 +This one is more dangerous (read: record into tape recorder, not computer, or enjoy ur fried sound card), but is piss easy and gives good sound quality.  
 + 
 +**Caution:** Phone lines typically run at 6 volts DC when off hook. Sound cards like 5 volts so this more or less works. But you've **got** to unplug it before hanging up! Why? When hung up, phone lines bounce up to 48 volts DC, which your sound card is not going to like. Worse, when the phone rings, about 70 volts AC will come slamming into your sound card, and that's pretty much the game, folks. This will blow your sound card and very probably your motherboard right to the moon.

 +There are a variety of circuits to tap phones that protect your computer all over the Net. But its easier to just walk into Radio Shack, tell them you want to make a recording of your phone calls on your computer, and let them set you up.

 +Note it's against the law to record unless you generate an audible "beep" every 15 seconds. State laws may vary.

 +==== Direct Tap Tutorial ====
  
 This tutorial is basically a re-write of a previous tutorial on wiretapping. this tutorial is aimed at people who want to monitor/record phone conversations, but are too lazy to read a complicated diagram. Keeping this in mind, this method is not exactly *good* for the phone line, phones, tape recorder, etc. The pros and cons are listed below. This tutorial is basically a re-write of a previous tutorial on wiretapping. this tutorial is aimed at people who want to monitor/record phone conversations, but are too lazy to read a complicated diagram.

 +A 'ditto box' is a way of building a DIY mute button into a land-line phone.
  
 I'm sure that many of you have wanted at one time or another to eavesdrop on someone, but have discovered it hard to keep quiet or keep the mute button down the entire time. Well, with some basic tools you can make your own 'mute' button, which is far easier to operate (i.e. no holding a button down). I'm sure that many of you have wanted at one time or another to eavesdrop on someone, but have discovered it hard to keep quiet or keep the mute button down the entire time.
