In TELECOM Digest, vol. 10, issue 736: David A Smallberg <das@cs.ucla.edu> writes about local high school having a computer which apparently calls students' parents every Saturday afternoon with taped information regarding the school for the following week. He writes: >Of course, the first part of the message talks through answering >machines' outgoing messages. In other words, a lot of parents aren't home when that computer call is made, and the recorded message encounters a recording at the receiving end, and the receiving end gets the incoming recording minus the beginning (and minus any overflow at the end). How common is the problem of recording-calling-a-recording, anyway?
