I had a similar problem.

My friend at the time, Mr Watson and I solved the problem with a VERY long =
piece of string and a Morse Code primer. Then =E2=80=A6. when the Dixie Cup=
 was invented =E2=80=A6=E2=80=A6.. well you know the rest of that story.

But anyway =E2=80=A6.. what you don't know about is that of course, all of =
this was pre Alexander G Bell. And guess who wound up working with him. Yep=
, my good friend, Mr Watson.
