I hope you'll keep TELECOM Digest posted of any developments on this. I wouldn't be surprised to see a bunch of different news stories talking about how the Juvenile Court phone system was paralyzed, how the county decided to sue the newspaper and columnist for "irresponsible behavior" etc... Clive P.S. I tried calling the court several times just a few minutes ago, and got nothing but a busy signal... [Moderator's Message: I got a busy signal several times also, but my Demon Dialer came to the rescue and kept pounding away. I never did actually reach anyone. A couple calls did get through: on one, it rang *37 times* and was finally picked up with the response "please hold", and dead silence; no one ever returned to the line as of when I abandoned the call about a minute later. On the other answered call, it rang about a dozen times, a voice answered "Operator", said "Hello?" and disconnected. I'd say the board must have driven 'em crazy the past couple days! :) PAT]
