Nope. The operators can do nothing.  We succeed only once.  A friend

convinced a plant man to let him on and he whistled loud and long.
There was so much garbazh on my screen that I disconnected and
he was able to call me.  It's a daily event around here:  "I tried
to call you but your /deleted/ modem...!"  We finally got a second
line.   Meanwhile, if you leave the modem connected the caller
connects to the modem.  Unable to whistle ASCII, he's in trouble --
and so am I.

I'd rather be on Pictou Island, N.S.
