You just need to test continuity, so an AA cell, some wire and a torch bulb will do. Plus duct tape of course. If you can't find a bulb then your tongue would do. For the really adventurous you don't even need a battery---just get someone to ring you :-) BTW, I seem to recall than the ringing voltage was chosen to be sub-lethal. Unfortunately there are counterexamples. You might really want to find that light bulb. -- Michael Newbery Technical Specialist TelstraSaturn Limited Tel: +64-4-939 5102 Mobile: +64-29-939 5102 Fax: +64-4-922 8401 - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
