If not, for 7.95 at Radio Shack, or 9.95 at your local att fone center you can purchase a little device that will do it for you.. I hacked one of these together to breath more life into my old answering machine and was so proud of it I took the schematics and put 'em on the cad machine at work. Then I gave 'em to a fellow fone hacker and he told me for 1/2 the cost of the parts I could have purchased something that did the same thing..... I thought I had something there (sniffle) ;-( BTW, the next release of the comic collection (or is that commical? :-) ) of fun things to do with your cellular phone is coming out Oct 1. If you want yours included, better get it here soon.
