pretty
neat from what little I've seen of it. More to follow, I'm sure.
