Based on my computer security experience, it depends on how the tips are
handled when received. When we first announced a way of reporting abuse
of the computer network, some people were surprised that we would not
crucify other people at their request, without checking whether they
were really guilty. Harassment-by-tattletale is common and is often
very easy to see through.

Unfortunately, sometimes the tips are not well handled by
investigators, indeed, there may be legal pressure to be aggressive
about it (see our recent discussion on public safety issues and
community sensitivity).

Hello -
I own an AT&T E5862BC cordless telephone answering machine... a base
station and two handsets.
On the recording side of the machine are messages from a passed parent.
It's the only record of my mother's voice in existence. I would very
much like to get it off the machine before something bad happens and it
disappears.
AT&T Telephone has been useless.
There is no jack on the base station. Putting a tape recorder up to the
microphone produces garbage quality audio. The handsets, however, are a
different story. The audio sounds better.
I've tried a Radio Shack pickup coil. No success, not a peep.
There is a headset jack. Picked up a 2.5mm plug, got out the scope, and
turned on the handset, fully expecting to see something looking like
dialtone.
Nothing.
Got out the voltmeter and checked the leads. Oh, there's voltage on
both the microphone and speaker lines. Maybe it needs a real load.
I must be slow or something.. because this information should be out
there somewhere.. but I'm probably typing the wrong keywords into Google.
Does anyone know the resistances of a headset?
Your time is appreciated.
