yes, they're called divertors and they give you a dialtone from which you can then dial out from. how can you find one? Good question...the best thing to do is get yourself a copy of toneloc and start scanning exchanges for dialtones. if you find one, they often require you to dial 9, or 99 to get a live dialtone. Is this legal? another good question... it would depend on who owns the line and if they mind you using it, I suppose. :-) -Jay ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PGP Public Key Available via finger.

I asked this a while ago, but my mail system has some problems and I don't know what the responses were, if any....
Is there any way to make a phone call anonymously? Caller ID can be blocked somewhat with one of those *## numbers dialed before the call is made. Is there a way to route a call through a series of phone-type remailer systems? This would allow one to make a call that would be as hard to trace as anonymous mail.
Any ideas?
