A few days later I still felt a bit uneasy. I called the RCMAC (Recent Change Memory Authorization Center) at Pacific Bell and spoke to the clerk who processed orders for the San Jose switch. I asked her to query the dial-up number in the switch and tell me exactly what the switch output message said. When she did, I discovered it had a trap-and-trace on it. Son of a bitch! How long had it been up? I called the Switching Control Center for that area, posing as Pacific Bell Security, and was transferred to a guy who could look up the trap-and-trace information.
