Yeah, you're right it's built in to the Newton, but to my knowledge
it only becomes very workable when you add the extension that turns
the volume up on the dialing tones it generates. I know I hardly ever
got it to actually work by holding the phone's receiver to the speaker
until I added that extension... Anyone by chance know what I'm talking
about? I can probably find it somewhere on my home systems... (not
there right now).

On another note, writing "time in <city>" is pretty cool... didn't
know about that one!

Time in baghdad?
