something calling 911

[amdskip]

A friend contacted me with a problem that he believes is related to his computer but I'm baffled. Something in his house has called 911 3 times in the last 2 days and he thinks it is related to his computer.

Computer is hooked up via dsl with no router or 56k modem. What else could call 911 in a house?

Cordless phone. We had one that called 911 repeatedly when the battery was dying.

Some old houses with old phone systems can do this.

Is he in an old house?

Not a bug. It needed help. It knew what to do.

I'd say the house is 40 years old.

Sensing that my cordless phone was gaining sentience, I removed the batteries and discarded it. God help us all if it had managed to link to the Roomba & was able to drive itself to its recharger.
