I’m curious about the thought processes involved in the Internet service
provider Demon choosing to have all its access numbers ending in 666.

Well, accessing the Internet over a phone line can seem like being in
purgatory. Except if you’re blessed enough to have ISDN access (numbers end
667), I suppose.
