Tap into the phone company's current... if you dare {Engadget}
Oct 15th 2007 11:18PM and to think... back in the 70s when Mom reported getting an electric shock from the phone during a lightning storm... the phone company laughed at her and said it wasn't possible.
I'd recommend *NOT* doing this though. Sure it might be "low" amps and only 40-70 volts, but...have you ever taken a shock? I'm sure there's a lot of people out there who don't realize it doesn't take a lot of apms to die - 30 milliamps can do it, if the conditions are right (or rather, wrong).
And then, of course there's all the legal issues... I'd say if you're worried about emergency power, get an UPS.
