   I still remember my call to the phone company to figure out why my BBS line    
   all the sudden had call waiting on it.    
   Seems the phone company had took it upon themselfs to offer it at a free rate.   
   Then I got to explain what the line was used for and how stupid it was to just   
   do somthing like that without first asking me about it. Thats when they came    
   up with LineLock(tm) I may have invented the idea ;)
