I thought for sure that someone would eventually mention this, but unless I missed it, no one did. Thought I'd rake this oldie up. However, its being old doesn't mean it ain't possible. The advantages are: no scanning for information content, no transmission of more bits than you can shake a logic probe at, and no reconstitution through matter transmutation at the other end. Just step through and hot-foot it to the next booth before those cops figure out what number you dialed!... Michael A.
