In most communities in the United States running the following DOS
program will cause a rapid police response to the address where
your computer is located. This program might not work with a WinModem.
Substitute for "X" the number of your COM PORT. The program
continuously calls the police, dialing silently, and hangs up, and then
calls the police again. There is no need to send a voice message. The
police will most assuredly respond ASAP. Also they will arrive well
prepared to confront anyone who gives them any problems at your address.
They already *know* there is a problem there and they know where you are
because they have caller ID.
--------------- begin POLICIA.BAT ---------
@echo off
REM In three places in this program substitute for X your modem comport number.
REM The best way to terminate this program is to press CTRL + C.
REM Remember to hang up your modem after terminating the program.

REM The line below hangs up and disconnects the modem if it is connected.
echo ATH0 > COMX
REM In the line below substitute any program to pause your computer 4 seconds.
sleep4
REM The line below resets your modem to its normal defaults
echo AT&F > COMX
REM In the line below substitute any program to pause your computer 4 seconds.
sleep4
REM In the dialstring, 2nd line below, MO is the command to silence the modem.
REM Use PT instead of DT if you have a rotary phone.
echo ATMODT911 > COMX
REM 911 is the emergency police number in most US communities.
REM Substitute for 911 whatever number is appropriate in your jurisdiction.
REM In the line below substitute any program to pause your computer 10 seconds.

Running the above program will surely get the results it is intended to
produce. Modify as required. I hope nobody ever has to use it, but it is
a good program to store on your hard drive and in a directory within your
path variable, just in case.
All the best,
