Silly Customer!

OK. Here’s one that’s good for a chuckle.
Customer has a terminal (remember those?) that’s locked. This is on a terminal server, so there’s no command to tell you what physical port the thing is connected to. We need to figure out what port it is plugged in to and reset that port. So, the site admin dutifully traces the wire from the terminal to the wall, and kills that port: #19.
Unfortunately, the terminal server is a 16 port unit.
