That may be illegal. I don't know one way or the other, but there are rules against abuse of 911, and deliberately attaching a terminal without voice capability might qualify as abuse. I'm not even sure auto-dialers with recorded messages are legal. Might be fine, too. I dunno. I'd check, if I were you. -- Ben _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
