Actually, I was thinking this:


There's a WiFi repeater in close proximity to the phone lines. Of 
course, it also has a small wall-wart type switching power supply.

I was wondering how possible it might be that some kind of interference 
from the repeater or it's power supply might be taking the line off hook 
externally, then somehow pulse-dialing 911.

That seems to me almost statistically impossible, let alone to do it 3 
times in a 36 hr period. But if the switcher pulsed regularly at the 
right frequency...?
