Steve Forrette, forrette@cpry.berkeley.edu, talks about a beep at
fifteen-second intervals.
 
I remember hearing this on phoned-in radio news reports years ago
(despite the California exemption for broadcasters), but the only time
I've heard a tone line that recently was a year or so ago when I was
interviewing a public relations person for Alberta Government
Telephones. Presumably he was taping the conversation (and all other
telephone interviews he did) so that he would be in a better position
to complain if he felt that he was misquoted.
