	A little phone-hacking escapade by one of the more
	infamous members of the UCLA Computer Club in the '60's
	was something like this.

	UCLA and Berkeley had 6 tie lines.  He called Berkeley,
	then forwarded the connection to UCLA, then to Berkeley...
	and so on until all the tie lines were locked up in an
	infinite loop.  It took several hours to free them.

	BTW, I'm not a phone hacker, don't remember the right
	words, and couldn't describe exactly what he did.  I
	heard that since then they'd bullet-proofed against the
	technique he used though.  Perhaps the culprit is on the net
	and could volunteer details of this and other escapades.
