My mom used to call the house from work at a random time between when my brother and I got home from school and when she left work. If she got a busy signal, she would wait about 15 minutes to half an hour and call back. If she got a busy signal a second time she would assume one of us was on the Internet and we would get in trouble when she got home.
Oh that's pretty smart of mom.
I'm getting nostalgic over thinking about the sound of the modem and the emotions that went with it.
If she knew a little more, she could be calling until crash the connection.
