I'm looking for an old classmate and found the
number 2164210095 but it rings once then goes
floop floop floop and hangs up. I've never
heard of this before. Is it a feature, a bug;-)
or a blue box or what?

(Yes, it's in the right area code and state.)

Sounds like you have dialed a telephone company test number, maybe
battery/ground, either that or he has problems on his end with something.

That actually sounds like a problem I once had with my phone line
years ago, although I didn't make a note of the exact noise I heard
when I tested it from work.

On an incoming call, the ring voltage would apparently be enough to
short the phone line outside, so I'd be lucky to hear a single ring
inside. I don't know exactly what they did to finally fix it, but I
suspect they simply replaced a section of the line.
