If you are going to wire _anything_ to the phone system, even through the
mouthpiece, use an isolation transformer!   

Take it from a guy who have done this a couple of times...

And if you don't mind doing some additional wiring, get a FCC approved
interface unit, like Xercom's XE0002.

(Or was that Xecom?  There in the 408 area code, anyways...)
