I decided to replace they 3-way switches I have with these nice sexy master/slave models. I disconnected the old ones and now am not sure how to re-connect the new ones :censored:. I checked and it looks like the white wire that is connected to the one switch is the hot (not marked BTW).
Attaching pictures of the 2 switch boxes. I also found this on the web, is this what I actually have here ? http://www.homeimprovementweb.com/information/images/wiring2l.gif

Yes the wiring is correct to make it work but the color convention is incorrect. You are switching a white wire. It would have been better or to convention to use the black in the 3 conductor cable for the switched hot and mark the white as a traveler.
