I am in the process of tracking down what might be a voice mail
hacker.  The situation is long and twisted, involving stolen
equipment, a local computer company, and the only lead is a voice mail
box.  According to the voice mail company, the box is not in use.
Hmmm.

I've heard several stories of folks hacking voice mail systems
(including changing greetings and, in one case, resale of services)
but I don't have any solid information.

Does anyone out there know more about this problem?  If you'll EMAIL
responses, I'll post a summary to the list.

Thanks!
