    I found this website very useful, pay as you go and no need for any hardware.

    The t & cs for this say the recording will only be stored for 60 days,then you have to make your own back up copy.I would have no idea how to do this.

    That would come under making it "available to a third party" so you would need to make them aware beforehand.

    Presumably you can simply save the audio files to your computer.

    If they're just audio files on one's website account then it's like downloading anything else online just right click on the file and click "save as". This is assuming the website works like that as it sounds like it does from the way they describe the procedures.

    I just clicked on the MP3 link and when the box popped up I selected the option to save the file the same as I do music or video files.

    I wanted to have a copy of the call that I could grab easily without having to go online anyway.

    Not entirely correct, you would present your evidence to the judge\magistrate in a typed format, he would then decide whether it was relevant and you could play it back publicly.

    It could have been worse. At least source code's not combustible, or you can bet somebody at McAfee would have lit it.

    The best way is using the computer and some software.

    But I have been trying to do this for quite some time, the problem is not all modems will activate when you get a call (voice) only very few work.

    I have a few here that work sometimes then they fall over and stop.

    I have been looking for a suitable modem on Ebay for ages at the right price (cheap).
  • This is somthing I have been looking into, I was going to make a device like the one on hardware secrets but have not had time to do it as of yet.

    During my investigations i came across this piece of software (link below) that I hope should monitor a sound card, and when I call comes in or is made on the telephone line the software should automatically start recording.

    Assuming it was a civil case,rather than a criminal case,are you saying that even if the civil judge knew the recording was taken without the persons knowledge or permission,he could say it was admissable and overrule the person concerned?
