 What a total waste! If you can't talk back, what the hellz it good for? 
 NOTHING! If I want to listen to someone talking on the phone, I'll use 
 my SCANNER!!

 : Well, for all I know, this is the newest box in existence: The Walkman Box!
 : What is a walkman box you say? Well, it's named for it's optional component,
 : the Sony Walkman. What does it do you say? Well this little box let's you 
 : listen in on a line with a pair of headphones, and if you are a teenager and 
 : add the optional walkman, you too can look like the average teen listing to 
 : "that influential heavy metal", when in fact you are committing the felony of
 : wire tapping! Fascinating isn't it? Well on to parts list...


 : Headphones, may be mono or stereo, see below. 
 : One SPST switch (You choose the type)
 : One 10k ohm 1/2 watt resister: 271-034
 : Two alligator clips: 270-375
 : One mono or stereo 1/8" headphone jack: 274-284(Stereo), 274-286(Mono)
 : Some wire (Find it in a bridging head....)


 : OK, here's the STEREO schematic:

 : the ring wire to get sound on both speakers)

 : Got it? Good. Now for the MONO schematic, it's basically the same...

 : Testing and calibration
 : -----------------------


 : Now, here's how I tested it, I grabbed my portable phone and went outside to 
 : my residential box. Opened her up, and connected. But you can test however you
 : want. Now, put on the headphones, and you SHOULD NOT hear a dial tone. If you 
 : do, you either: (a) Have a bad resister (b) Have a loose connection to the 
 : resister, or (c) Have to low of a resister. If (c), head back to RS and grab
 : a higher value. OK, turn on your portable, (or whatever) and you should hear 
 : a dialtone in the headphones. If not, flip the switch. If you hear a dialtone,
 : you 're in business. If not, you have either a loose connection or bad
 : headphones. You decide. Now your box is ready for use.


 : Usage and the optional part
 : ---------------------------


 : Well, it's not too hard to figure out how to use, but here is a synopsis. Flip
 : the switch to the "off" position, clip on, making sure your connections are 
 : straight (Ring and tip), and listen! Not too hard... anyway, I suggest you
 : tape your headphone connector to your walkman, plug in your headphones, and
 : you're ready to plug in. I suggest residential boxes because you can close 
 : them partway and you automatically know who you're listening to. Also, if you
 : are going to do some serious phreaking with this, I suggest you extend the 
 : wire, and put the resister and the switch in a box to protect them from 
 : damage. 


 : Some stuff I've heard and respected...


 : "Have phun and don't get caught!" 
 : "Don't let phreaking die!"
