Cpunks: While shopping for a new phone recently, I came across two models (Toshiba and Uniden I believe) that have buttons to "privatize" you conversations. These were on no-cord models. Does anyone have any idea on what these actually do? Can the phones change the frequency the call is on randomly so people can't tune into it? I know cellulars offer something similar. Personally, I would never put much faith into something of this sort. -B ======================================== Brendon Macaraeg http://www.itp.tsoa.nyu.edu/~brendonm Finger macaragb@acf2.nyu.edu for PGP Public Key
