[Freeswitch-users] Alarm Receiver for FreeSWITCH?

Alarmreceiver is an Asterisk application for the security industry. From
the description of the module, "This application emulates an SIA
(Ademco) Contact ID alarm receiver. The Contact ID protocol is the most
popular signalling protocol used between alarm panels and central stations."
In a nutshell, an alarm panel calls an phone number connected to the
switch. The switch answers and waits for a series of DTMF tones. The
switch and panel communicate by exchanging tones. The panel closes the
connection and the switch takes action. From what I've been able to
understand, the switch records the event in a file.
From my perusal of the FS documentation I believe this same
functionality can be performed by a FS module but since I haven't
actually written modules I'm obviously not aware of the limitations. So
my question is, "is this something that can actually be done?"
Thanks,
Jim.
