A faculty member (my last OS 9 holdout!) finally upgraded his beige
G3-266 to a spanking new G5 tower.
On a couple occasions he (or someone walking past his office) has
heard an odd noise coming from it, described as "the sound a phone
makes when it's off the hook too long".
The one time it happened when he was there it was not accompanied by
any alert or other notification in the Finder, though it's possible he
missed it (he's in the throes of switching from OS 9 to OS X)
He's not running iCal or any other scheduling program that would have
an alarm.
A couple of really stupid thoughts, but I thought I would throw them
out.
Did the user (not you Bruce!!) plug the ethernet port into the modem
jack on their desk phone?
Could it just be the fans ramping up, since the beige had a constantly
on fan?
Bad CD/DVD in the drive that the system starts and stops reading from?
Grasping at straws, but you never know when you might find the needle.
