   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!

I don't believe this is correct.  There is some sort of telephone line
override device that precludes taking the phone off the hook, thereby
preventing dialing, once the alarm has been activated.  But I think if
someone cuts the lines and then breaks in, the alarm company will not
be notified unless they get lucky and are doing a regular status check
by dialing up the alarm system.  Even then, they may consider it a
telephone problem.
