In the infirmary now. The door is accessed with DTFM tones? Dunno for sure if these are. I did learn the DTMF tones years ago when they were useful, but I've learned other things since then and overwritten those synapses.

It was a 1 in a million shot, there was an open line to space division in Sunnyvale. The phone company screwed up.

Throw the number away and don't call it again. I'm sure they didn't trace the number.
