Well, an autodial computer just dialed every one of our trunks in order to advertise an 1-900 scam for 'a free hotel stay', of course its $5.00/minute on the 1-900 number if you call to claim, and it will take at least three minutes to claim. They gave a name, although I am sure its an alias, but does anyone know who owns 226 in the 900 exchange (ie what carrier). The machine was capable of dialing more than one number at once, as lines would ring before the preceeding one hung up. A real nusiance to watch every line in order ring. They just set the entire exchange to be dialed in sequence. Of course, what's neat is that 9900 is high enough that in most exchanges it used to be reserved for payphones. Such fun, such fun.
