  As an aside of sorts.  If you are recording the conversation because you
think you are being given the run-around by some shady outfit, that 15
second beep is very effective in putting the Fear-Of-Whatever into them.
  You may not get evidence of the malfeasance that you were suspecting
them of, but it's more likely that they will do what they tell you they'll
do this time.  The shady types seem less inclined to doubletalk when they
know it's being recorded.  (They probably think the recorder is an agent
of the Better Business Bureau, or the local Bunko Squad.)
