yes, they're called divertors and they give you a dialtone from which you
can then dial out from. how can you find one? Good question...the best
thing to do is get yourself a copy of toneloc and start scanning
exchanges for dialtones. if you find one, they often require you to dial
9, or 99 to get a live dialtone. Is this legal? another good
question... it would depend on who owns the line and if they mind you
using it, I suppose. :-)
