     FIRST OF ALL, I GIVE GREAT THANX TO THE WOLF FOR HIS HELP ON THIS FILE,
AND OF COURSE TO MAD MAX, FOR HIS DICTATION. OTHER THANX GOES TO:

MYSTIC WARRIOR

AND JASON ANDERSON, ALSO KNOWN AS "MR. SHIT".

NOW HERE ARE ALOT OF BOXES TO BE BUILT TO PHREAK OVER THE PHONE LINE AND
OTHER HANDY "RIP-OFF-THE-PHONE-COMPANY" BOXES.

BLACK BOX
=-------=

A BLACK BOX LETS A PERSON CALL YOU AND THEY DON'T GET CHARGED FOR IT. THIS IS
GREAT FOR CALLS THAT DON'T GO PAST A HALF AN HOUR. AFTER A HALF AN HOUR, THE 
PHONE COMPANY GETS SUSPICIOUS, AND THEN YOU CAN GUESS WHAT HAPPENS!

WHAT THIS BOX DOES IS KEEP THE LINE VOLTAGE FROM DROPPING BELOW 10 VOLTS WHEN
YOU ANSWER YOUR PHONE. THE LINE IS INSTEAD KEPT AT 36 VOLTS, AND SO THE PHONE
STILL THINKS IT IS RINGING WHILE YOU ARE TALKING. THE REASON THAT YOU SHOULD 
KEEP YOUR CALLS UNDER A HALF AN HOUR IS BECAUSE THE PHONE COMPANY WILL THINK
THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOUR LINE, AND THEN THEY WILL INVESTIGATE.

ALL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AT RADIO SHACK. THE MOST THAT THIS BOX WILL COST YOU 
IS $2.00 AT THE MOST. THERE ARE TWO SCHEMATICS FOR THIS BOX, ONE IS FOR
NORMAL PHONES, AND THE OTHER IS FOR PHONES THAT DON'T WORK WITH THE FIRST.

## SCHEMATIC 1 FOR MOST PHONES ##
##        LED ON: BOX ON       ##

FROM >-------------------GREEN-> TO
LINE >--!   1.8K LED  !---RED--> PHONE
        !--/\/\/\--!>-!
        !             !
        ------>/<------
              SPST


PARTS:    1  1.8K 1/2 WATT RESISTOR
          1  1.5V LED
          1  SPST SWITCH

YOU MAY JUST HAVE TWO WIRES WHICH YOU CONNECT TOGETHER FOR THE SWITCH.

## SCHEMATIC 2 FOR ALL PHONES ##
##       LED ON: BOX OFF      ##

FROM >----------------GREEN-> TO
LINE >--------      ---RED--> PHONE
             !  LED !
          -->/<--!>--
          !         !
          ---/\/\/---
              1.8K

PARTS: 1  1.8K 1/2 WATT RESISTOR
       1  1.5V LED
       1  DPST SWITCH

HERE IS THE PC BOARD THAT IS RECOMMENDED USING. IT IS EASY AND NEAT TO HOOK
UP.

**************  E      ****************

ONCE YOU HAVE HOOKED UP ALL THE PARTS, YOU MUST FIGURE OUT WHAT SET OF WIRES
GOTO THE LINE AND WHICH GOTO THE PHONE. THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT THE
LEDS MUST BE PUT IN, IN A CERTAIN DIRECTION. DEPENDING ON WHICH WAY YOU PUT
THE LED IS WHAT CONTROLS WHAT WIRES FOR THE PHONE AND THE LINE.

HOOK UP THE BOX IN ONE DIRECTION USING ONE SET OF WIRES FOR LINE AND THE
OTHER FOR PHONE.

* NOTE *  FOR SCHEMATIC #1, THE SWITCH SHOULD BE OFF.

* NOTE *  FOR SCHEMATIC #2, THE SWITCH SHOULD BE SET TO THE SIDE CONNECTING
THE LED.

ONCE YOU HAVE HOOKED IT UP, THEN PICK UP THE PHONE AND SEE IF THE LED IS ON.
IF IT IS, THE LED WILL BE LIT. IF IT ISN'T THEN SWITCH THE WIRES AND TRY
AGAIN. ONCE YOU KNOW WHICH ARE WHICH THEN LABEL THEM. NOW LABEL THE SWITCH IN
ITS CURRENT POSITION AS BOX ON.

NOW, WHEN THE BOX IS ON, YOU CAN ONLY RECIEVE CALLS. THE PHONE WILL RING LIKE
NORMAL, AND THE LED WILL FLICKER ON AND OFF. WHEN YOU PICK UP THE PHONE THE
LED WILL STAY ON, AND YOU MAY TALK TO THE PERSON, EXCEPT THE PERSON WILL NOT
BE CHARGED FOR THE CALL. WHEN YOU ARE DONE WITH THE CALL, HANG UP THE PHONE
AND TURN THE SWITCH TO THE OFF POSITION. IF IT IS ON, YOU WILL NOT GET A DIAL
TONE, AND YOU CAN NOT CALL OUT. ALSO, YOU WOULDN'T WANT IT ON IF MA BELL
CALLED!


