I saw an interesting method of getting back at phone harrassers - It
involves a car battery, a large capacitor, and some wiring thru your phone.
I'm not gonna go into it, but if you go through a certain sequence, you can
send a surge through Ma Bell's wires, straight into the offender's
handset..........
