-> (A telco switch can only handle about 8% of it's phones calling
-> another 8% at any given time, and a cell site can only handle 8, (or
-> 16?) calls per site, and if 20% of the phones are off-hook at one
-> time, the whole system crashes!)  (I have seen this happen.)

yup, got a note in one of telephone bills asking us not to do this.  :)

-> 2) There is an orginization of computer hackers that have a
-> "surprise" for any online computers they can find, including ISPs,
-> BBSs, etc. for that period of time.  You're lucky: you run a
-> private system.

im a sysop.  everyday holds a 'surprise' from my users. :)
