I remember reading somewhere about a university contacting Microware asking
permission to attack a BBS running OS9.
Microware set up a separate system and the college students and prof were
unable to break into the system.
Don't think this was in Rainbow but in a publication of Microware. CRAFT
running rampant here, can't remember much else.
