Emergency Interrupt Service - I forgot about that one. Been a LONG, LONG time since I've heard of anyone doing that one.

I suppose that kids these day don't even know what a 'busy signal' is.

I used this once in my life to tell a co-worker's wife to get her ass to the hospital because her husband had had a heart attack at work. He survived. I had seen it used once in a movie, and called the operator and asked her to 'break in' on a phone call. She did. It was pretty cool, actually.
