The CNET number was not registering for some time today (0817 - 0908
according to the log file) so if you tried then it would have probably
returned a busy tone.

When i dialed 2988085 on sipgate with my GPX2000, the (male) voice came
a bit hackled through, i got hanged up, at my first try, second try, i
came through,(male) voice sounded in same quality, as first call) and
strangly, the (female) time message, i then dialed, sounded better, en
clear to hear...

When Brian Cobby became the voice of the speaking clock there was massive
TV publicity, but the sponsorship deal just was not mentioned.
I remember being quite surprised and disappointed about the soiling
of this British institution when I got round to calling it.
The subsequent voice changes have gone quite un-noticed by me, and IMHO, by
most others.
