Something just now occurred to me! In that movie, WarGames, the technique later called "wardialling" was used, dialling up sequential phone numbers to identify modems. But, the modem in that movie was shown to be an acoustic-coupled one. I don't know if acoustic-couplers were capable of dialling, automatically. They shouldn't have been, unless somebody added a circuit which allowed quick connects and disconnects to be made, probably using some kind of mechanical relay.
