I have both Tom Mabe's CD's. You should NOT listen on a full stomach,
you'll laugh so hard you'll throw up ;-)

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

You know, whenever I try that, they always hang up before it gets
nearly that far. Has Tom Mabe ever done the foreign servant answering?
That's one of my favorite ones, and with caller ID, you can almost
always tell when you can do it before you even answer. :-)))))))

I can't pull that sort of thing off, I'd get the giggles myself ;-)

On a similar note: Anyone familiar enough with modern telephone
circuitry to devise (or suggest) the following... re-wire phone so
that ringer is disconnected ONLY for the first ring?

Note that I said "ringer", I want the phone electronics, in particular
the CID sensing, to see the ring voltage, so that CID is displayed
BEFORE an audible "ring".

Anyone feel like knocking together a schematic for a caller ID unit that
switches the call to a different answering machine if no CID is detected -
preferably the OGM on the 2nd answering machine will be suitably offensive?

Must work on UK phones.

Do you need two answering machines ?

Years ago when I purchased my first 9600 baud modem, the modem also had
voice/CID capability.

The software that came with the modem had an answering feature based on
the incoming CID.

A different message could be played with each CID.

If the CID was welcome, the phone connected to the pass thru port would
ring.

Google for awhile, I am sure its still out there.

Why bother when you can get BT to answer with a message saying "This number does not accept
calls from unidentified callers, please redial enabling your caller identification", if no
CID is present.

Knew it was a dumb question just as soon as I posted...

The telephone right here in front of me has a switch to turn off the
ringer :-)

So only a ring detect and relay AT the phone.

At telephone service entry, detect "800", etc, during this interval,
block further ringing voltage.

Maybe NOT so simple. Open relay on first-ring-only, ignore further
ringing voltage... HOW?

Connect the ringers to a spare wire, and let your interface turn on
all the ringers by connecting them to the proper side of the phone line.
