Server 54, Where Are You?

The University of North Carolina has finally found a network server that, although missing for four years, hasn't missed a packet in all that time.
Try as they might, university administrators couldn't find the server. Working with Novell, IT workers tracked it down by meticulously following cable until they literally ran into a wall. The server had been mistakenly sealed behind drywall by maintenance workers.

so, true story or urban legend? i've heard that one in the past, but as far as i can remember, it's always had all of the same details.

i wonder if it will ever evolve into "a linux box that never missed a packet in 8 years" or "an nt box" ... or, who knows.
