True, but sending out a 9 digit number via pager waves is VASTLY different than connecting to say, the internet. It owuld be like saying your FM Radio is connected to the internet because you can here it anywhere you drive.

Maybe Flynn had antiquated hardware still attached to the server/Grid computer . . . He did dissapear in 1989.abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

The question is... if the line was truly disconnected (and you would think Alan would know, unless for some reason the line was as secret as the office and Alan just assumed it was disconnected because he thought he had disconnected all the phone lines*), THEN how did Clu get through? Especially since in 20 years, the number probably would have been reassigned several times.

*But: he recognized the number, so he must've been familiar with the line and knew it existed. I wouldn't put it past him to also keep that particular line open (after all, he's still sleeping with the pager, which would be pointless if the number he expected to hear from no longer was hooked up to the place he expected to hear from-- it'd be like waiting for an email from an account you know you closed: why bother?) but he does indeed state it's disconnected, and I doubt he was lying about that just to create intrigue that might draw Sam out.where to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill online

I think this was actually mentioned in Betrayal.

Flynn (with his increasing concerns for his pregnant wife) actually built a hand-held telephone thing, and left it with his wife with a note telling her to phone a number on the note if she needs to contact him.
(Which she does when she goes into labour. Whilst on The Grid he gets a message from her-which appears on the palm of his hand, glowing-and rushes off to the hospital, much to Clu's profound interest).

It still doesn't explain how Clu got Alan's number though....:-P

Well, Alan said the number was from "Flynn's office at the Arcade." Before we find out about the hidden lab, to me, I thought the office that Alan was referring to was the iconic Flynn's office area near his upstairs apartment (where we saw him hacking into Encom and inserted CLU 1.0 in the first film). To me, I think that's the office that Alan was referring to, because it's clear that Alan had no idea about Flynn's secret lab and the Grid he was working on and has been to Flynn's Arcade and has probably seen the upstairs office. However, what he didn't know was that Flynn may have attached an additional phone line to his office line so he could run a phone down to the lab in case someone needed to reach him in the real world (which is sort of backed up in the comic) and has it attached to the Grid's computer system but giving it limited access to the phone line (which he could have used to bring additional programs in from Encom's server without having to draw attention to himself by doing the Sneakernet method. Basically, it's sort of line it is now with the internet. Which would be simpler: Going to a computer at a physical location with a transferrable medium to be able to download files or accessing the same computer via online and copying the files straight to your computer? The answer is the latter). So, there's a good chance Flynn accessed the Encom servers to transfer copies programs and files onto the Grid and keep his project a secret.
