Ok, folks, 'fess up.  How many of you can whistle 24?

Heh heh heh... I used to mess with my high school's tardiness information
system by calling it up and whistling 2400 to it... it would try to answer,
but they'd set the timeout to 'null' due to the vagaries of having to connect
remotely via satellite. It would keep trying to handshake until someone
noticed and reset it. *grin* Therefore, it would be unable to call parents and
inform them that their students had been tardy.
