My answering box give a terse, "After the message, leave your beep" (dyslexic answering machine)
Its just short enough to trigger the dinger for the telemarketing-trash so they waste their time going, Hello? Hello? Some dont even wait, they just jump into their speil, the object is to waste as much of their time as possible. Ive yet to find a way to electrocute them from remote, but I'd like that feature...

Had a fight with Ameritech in the late 90's.  I heard conversations on
my fax-line that did not belong to me (didn't have they psychiatrist
check, but I was pretty sure).  They claimed it was another unit in the
house, I told them the only other people living there were the
landlords, and they're out of town.  Cordless?  Nope.  This went on for
two weeks until I went to RadioShack, bought a phone-adapter and started
recording the conversations.  A teenage girl discussing where to get
what drugs with her boyfriend, a middle-aged woman talking to someone
about how to scam the wellfare office, and finally -- that same woman
SCAMMING the welfare office and giving her SSN, name and address over
the phone.  Took 2 hours between finding that tidbit and Ameritech
telling me they found a "crossed line" two blocks down.  Since then, I
will not reveal personal information over the phone (and my answering
machine messages never give the name or number they called -- if the
caller doesn't know who they want, they shouldn't be calling)
