That would be an excellent idea! Number like 1-900-HOT-DBA would probably 
attract 
many late night callers in need of tender conversation about backup and 
recovery,
RMAN and SQL optimization. You could even discuss sordid little topics
like DBI, Streams and using OpenLDAP to implement net resolution.
That is a really sexy idea that cannot fail. Hey, you could even become
a DBA version of Rush Limbaugh or Howard Stern! Hey, you're posting
from the ".mil" domain! With a number like that, you'll be a real DBA puss in 
boots!
