I'm a big fan of Jane Barbe, the Time Lady. Phone Trips

has a lot of great recordings of her Bell System work, but I can't seem to find her Octel voice mail recordings anywhere online. I had the chance to record them about 20 years ago just before my university switched to the Marsha Graham prompt set, but unfortunately, I didn't.



Does anyone have any of these recordings or know of a site or a person who does? Or is there a machine out there someplace that's still running "American English (Jane)"? I'd really love to hear the system again, and I'd really appreciate any pointers.



Thank you, Bobby Evans


I had no idea there were others out there like me that just want to hear the prompts again. lol
