Let me get IRC really quick, and I'll do that. :D

Edit: What server is that?

Here's the voice that appears right before and right after the tones. I wont say what I hear so it doesn't influence what you hear -- since it isn't too clear. Some type of voice synthesis or vocodor or something.

This probably isn't important and was probably figured out on IRC but it wasn't posted so here goes.

Hmm. That fits with what I was thinking earlier.

I found this poem by Dickinson, although matching the numbers to letters doesn't seem to produce anything intelligible, it is interesting.

I'm kinda doubting the numbers represent characters from a poem, or something of the sort. There are several numbers which are repeated numerous times, such as 9. It is likely that such a common character in our code would appear more than once in the poem, so why not use other places it appears, instead of always 9?

Nice Find!! I think that definatly has something to do with this puzzle. I cannot make out much of what the male computer voice says, but even before i saw your post I thought i heard something about (dis)enchanted ones. But what could this poem mean?

This is the tones file edited slightly to produce a more harmonic, slightly more pleasing to the ear tone to try and determing if anyone can recognize a song here. It is also sped up a bit.

edited to add a cleaned up normal and reverse message.

Speaking of the voices, Jamie's answering machine greeting is obviously voice-synthesized as well.

I'm sticking to my theory that JC is a guy.
