demons

1987.12.31 23.02

I dug up the demon dialer program I wrote in 1983 and let it loose for old time's sake. The results below include incremental dialing from 7137491000 through 7137497999 (UH) and 7139370000 through 7139375500 (NW Houston). The format you'll see below first lists the number which had a successful connection, the estimated baud rate, and as a bonus I'm including some research data that came though by way of attempting to log on (if prompted) by entering an obviously fake username. I have no intention of making any hack attempts, thankyouverymuch. Very interesting what you find these days. Yeah, I was bored. How'd you guess?
