That's an interesting statement. You base your opinion of me on what,
precisely..? One Usenet post..? Interesting.

: ** Have a vile death - ASAP.

Am I supposed to respond by behaving in the same way you do..?

I note you haven't actually answered any questions posed in a reasonable
manner.

Do you guys still have analog service, or is it ISDN?

That would be analog phone but with a digital interface at the 'exchange'
(company office) for dial-up 56k use. Checking loop current with a
sensitive relay would do it.

** That is utterly INSANE CRAP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, no it's not. It's one of the reasons that (AFAIK) call centres
here in the UK are legally required to provide phones for staff that
are not (and cannot be) recorded.

Whether it's useful advice for you in your context, only you can decide,
as you haven't provided all the details. However, as this is usenet you're
likely to get different suggestions with different perspectives. One
might be useful to you.

I'm in the UK.

Can anyone help? I'm looking for a device I can attach to my ordinary
landline (Virgin Media) which closes a switch when the line is in use.

This is to activate a tape recorder when I make or receive calls.

Might want to check with these folks:

Good Luck!
