In Oklahoma, for example, calls need no beep tone under any circumstances so long as as least one party to the conversation is aware of its being taped or monitored. Also, these rules are merely state laws, tariffs, or regulations; they vary from state to state. In addition, if your call is interstate, many of the state laws may not apply; contact your organization's legal counsel for details. Kurt F. Sauer Tulsa, OK
