Ben,

I'm not the OP, but I would love a copy of this.  I've got an overhead 
paging system that uses standard RJ12 connectors for its two input 
signals.  This little app would allow me to eliminate the 'wiring hack' 
I've been running up to now.  Plus it would allow me to remove the sound 
card from the * box, thus freeing up more resources for * to do it's thing.

Thanks,
Chris
