I got a similar one done to me late one night by a friend.  He pinged me
with the triple + and then ATM3 (I think, my hayes factoids are a little
rotten) which turned the modem volume up high.  The bastard didn't even
switch it back out of control mode afterwards!  Needless to say, I had a
stalled modem screaming at top volume in the middle of the night.
