We could go lower-tech: if you whistle anything at all, it says in a 
robotic voice: FREE CALLING ENABLED.

We could surely make it higher-tech insecure and make it emulate 
vulnerable-to-colored-box phone systems, but I like the idea of having a 
sign in it that says:

 	WHISTLE FOR FREE CALLS

as if it's graffiti.

(Of course, it's always in free calling mode....)

I'd be happy to set up that VoIP service now that I have some Asterisk 
experience.  It could even stand outside and just do WiFi to get its VoIP 
packets back into The Lab, where voipcheap.com and our Asterisk setup 
conspire to create free global calling.

Tarjeta THIS!
