When I was a kid, the town next to us had a Stromberg XY board.  To  
call a party on your party line, you'd dial 8+XXXX where XXXX was the  
other party's phone, then hang up.  The other party's phone would  
ring, and I assume yours would too, but I don't recall the details.

All I really remember was the "bug" in the system, where you could  
dial 8 and Anyone's number (in that exchange) and their phone would  
ring.

So, I could call into this system and enter somone elses number and  
deliver a message at 03:30 AM ?

Sounds like fun!!!! :)
