	Another interesting phone mini-hack: back in high school,
	our pay phone could be dialed for free byy rapidly clicking
	the hang-up toggle in the pulse-pattern of the number you
	wished to dial.

	Interesting & cheap, too.  Haven't tried this in a while,
	any ideas why pulse-dialing isn't disabled from touch tone
	payphones (at least that one) ?

	p.s. the phone company is your friend, don't do the preceding
	illegal thing if you can avoid it.
