 SB> So my suggestion made use of another feature of nearly all

 SB> voice/fax/data modems - MIC and speaker sockets. The MIC socket is used

"speakerphone mode".

 SB> The speaker socket is used as one way of playing back recorded

 SB> and ringing through the external speaker.



 SB> By going ATL1M1H1, it enables the speaker, and goes on-line, so the

 SB> conversation is now comming out the speaker socket. Plug that into the

 SB> MIC or line input of a SB16, and presto, record 16 bit quality wave

 SB> files of the conversation...Simple huh?

Not so simple.

First of all, the signal level coming out of the speaker socket is probably

much too high for a line or mic input.

You will have to use a setup with resistors and/or potentiometers to reduce

the signal level to something the input can use, or else it will be

extremely distorted.

By the way, what software are you using and how are you converting .RIF files

to .WAV?





... It works better if you plug it in - unless it's the cat.
