  27.   INTRODUCTION
  28.   ------------
  29.  
  30.     And now for all you basement engineers... Here's the ROCK BOX!  Basicly what
  31.   the Rock Box does is channel the music from the stereo out to the phone line
  32.   via the headphone output.  There are two models to this Box, the Basic Box
  33.   and Advanced Box.  I would recommend the Advanced Box for better sound
  34.   quality, although the Basic one get's the job done.  Well... Enough for the
  35.   formalities, now for the Advanced Box!

  89.     Now some of the Benifits of this wonderful little device is that you can
  90.   record conversations, at whatever volume you want, without those bothersome
  91.   beeps the answering machines make.  Or another fun thing is call up a Rodent
  92.   Bridge and blast this thing with your stereo at full... Wala!  The bridge
  93.   will most likely be clear, even they won't sit through that shit.  It is a
  94.   good idea to hit Radio Shack for a project box and soderless curcuit board,
  95.   because this can be messy and a project box can easily make you look like a
  96.   pro.  One more use for it is if your computer can generate tones to match a
  97.   Box of some sort, this makes a GREAT amplifier for it, with almost no loss in
  98.   clearity.  If you have any problems with a humm or it intercepting radio
  99.   transmittions, then call up good-old Bell and get a line static clearer dealy
  100.   and splice that into the box via the outgoing line, which SHOULD clear it up.
  101.   If that does not seem to help, try putting a 9v battery (you know, the square
  102.   ones) on the red and green phone lines, because this will make up for the
  103.   power the box drains from the line.  Hope you enjoy the plans and Be watching
  104.   for more from me!  L8r...