BUD BOX
=-----=

THIS BOX IS RELATED TO THE BEIGE BOX, EXCEPT THIS IS A PORTABLE UNIT. IT IS
GREAT FOR MAKING FREE PHONE CALLS AND TAPPING A NEAR BY HOUSE'S LINE. IT'S
EASY TO MAKE, SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT (LIKE THE BLUE BOX!).

MATERIALS NEEDED:

2 ALLIGATOR CLIPS
1 PIECE PHONE OR NORMAL PHONE (ONE PIECE IS EASIER).
1 SOLDERING IRON
SOME SOLDER

CUT THE WIRE THAT CONNECTS THE PHONE TO THE WALL. INSIDE THERE SHOULD BE
COLORED WIRES: YELLOW, RED, GREEN, AND BLACK. IF THE WIRES AREN'T COLORED, NO
NEED TO GET HYPER, THE TWO IN THE MIDDLE ARE RED AND GREEN. THOSE ARE THE TWO
YOU NEED. MAKE SURE TO KEEP ABOUT 1-2 FEET OF THIS WIRE CONNECTED TO THE
PHONE UNLESS YOU WANT TO USE TXE OTHER WIRES LISTED ABOVE. NOW SOLDER ONE
ALLIGATOR CLIP TO THE GREEN WIRE, AND ONE TO THE RED. GO TO A NEAR BY HOUSE
AND LOCATE THE LITTLE GRAY BOX. IT'S SIMPLE TO FIND, LOOK BY THE GAS METER.
IT SHOULD HAVE THE BELL LOGO ON IT. TO OPEN IT, PUT YOUR HAND UNDERNEATH IT
AND PUSH UPWARDS. YOU SHOULD MAKE CONTACT WITH THE BOTTOM EDGE OF IT. NOW IT
SHOULD COME OFF NICE AND EASY. LOOK INSIDE AND YOU WILL SEE FIVE SCREWS IN
THIS PATTERN:

             *     *
                *

             *     *

THE SCREW IN THE MIDDLE AND THE TWO ON THE LEFT DO NOTHING (YOU MAY WANT TO
CHECK THE TWO ON THE LEFT, AS SOME PEOPLE HAVE A SECOND LINE HOOKED UP TO
THESE TWO). ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS WORRY ABOUT THE TWO ON THE RIGHT. THE ONE
IN THE TOP RIGHT-HAND CORNER IS THE GREEN, AND THE ONE IN THE BOTTOM
RIGHT-HAND CORNER IS THE RED. CLIP AND ALLIGATOR CLIP TO THE RESPONDING
TERMINALS (RED TO RED AND GREEN TO GREEN). YOU SHOULD GET A DIAL TONE. IF YOU
DON'T, SWITCH THE ALLIGATOR CLIPS AROUND. IF YOU STILL DON'T GET A DIAL TONE
(OR SOMEONES CONVERSATION!), THE LINE IS DISCONNECTED OR THE PHONE IS OFF THE
HOOK.

TO USE THE BUD BOX, JUST MAKE YOUR CALL, OR LISTEN TO THE LINE AND SCREW
AROUND. THE BILL WILL BE CHARGED TO THE PEOPLE WHOS LINE YOU ARE USING.


SCARLET BOX
=---------=

THE PURPOSE OF THE SCARLET BOX IS TO CREATE A VERY BAD CONNECTION. IT CAN BE
USED TO CRASH A BBS, OR TO MAKE LIFE MISERABLE FOR THOSE YOU AVENGE.

MATERIALS:

2 ALLIGATOR CLIPS
3 INCH WIRE OR A RESISTOR

1. FIND THE PHONE BOX AT YOUR VICTIM'S HOUSE, AND POP THE COVER OFF.

2. FIND THE TWO PRONGS THAT THE PHONE LINE YOU WISH TO "STATICIZE" ARE
CONNECTED TO.

3. HOOK THE ALIGATOR CLIPS TO YOUR RESISTOR/WIRE.

4. FIND THE LOWER MIDDLE PRONG AND TAKE OFF ALL WIRES CONNECTED TO IT.

5. NOW TAKE ONE OF THE ALLIGATOR CLIPS AND ATTACH IT TO THE UPPER MOST PRONG,
AND TAKE THE OTHER AND ATTACH IT TO THE LOWER MIDDLE PRONG.

6. NOW PUT THE COVER BACK ON THE BOX, AND RUN LIKE HELL (OR TO HELL IF YOU
WANT)!

HERE IS WHAT THE PHONE BOX SHOULD LOOK LIKE AFTER YOU ARE THROUGH:

          ##               ##
          ##               ##
                           /
                          /
                         /
                        /
                       /
                      /
                     /
                    ##
                    ##



            ##              ##

WELL, THAT IS IT FOR NOW. I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU CREATE A LITTLE HAVOC AND
CHAOS FOR NOW. I WILL COMPILE SOME MORE LATER IN -HOW TO MAKE VARIOUS BOXES
#2-. BUT FOR NOW, ENJOY.
