- BLACK Box >A resister and a switch
- -----------'installed in your phone,
- so that when a person calls you at a
- prearragned time, lift the receiver,
- drop it and pick it up, then flip on
- the switch as fast as possible, and
- he will not be charged for the call
- to your house.

-
- BLUE Box >produces fifteen (15) tones
- ----------'used by an operator to con-
- ect calls. Standard dialing tones
- have been enhanced to produce multi-
- frequency equivilents. In addition
- there are 'KP', 'K2', 'ST', and 'DS'
- keys.
-
- To use Blue Boxing hardware or
- software you will need a very crisp
- and clear sounding phone line.
-
- To make a long-distance call with
- the Blue Box dial the directory ass-
- istance for a certain province (ex:
- Ontario - 416/555-1212). While it
- rings play the 'DS' loudly into the
- handpeice. If you hear an operator
- hang up! If you are successful you
- should hear a quiet click followed by
- a quiet >beep<; you have now become
- an operator!
-
- To dial play the 'KP' tone or 'K2'
- if you are dialing overseas. Then
- enter the area code and phone number.
- Once you are done press 'DS', you
- should be back at the >beep< prompt.
-
-
- CHEESE Box >This box will make your
- ------------'phone line untracable.
- When a trace is switched onto your
- line this box will reroute the signal
- to some other location.
-
-
- GREY Box >This box detects traces on
- ----------'your phone line (2000hz).
-
-
- RED Box >The box emulates the sounds
- ---------'that an operator hears when
- you pump money into a payphone.
-
-
- SILVER Box >Your phone originaly had
- ------------'sixteen (16) keys, 0-9,
- '#', '*', 'A', 'B', 'C', and 'D'.
- Keys A-D are Telco override tones and
- are used to set up your own private
- loops. You can do this by calling
- directory assisstance and playing 'D'.
- This will disconnect the operator;
- you should hear a pulsing tone. Dial
- '7' and wait for a friend to do the
- same, but instead of pressing '7' he
- should dial '6'.
-
-
- TAN Box >This box is used to convert
- ---------'ASCII to Telex code. In
- good words, emulate a Telex.
-
-
