- 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** :-)
