Do you think someone w/ a redundant and repetitive .signature can REALLY
be called a hacker?

ObHack:
  A few years back Lehigh U. put in a digital PBX, which meant (among many
other things) that students couldn't use their answering machines.  Since
I wanted a machine in my room I modified a vintage RadioShack model to
talk to the A/D and D/A converter in the phone; the whole mod needs 1
relay and 1 transistor, solder and wire, and takes about a 1/2 hour to
do.  The problem is that our "office of telecommunications" doesn't
believe me that it works, even though I used mine the entier second
semester of my freshman year, apparently beacuse they think that the
ENTIRE phone is digital. (something about square sound waves sounding
like round ones...)
Sorry, this is the best story I can tell; anything else might cost
my degree :)
John.
