:: Allright, this wont cover the construction of a Beige Box or any of that ::
:: junk coz f0rbidden knowledge prides itself in its simplicity. This will ::
:: just cover use of a Beigebox in South Africa Now, take a stroll down to ::
:: that nice big blue box that says Telkom on it just down the road from ::
:: your house. yes, the one that looks like this... ::

:: ::
:: Right, now there are several methods which Telkom use to keep us out of ::
:: their precious little boxes... ::
:: ::
:: 1) A Handle - Yes, in the rural areas there will be a single handle ::
:: which will open the door. ::
:: ::
:: 2) Three triangular bolts - The most commonly used method, will open ::
:: with the proper tool ::
:: ::
:: 3) Three or One Circular Bolt - This is a wierd system which is also ::
:: common. Saw a little line in a piece of ::
:: hollow pipe and use it 2 open these ::
:: ::
:: 4) A Lock - Bah! Telkom cheats! I've never been good with lock picking ::
:: but I've found that bolt cutters also work :) ::
:: ::
:: Right, now let's say that you are in the box. What will you see, well, ::
:: there are two possibilities. You may see a big mess of black and white ::
:: wires. Find a black and white wire that originate from the same terminal ::
:: and strip them. Then connect your box. I've often found that Telkom have ::
:: already stripped quite a lot of the wires on these boxes, which makes ::
:: things go considerably faster. ::
:: ::
:: Alternatively, you may see little black and white terminals like the ::
:: ones that connect your speakers to your Hi-Fi. Strip your wires, slide ::
:: them in, and press down to make it snap into a secure connection. ::
:: ::
:: Once you've got a line, have fun! Phone your friends overseas, do ::
:: whatever. And if you want data, I would suggest getting your hands on a ::
:: Compaq C-Series PDA, tiny and secure, it's the ultimate hacking tool. ::
:: ::
:: Later... If you have any trouble with this stuff you can mail me at ::
:: wyze1@syrex.co.za for a bit more detail ::
