So I get this message on my voice mail saying "This
is Arthur Leets; please give me a call at 508-493-8064*."
So I call this number to discover that LO AND BEHOLD
someone has decided that I have HACKED INTO AND DISCOVERED
A WAY TO PATCH INTO THE DTN (Digital Telephone Network,
a DEC-Internal telephone system).
After twenty minutes of talking to the guy, I discovered
that apparently someone had gotten my comment making the
patches to PHONE available on Vesta.Sunquest.COM" and over the
course of traversing DEC security it had become a patch to
DTN...
I told him Ray Kaplan, an independent security consultant
based in Tucson, would be highly amused, but then I decided
some of you might also be... he made my day** :-)
