I've heard of normal phone numbers that actually called 911. I always assumed that in some places 911 may just forward to another phone number. One of the risks of war-dialing I guess. :) Anyone else have any information on this. I've always wanted to know what this was all about. -- Brian Birkinbine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GnuPG/PGP Key: 0x37D55FF6 On Fri, Jan 11, 2002 at 01:22:32PM -0800, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Chris, > PhoneSweep from Sandstorm Enterprises in Cambridge, MA (www.sandstorm.net) > is the tool we use.
