 Now, i know you're saying, "What, is that the best you could 
 come up with?" Well, this is basically a general article on what 
 you can do with your home fone.
 
 But first, i'd like to share with everyone a neet trick i learned.
 
 1. Push Ctrl-Esc (this should open the start menu)
 2. Push Esc (this should close the start menu, but now it's selected)
 3. Push Alt-{dash} (this should open a menu on your start button)
 4. Push Alt-F4 (this should close the start button!)

 (It's great to do to ALL the computers in your school, they'll think 
 they got a virus and get a professional to come in)

 To get it back reset the computer, and if theres no security thingy, 
 just restart explorer.


 Now to the main point of this article. Ok so you've cracked open your 
 ordinary Bell/AT&T/Lucent fone.  Now what?!  Well, you've got the 
 keypad, the reciever, the jack for the wall, the jack for the reciever, 
 and possibly a smaller brown memory board.  What the hell are you sposed 
 to do with this? Well, i've got four ideas.

 1. Create a really cool handy Beige Box
 2. Throw it at your little brother.
 3. Make a Bypass Box

 1. Ok, so what you do is find yourself a cigar box and some quality 
 tape, although i recommend solder.  From there open the cigar box and 
 remove that pesky nail, for now.  Take a long fone wire and strip 
 it down, usually you only need the red and green wires, but you can 
 use allofem if you want.  Cut two holes, on opposite sides a little 
 bigger than either of the two jacks you removed from the fone.  KEEP 
 THE PIECES OF CIGAR BOX YOU CUT OUT.  Pop the jacks into the two holes 
 that you just created.  Solder 'em in good, or tape them. Solder/Tape 
 everything else into the box in a nice corner, so you've got room,
 for whatever you want, like a good collection of l/d numbers, the 
 telefone book's more interesting pages, a screwdriver, and a GIANT wire.  
 With the cut out pieces, tape them over the jacks, so the box is 
 inconspicous.  Put the nail back in and rubberband it shut, with 
 everything inside but the reciever, there...you have everything you
 need to beige, in a nice compact box!
 
 2. Open it up, and seperate all the big parts from the small ones.  
 Go get a fan and some shaving gel.  When he's in his room, not paying 
 attention, hide, and throw all the little pieces at him, 1 by 1.  Put 
 the fan, facing him, turn it on high, quickly spray shaving gel all 
 over it.  When he's cleaning up, chuck the fone at him and watch him 
 cry.  Then apologize, get another fone, and do it to the other brother.
 
 3. Finally, we return to the point.  Betcha never heard of a Bypass Box 
 before.  Well, i hate muted handsets on Bell fones, and there were no 
 box plans, so i made my own.  First off, i hate writing things other 
 people wrote, so find your own redbox plans and, you guessed it, make 
 one!  Follow my plans up above for a cigar-box-beige box.  This time 
 keep all four wires when you strip the fone wire.  Solder your redbox 
 to the top of your reciever, and solder the speaker right next to the 
 mouthpiece.  Now you've got a Bypass "Red" box, or simply a Bypass box. 
 Using it is easy, just tap into the payfone with the beige part of the 
 box, and from there use the red box as you ordinarily would on a non-
 muted fone!  That, is the best way to get around a muted Bell fone. 
 Muted COCOTs you say?  Easier!  Just beige them!  This works for most,
 if it doesnt work 'round where you live, email me, nothingg@yahoo.com
 
 PS  If this box already exists, email me, and i'll give it it's rightful 
 name and list it's creator's handle.  If not, it was created by 
 Nothingg, now don't forget that!
