ha!  another flashback!  back in the mid 90s alot of my friends and i ran
renegade bbs's... so, when he put in the % codes, i used to upload files
with a FILE_ID.DIZ containing high ascii codes, a sleep, carriage return,
and then NO CARRIER ... or sending my sysop friends emails with sleep
commands, he'd have to let his machine sit there and go through, otherwise
he couldn't delete the mail =]
