yes, they're called divertors and they give you a dialtone from which you 
can then dial out from.  how can you find one?  Good question...the best 
thing to do is get yourself a copy of toneloc and start scanning 
exchanges for dialtones.  if you find one, they often require you to dial 
9, or 99 to get a live dialtone.  Is this legal?  another good 
question... it would depend on who owns the line and if they mind you 
using it, I suppose. :-)
