I'm sure I've told this story before, but back when I first started my
BBS on Telegard/FD, I went away for a week. Had a great time learning
XENIX at a class in Santa Cruz, CA on the California central coast. I'd
end up moving out there some twenty years later.

I got back in town, opened the door and heard, coming out of the BBS PC
speaker SOS in morse code. It turned out that shortly after I'd left,
the modem hung, FrontDoor couldn't reset it, it beeped out an SOS and
restarted. 90 seconds later, it repeated.

My neighbors must have loved that.
