[VoIP] Office code assignment wiki hacked

Sometimes these things just happen, I guess two years is a good record.

The CNET wiki page for office code assignments was hacked yesterday by a 
very determined robot, whi't just  appeared to be simultaneously in 
China, India and in unassigned IP address space. So, instead of 
www.altaphon.com/cgi-bin/f8n.pl?TelCollNet, change the f8n to etz1k (the 
fourth character is a numeral 1) ... we have recovered the changes.

And while I'm here, I was surprised last week to get an actual call 
through the crossbar exchange from a list member in San Jose. I think 
this may have been the first actual CNET call to an actual listed 
extension, that wasn't just to a test number on the switch, even though 
it's been online for almost a year. 555-2368 does indeed ring on my desk 
(through a WE 202 set, no less) and it is not simulated ringback tone.

Cheers
