Talk:Demon dialing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I object to the recent changes to war dialing and demon dialing. I can find numerous sites that define "war dialing" as dialing a range of numbers, and "demon dialing" as dialing the same number repeatedly (though sometimes it's given as a synonym for the former). Unless someone can justify the recent flip-flopping of their definitions, I'm going to change them back. --Arteitle 07:51, Mar 15, 2004 (UTC)
- If Arteitle's post were on Facebook, I'd give it a triple thumbs up. These definitions are completely ass-backwards. 76.10.64.30 (talk) 20:52, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
- For five years. For five flippin' years.
- The trouble with Wikipedia is that it's right too often for us to ignore it and wrong too often for us to rely on it." - Patrick Young, paraphrased. 76.10.64.30 (talk) 20:56, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

I remember that MS-DOS TELNET programs would continue to "listen" on a BBS phone line until whoever was currently connected hung up; would this fit into this article as a subtype of demon dialing? ExOttoyuhr (talk) 18:52, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- "Automatic redial, which is essentially exactly the same thing, but for modems, and included in most telecommunications programs that use modems, including all variants of Dial-up networking ever included in the Windows operating system." This sentence is absolutely awful. 64.25.200.58 (talk) 23:50, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
