I'm like: sure, looks cool, but otoh, sniffing a network is easy enough. Sniffing a PSTN line requires more - I presume - than your average networkcard cq modem ? Or am I totally de-synchronized on this ? In the ISDN-case, more specifically, isn't it so that as opposed to PSTN, if you get an error on an ISDN-line, the connection will drop ? So the sniffer should be pretty silent.
Wiretaps are done quite easily. I've done ISDN and FramRelay taps with the customers consent to track down (performance) problems. But doing this without their consent shouldn't be very difficult. Having a good network analyzer is a good start. Adding a shovel to dig up the line and your nicely on your way to tap a wire.
