In England, they have guards around the palace to keep idiots away from
the Queen.  Likewise, they have guards on the dialtones to keep idiots
away from the phone system.  So far, the guys at Buckingham have a better
record.  :)

Actually, I'm not exactly sure what a 'guard tone' is either, but most
analog modems seem to be able to do it, USRs, I think, with AT&G1 or
something like that.  Which is used for something completely different on
my ISDN adapter, which I suppose is okay.
