[comp.dcom.modems] charging more to use a modem

I can see it now:  "...from the people that brought you the VCR
macrovision stripper, we bring you the modem human vocal tract
format faker."

So how is ye olde Ma Bell supposed to figure out I'm using a modem
instead of talking?... Do an FFT on my line and compare it to some
typical print of the human vocal tract's spectra?....   Hmmm seems
like an opportuninty to insert a filter between my Trailblazer and
the phone line.  Even knocking out quite a lot of bandwidth do appear
human, the trailblazer should be able to send 600 to 600 char/sec.
The PEP mode g protocol spoofing might even look a lile like
syllables of speech .. assuming I talk like the guy in the Federal
Express commercials.

Sounds like a fun opportunity to engineer some stealth modems.
