Also, I recommend the TeleZapper that we have attached to our primary [and
business] line -- although we were prepared to disconnect it if clients
complained about the [brief] tone, very few have asked us about it; most

of

those who did asked if we were taping the calls [no], and all were
supportive of our effort to free ourselves of telemarketers.



Telezapper doesn't work as well as it used to. The telezapper simulates the
tone that the phone company produces on phone numbers that are out of
service. It worked fine for while, atleast until telemarketing companies
modified their predictive dialers to recognize the difference between a line
that is truely out of service, and one that is connected to a telezapper.

Not like any of this makes a difference if millions of our knuckleheaded
countrymen continue to respond to surveys or buy good from those that call
our house. I suspect the value of a DNCL is minimal. It is extremely easy to
relocate a call center offshore and continue to do business as usual.
