You got it.  I got it working just a little while ago.  But it took a little  
figuring out.  Now it is working like a charm though.  The second problem I  
had was the fact that the sounds played MUST be sampled at 8 HZ rather than  
the standard 11 and 22 HZ.  I found that very odd, and I wish there was a  
program which would downsample sounds so I could use some of the digitized  
stuff I have.  Basically, it looks like you have to use a sound recorded by  
the NeXT internal microphone.  Am I going crazy?

Other than that, I'm falling in love with the PhoneKit and am going to start  
expanding MessageCenter immediately.
