Introduction:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You might be wondering, "What was wrong with the original click box?"
Nothing was really wrong with it. In fact it was a really cool idea (mad
props to the guys at NTOP who thought it up) but the actual construction
presented a problem. The main component was a mechanical bell (the kind
used as ringers in old phones) hooked up as a relay. This seemed fine until
I realized I had no idea where to get a bell without buying an old phone
to tear apart. That would be a waste of a good phone and very uneconomical
as well. Additionally, I figured that a mechanical bell would be difficult
to hide because, (a) it makes noise (duh!), (b) it's relativly big, and (c)
it needs space for the hammer to move. So I decided to redesign the box
using more common and inexpensive parts.

Parts:
~~~~~~
C1   = 1uf 100V capacitor
R1   = 100K ohm resistor
RLY1 = SPST relay, normally open
BR1  = bridge

2 alligator clips
some wire

Construction:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This box is simple enough to be constructed without a pc-board. Just
solder the components and epoxy them together (if needed). The component
values shown are of the ones I tried out. You can most likely substitute
them for a wide range of values as long as they are rated for 100V and
up. If the relay's coil rating is too low it will eventually burn out.
You might be able to use a ziener diode in paralell with the coil to cut
down the voltage and extend the relay's life.

Operation:
~~~~~~~~~~
The capacitor keeps the DC line voltage from triggering the relay. When
the 90VAC ringing signal comes down the line it triggers the relay which
takes the line off-hook. As soon as the line goes off-hook the ringing
voltage stops. The relay is no longer energized so the line goes back
on-hook, hanging up on the caller.

Use:
~~~~
Set this up on an enemy's line by hooking the clips to his tip and ring
and he'll never get a phone call again (at least until he figures out
that something is wrong). This is better than the old resistor between
the tip and ring because he can still make outgoing calls, so it will
take him longer to figure out that something is wrong and call the phone
company. For best results put the box on his side of the demarcation
point (the wiring in his home) and hide it well. That way its not the
phone company's problem and he'll have to pay someone to find it. hehe
