Hi Jed,

>>Remember back in the sixties when it was a felony to open your 
>>telephone and modify it?

> That is preposterous. The 1933 FCC rules forbade attachment to the 
telephone network of any device "not furnished by the telephone 
company." They said nothing about opening up telephones. Millions of 
people opened up telephones in the 1960s, including me.

I'm not questioning whether you or anybody else opened your telephones.  The
Bell telephones we had when I was a kid had a label on the bottom that said
it was a felony to open a telephone.  Maybe someone on this list still has a
1960s Bell telephone with its label still attached?
