  13. >But "they" can't start tracing until they know they're being hacked.  And,
  14. >unless the law has changed, traces require court orders to begin with.  The
  15. >business being cracked doesn't have the power to trace the phone calls,

  19. From the Ottawa-Hull January 1993 phonebook:
  20.  
  21. "In some areas of Bell Canada territory, a pay-per-use service called
  22. "Call Trace" is available to single-line customers (residential and
  23. business).  Call Trace enables customers to activate a trace on
  24. threatening or obscene calls by dialing a code immediately after hanging
  25. up.  Information concerning traced number(s) will be provided to the
  26. police as supporting evidence in subsequent legal proceedings."
