[comp.dcom.telecom] Die Hard ... Laughing, That Is

djcl@uunet.uu.net (woody) (07/13/90)

With the recent talk of telecom boo-boos in _Die_Hard_2_, there was a
discussion in the rec.ham.radio net some time ago about the original
_Die_Hard_ movie and how they had such things as full-duplex
walkie-talkies and other pieces of science fiction.

Meanwhile, there are the rather glaring gaffes in the movie
_War_Games_. The lack call completion delay in that war-dialing
sequence was an obvious imagination expander.


[Moderator's Note: I'd like to point out that Woody has a complete set
of area code and associated prefix tables for the entire United States
which he has offered in the past to share with telecom readers. Write
him at the above address for more specifics.   PT]
