As it stands, speaker components and tape recorders don't really "speak". For example, MechComp microphones, station bounced radios, and tape records can't hear them. I could look into making them "speak", shouldn't been an infinite loop concern or spam concern seeing as it has a multi-second cooldown.
I'd need to implement a cooldown on the phone's input signal to prevent abuse. (repeatedly calling someone, holding the line)
First part would be the phone, second part would be the speaker comp.
Okay different idea:
Make a signaler-timer assembly, combing it with a tape-recorder, combine that with a phone to create an automated dialer. The phone can no longer be manually spoken into. It has a generous cooldown. a number can be dialed manually or through MechComp OR through wifi. If the received signal does not parse to a valid phone, then the "next" phone line is dialed, cycling through all available lines.
The above is a significant code project, one that is very low on my priority list.
