Your description doesn't match what actually happens in "Dial F for Frankenstein". The protagonists are not directly involved in creating the global network, they're just passively observing its effects, talking about it, and gradually realizing what has happened. And they don't manage to shut it down -- the story ends with them hearing news reports that militaries have lost control of their missile stockpiles, and realizing that the newly created AI is basically unstoppable. I'm guessing you're misremembering it, or confusing it with a different story. Or maybe you asked ChatGPT, and it hallucinated a description for you.
