The PowerDialer, like the Demon Dialer before it and whatever phreaker experiment originally spawned that, does one thing very well: it calls and calls and calls until someone picks up the phone. The sparkling spitlet of legitimate use might seem but a drop in an ocean of potential malice, but there's nothing illegal about owning one.
When you absolutely must get through immediately, the PowerDialer is a good bet: it can make more than two dozen attempts a minute. At $250, a software solution might be a better bet, but just listen to that little bugger go.
UPDATE: Commenters and emailers claim it is illegal, citing FCC regulations. The one in question is explicitly listed by the makers as something they comply with ("FCC Part 68 approved") so I've emailed for clarification. As they actually sell the thing on the open market, I suspect we have one of two possibilities: (a) the device comes preconfigured in compliance, but can be fixed, or (b) the FCC regulations can't be interpreted vanilla.
