- Disclaimer: While AT&T markets AUDIX(tm) and a host of other voice-
- processing systems, I don't work on or sell them (except switches).
- That said, I must say that the use of a single "*" or other key to
- erase or do anything else that can't be "undone" is, to me, a mistake.
- Talk-off and other studies show that human voices can imitate a
- frequency pair fairly often; getting two in sequence (Audix uses "*D"
- or "*3" for "delete") is very unlikely.

- Al Varney - just MY opinion.
