David,

Man, you are correct!  I can't believe I read through that, including that
WindowHinge description, without realizing what it was actually stating!!

So, the only device out there that monitors outgoing DTMF is the Yes
Identifier?  Didn't Joe Rut (or someone)post a note to this list a while
back about a homemade device that monitors outgoing DTMF?  Maybe the Weeder
tech guy will consider making more of his devices if he would get enough
orders.

The Yes Identifier is $229 for a two line job, but the minimum order
(according to their website) is $359.  Although someone posted to this list
awhile back that they were having a problem meeting demand, I may consider
ordering one anyway, if someone would be willing to order with me.  I really
could use one of these but only have use for a two line model (four line
model, coincidentally, costs the same as the minimum order amount -- that's
$130 that I'd be essentially "throwing away").

I guess I should've realized $35 for that thing was too good to be true!!!

Steve
