	I've considered installing a device on my phone that would emit
	a very loud, high frequency sound to be used when I'm pist at the
	person on the other end.
You already HAVE such a device - it's the touchpad on your push
button phone.  Having one of those go off in your ear isn't
pleasant, which is why your earphone gets muted when you touch
tone a phone number.  (But the earphone of the guy on the other
end is NOT muted.)

Of course, having a computer phone you tells you nothing about the
particular equipment attaching to the phone line.  It's not likely
to be a 212 modem, that's for sure!  I wonder what happens if you
blast 2600 hz at it?
