dave, here's one of my "favorite and/or most educational Frank Coluccio posts from the past:"
Message 10496572

...I still use a Morse clacker to signal my kids home from the pool down at the boat yard in the Hamptons. I have a ground-return alarm circuit tied into a family owned business out on the Island that is so provisioned, in case the class 5 switch in the Riverhead Office goes down.

The alarm circuit is good for d.c. sinaling, and it terminates in an ascii decode device. From the registers in the decode device my messages are translated from morse into text, which in turn is read by a voice synthesizer and sent over a loudspeaker. Only problem is I can't give the two finger whistle over it. Other than that, it does the trick, and only costs me $19 per month to lease from BEL. I use if for other things, but that's for another post.

When I'm done using it sometime in the future (when I get my VoIP rig in place, when I figure out how to support IP over the LILCO power line distribution to the yard) I'll be sure to notify the journo Quinn.
