Hello-- For all those who inquired as to the gsm files for the sound prompts for the telemarketing Torture menus I put on the wiki, and also all those who had too much dignity to request them, I humbly submit that I have added a link to my version of the sound prompts to the wiki page, and also include it here: http://wyoming.e-tools.com/TeleTorturePrompts.tar.gz Size is just under 1 meg. Please, it's my personal site, so don't publish this anywhere but where it is...
