It depends on the panel type.
If it uses the ContactID protocol and has a rock solid internet connection and uses then it can work well. ContactID only sends a series of DTMF tones.
There are other alarm protocols out there however - many are essentially modems that establish a dialup connection and these will not work.
Your best option is to move to a ethernet based monitoring solution, AlarmNZ sell an ethernet adapter that plugs into the phone connection on a ContactID panel and converts this to ethernet so it can just be plugged directly into the router. They also support IP based monitoring which most other alarm companies don't do.
