When a friend of mine applied for a job with Northrup he
asked me to be a reference.  I never heard from anyone
at Northrup, but on a couple of occasions there were
audible 'beeps' on my phone line.  A similar thing happened
when another friend got a job at Mitre (inventors of the AWACS).
I don't have call waiting or any other special phone features.

My understanding of the law is that a phone conversation
can be recorded if the recorder asks for permissions, or
if audible 'beeps' are made a few times.  Does anyone know
for certain what the law says?
