Sounds like the time we found a bit pattern that would send the telco's
atm/frame relay switch port to Mars for several minutes.  I think it was
a stream of more than X space chars.  We could ping across the link with
spaces as the ping payload and knock the link down anytime we wanted.
It still took us a few days to convince the telco.  We were just lucky we
had three T1s on that link.
