Arclight's Update
Written 12-01-93
by Arclight
Welcome back to DnA magazine. This month their are some very killer articles,
so please enjoy it thoroughly. Everyone seems to have liked our Tax-ExposÇ last
month, so we will follow it up with more great features. This month there are a
couple of new things to report, so we'll get down to it.
Radio Shack Does it again
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Radio Shaft has just come out with their brand new line of telephones for
1994. Of particular interest is their new Clamshell phone, just introduced.
It is a standard telephone that folds in half, extended it is full size.
It's dimensions are approximately 4x5x1.5 inches, just small enough to fit
in the front pocket of a pair of Levi's. Can we say BEIGE BOX? We tested
this unit, and found it to be an absolute hacker's dream beige-box. At
$24.95 it is worthwhile. Ask for catalogue #43-830.
Digi-Key
~~~~~~~~
If you need any elctronics related item (such as micro 6.500MhZ crystals
for $1.67, part #X415,) Digi-Key is teh place to go. With an outrageous
selection of parts and supplies, such as DTMF chips, crystals,
micro-speakers, and other such, Digi-Key is your one stop hacker
super-store. Order their catalogue by calling 1-800-DIGI-KEY. I can't say
enough about these people.
Warning
~~~~~~~
We have recently had some rather nasty expeiences trying to buy
crystals, DTMF chips, and otehr phone items from retail electronics
stores. It would seem taht AT&T has sent out some sort of notice to many
sellers of electronics gear, advising that 6.5xx crystals are being used
in the construction of Electronic Toll Fraud (ETF) devices. We have had
and have seen others experience hassles ranging from interrogations
about why they need these items, to the police being called and
questioning one man over the telephone, after he bought a DTMF chip with
a personal cheque. So be wary of large, privately owned electronics
stores. This also makes it a bad idea to special order crystals and
related items from Radio Shack.
HCI and other Gun-Control groups
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With the "Brady Bill" and other anti-gun tripe being thrown around, we
have all been inundated with surveys, requests for donations, and
assorted propaganda from the Anti-Gun lobby. The next time you receive
one of these pieces of junk mail requesting money for people who want to
take your rights away, write "return to sender" on it so that they will
at least have to pay for postage back to their HQ's. Or better yet, send
them your contribution in the form of a large brick, wrapped up nicely and
stamped with the Business Reply/Postage guaranteed card included. They
will pay for postage to have your generous brick donation sent all the
way back to Washington.
That's all for this month's update, as it's time to get to the real
articles. Have fun, stay out of troube, don't stick your index finger in a
light socket, stay away from fattening foods, hig your YaK, and floss daily.
