Curious why my BBS wasn't coming up after several redials, and with the volume off late at night so as to not disturb the rest of fam, I switched on the volume to my modem to hear this:
click "Hello, Maple Ridge Police Depar.... damnit, not this again. Let's get a line trace go.."
RESET
- corobo 9y agoHah I had something similar except with the volume on. Managed to figure out it was a faulty line splitter where we split the phone and modem Turns out (at least here in the UK) if you repeatedly hit the hangup button it will dial emergency services and the splitter was doing the equivalent of that Very disconcerting as a new internet user to have the police tell you to stop calling them through the back of the computer under the desk
