BROWN BOX
---------
------------
Introduction
------------
This is a fairly simple modification that can be made to any
phone. All it does is allow you to take any 2 lines in your
house and create a party line. So far I have not heard of any
problems with it from my friends that have set one up and I have
not had any either. There is one thing that you will notice when
you are one of the two people who is called by a person with this
box. The other person will sound a little bit faint. I could
overcome this with some amplifiers but then there wouldn't be
very many of these boxes made. I think that the convenience of
having two people on line at any one time will make up for the
minor volume loss.

|_____PHONE____|
In some houses the black and yellow are already wired in others
you will have to go out to your box and rewire it. A good way to
figure out which line is which is to take the phone you are look-
ing for off the hook. Then you only need to take the red and
green wires entering your phone and hook them to the different
pairs of red and green going into the house. You can't hurt any-
thing in the phone or telephone by probing. When you find the
pair that you want take the black from your line and attach it to
the red of the other line then take the yellow and attach it to
the green line. Now you are all set to go. For people with ro-
tary phones you can have one person call you then place the
second call out to the other person. Though not phreakers tool,
the brown box can be phun.
