Can you imagine how annoying it would be to have a ringer (or equivalent) that
you could not shut off, a busy tone that somehow locked on, a canned message
saying to you over and over again "Please hang up and try your call again ..."
?  And what if you couldn't pull
the plug?  Could a problem at a CG/CO give you the equivalent of a
wopping headache and/or earache?
Run, don't walk to the nearest exit!
