Interesting & cheap, too. Haven't tried this in a while, any ideas why pulse-dialing isn't disabled from touch tone payphones (at least that one) ? p.s. the phone company is your friend, don't do the preceding illegal thing if you can avoid it. -- ============================================================================== Chris M Johnson === mesmo@portia.stanford.edu === "Grad school sucks rocks" "Imitation is the sincerest form of plagiarism" -- ALF ==============================================================================
