I know someone who has an ADT security system in their home. Apparently
cutting the phone line will cause the alarm to be activated, and the
monitoring station to be notified. Does anyone know how this is done?
Obviously it can't be done via the phone line!

(Their systems also dial in to the house once a week somehow to check the
status of the system. Any nasty error conditions will result in a service
call)
