SBC - do I need a tech install to get a splitter?

I'm planning to order SBC/Yahoo DSL. Since I have a monitored alarm system, I figure I'll probably need a splitter. SBC wants $200 for a tech install if I have an alarm system. I'm capable of doing wiring and installing most types of equipment myself, so I'm wondering if it would be possible to get them to send me a splitter for a self-install. Do they ever do this, or will I be forced to shell out $200 to have some guy hook up a couple of wires outside? In case logic and reason don't work with the drone on the phone, does anyone have any ideas how to do the install without the big fee?
