on his ease. Well, B didn't and A did And ihal’s where the 
trouble really started, 

For i be lust COu pie of years. a 3m col every few m inures, A L $ 
phone has been i inging . Al 1 he other end is e idler R n r someone 
Or something that B has programmed. Sonsetimes nothing is 
said; sometimes a threat is ulcered; sometimes the calkrjusl 
laufclia. A aiid his family huve been trying, literally for years, to 
put an end to this. At lirs! they drnpiy changed the number ro 
an unlisted CMC Within nn hour, 11 had found 1 he new ow. So 
they Lrietl ter change it again. New York Telephone refused. 
Hither they would have to pay Lin exorbitant fee this time, or the 
niunhei would not be f hanged. I hey said i: was impossible Lor 
somebody to find out their number so fast he must have been 
i li Id by somebody in She family. 

This scene was repealed Si number of Limes, with Ah family 

DIAL BACK SECURITY 

A computer security device tbsil ss often referred to as lacing 
foolproof is the dial kook system In the ease of a dial hack 
system, a computer has n dial up access numhei where users 
may enter iheir user I E ls and then their passwords I hen thev 
hang up or are disconnected from the computer and the very 
system 1 hey j issi u;i I leci w ill call back on a p rea era ngfrj u umber 
after u short period of lime The hacker cannot penetrate this 
because afirn he discovers liic working 1I>; password 
Combination. he cannot do anything but liung up and wail for 
i he computer to en'l mu io the preriTranged number . E] is 
extremely d[ffleu3i I'm- a hue Iter In receive a call at that 
prejivniigiid number, unless he laps into th'cleublc-patr at the 
home o t office ol the person who owriv the account anti then 
uses a portable computer and modem while squatling in a 
sewer , oil :i telephone pok, or perhaps in hushev 

I he number il sell' is not specif ied when the rail Is it'd I luted. 
'■Mil a i sun ie prsw ■ ous. t ime. usua I ly when i he liccuj n't was ‘ irst 
set up. Many companies icK oil d inl-hack systems for 
protection inti will v»ti 13c LiTonnd smiling. Ic>s1 i : nuvatj'g over 
how secure Iheir systems are liow lodlprdof they are. But 
these systems arc potentially vtiEncuihle. ’I he.se vul lie rabili lies

How 

Scant' older telephone swi Ichos use culler do ntro I w her t - 1 he 
call is only disconnected if the caller who originates .he call 
hangs up I his nwai.s that a modem entile not hang up on a 
cell (a usually a local caller w'hiy dialed inLd the computes. 
She modem would go "on hOuk". and the computer would 
think Ilia! it liung up, htd the caller would still bo there the 
second it pick ed up agai n 1 o m» ke ms otiigoi ng cal I.

pay the fee for most of them. 1 1 reached the point where R wuu id 
call them before they received their new number Lo tell them

t his wasn't all B had also managed to charge outrageous 
amounts in the family's phene bill. He would call their 
answering machine coiled on a long si isi a rice trunk and make it 
sound lo the operator as if someone hud said "ye.s"‘. Then h.o'd 
It' me i he cdnnecl inn open for hour s l le abo managed to place

hnpc debt. 

Meanwhile 11 has tried to get the unthoriiies tu look at A
