I have to deliver this thing to a customer and we want strictly
off-the-shelf parts for this system. To put a xfmr and phone jacks in a
box and make it all look presentable to the customer would cost far more
(in _labor_, not parts) than the $55 I paid for the thing.

Also, I have to be able to take the thing off hook via command from the
computer, and the $0.89 solution wouldn't do that. Voice Mail for the PC
is _perfect_ for my application....
