I remember reading a short story like that in F&SF, which I believe was made
into a novel.  The short story I'm thinking of is "Michaelmas", I don't
remember the author.  Additional information:  the protagonist was an MIT
graduate who had started with phone hacking.  When the phone system got
computerized, he made a more complex system.  Eventually, his program
became sentient.  (I believe it was called Domenick and the man name was
Michaelmas (last name)). Had a run in with creatures that could redirect
electrons or something.  Anyway, it was a good story, and I want a pointer
to the novel, if any.
