      BLUE HELL --- 604/926 8192

BLACK Box  >A  resister  and a  switch
-----------'installed  in  your phone,
so that  when a person calls  you at a
prearragned  time, lift  the receiver,
drop  it and pick it up, then  flip on
the switch  as fast  as possible,  and
he will  not  be charged for  the call
to your house.


BLUE Box  >produces fifteen (15) tones
----------'used by an operator to con-
ect  calls.   Standard  dialing  tones
have been  enhanced to produce  multi-
frequency  equivilents.   In  addition
there  are 'KP', 'K2', 'ST',  and 'DS'
keys.

   To  use  Blue  Boxing  hardware  or
software  you  will need  a very crisp
and clear sounding phone line.

   To make a  long-distance  call with
the  Blue Box dial the  directory ass-
istance  for a  certain province  (ex:
Ontario  -  416/555-1212).   While  it
rings  play the 'DS'  loudly  into the
handpeice.   If  you hear  an operator
hang up!  If  you are  successful  you
should  hear a quiet click followed by
a  quiet >beep<; you  have now  become
an operator!

   To dial play the 'KP' tone  or 'K2'
if  you are  dialing  overseas.   Then
enter the  area code and phone number.
Once  you  are  done  press 'DS',  you
should  be back at  the >beep< prompt.


CHEESE Box  >This  box will make  your
------------'phone  line   untracable.
When  a  trace is switched  onto  your
line this box  will reroute the signal
to some other location.


GREY Box  >This box detects  traces on
----------'your  phone  line (2000hz).


RED Box  >The box emulates  the sounds
---------'that  an operator hears when
you pump money into a payphone.


SILVER Box  >Your  phone originaly had
------------'sixteen  (16)  keys, 0-9,
'#',  '*',  'A',  'B',  'C',  and 'D'.
Keys A-D  are Telco override tones and
are  used to set up  your  own private
loops.   You  can do  this by  calling
directory assisstance and playing 'D'.
This  will  disconnect  the  operator;
you should hear a  pulsing tone.  Dial
'7'  and wait for a  friend to  do the
same,  but  instead of pressing '7' he
should dial '6'.


TAN Box  >This box  is used to convert
---------'ASCII  to  Telex  code.   In
good words, emulate a Telex.


WHITE Box  >A  portable  keypad  which
-----------'has ALL sixteen (16) keys.
