A few years ago for about 6 months I had a message on my answering machine every Friday from some computer operators asking someone to switch their modem on because they couldn't connect, and to call back when ready. They never left a number to call back on (this was before 1471). I never understood why it took them so long to stop calling, or to sort out why it was that the other people never had their modem on, and never called back.
