- A friend of mine had an answering machine with an unusual special feature: it
- could be set to call a certain number, deliver a message, wait for a numeric
- code. If the code was entered correctly, it would play back the messages. If
- not, it would hangup and call back 10 minutes later. In retaliation for a prank
- I played on him, he set my number up as the to-be-called number. So, I went to
- the store, obtained a manual for his machine, and set abot cracking his
- security code (3 digits.) with my modem. I cracked the code, and then I changed
- the setup a little. The new message was "Do I smell a pork product of some
- kind?" (Wayne's World), and the new number it was supposed to call was the
- local police. He got in a LOT of trouble, but nothing permanent.
