I have Vista 20P with V 7.0 installed right now with First alert Front panel of 168C I am thinking of installing EVL3 for internet control, I do not have a modem close to it so I am thinking to use internet bridge port for access, now if I buy EVL 3 will it work with my version?

Also what steps do I need to follow in order to install and what do I need from my service provider like master code or something?

I have already bought the equipment from them and its mine, its not rented and I am out of contract.

I failed to connect EVL-3 to a wireless bridge. Did not do a lot of research to resolve the problem because it was not very hard for me to run a CAT5 wire through attic.

is your panel on the different floor and your router on another floor?

The panel is on first floor and router is on second floor. Fortunately, there is a empty space between the attic and first floor so that I could drop the wire from the attic to the panel.
I tried wireless bridge. Even I could verify the bridge was working by connecting a laptop at the end, the EVL-3 could not work with the bridge.

Thanks for the info; now what is the Version of your Vista 20P Chip?

My Vista 20P panel has the latest firmware, version 9.12.

So if I want to use EVL-3 I am hearing that I need to have Vista 20P with Version 9.XX not sure if that is correct?

Not exactly. I am sure Vista 20P with earlier versions of firmware can also work with EVL-3. However, there might be a problem to connect EVL-3 to a wireless bridge even with the latest version firmware.
