SOME people also puzzle over the fact that you can't boil eggs on an electric guitar. Of course you can.

I think I'm calling up the same image that you did, though technically, at that point, it became a naptha guitar. At any rate, the guy was certainly versatile, wasnt he? -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Hmmm, it seems to me that a Mr. James Hendrix once showed how a chicken could be cooked on an electric guitar during a public concert.

Also, wouldn't one assume that a module designed to generate an 89V ring tone could also accept it without being destroyed? While it sounds like something that may be plausible, it's just not true. It's hard to protect against voltage you should be able to generate because the protection circuitry would kick in when YOU generated it too. Speaking as an EE (but nondegreed, I've just been doing it for 10 years) you *can* design in tricks to work around these issues but they just jack up the cost on the device and this is already a cost-sensitive market. I don't blame Digium for not including it at all. Basically it's like saying your portable gas generator should be able to take having 120V applied to it since it can generate 120V. It just doesn't work that way, I'm afraid. -A. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
