A few quick replies to this thread about crank calls 1) Where are you listed in the phone book? I got a few crank calls when my name was in the upper corner. 2) does your phone number form a pattern when dialed from a touch tone phone, such as all corners, a row or column? 3) Putting a modem on the line doesn't seem to work. People keep calling my modem line. Since the modem is normally on autoanswer on the first ring, I can't pick up the phone in time to tell the dopes to stop. Some dating service was giving my modem number as some gal's number. Imagine - guys calling my modem for a date! But that's misdirected calls, not crank calls. -- Jeffrey Jonas jeffj@panix.com
