  Ok this this is a good Little box to start with for all you new Phreakers
out there... This Box is very easy to construct and parts for this box are
even easer to come across.. Of course we all can guess where the parts can be
obtained....Radio Shack..(Dosen't they get it that's there worst enemy)..
Well any way let get down to busness...


                       What and how...

What dose it do...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      When your phone is just sitting there doing jack shit the voltage
    in the line is Zero.. The If someone desides to call you(for some
    strange reason) and the phone is ringing. The voltage jumps to 48
    volts which tells good old Ma Bell to stand by to start billing to
    the person that is calling you... Well when you pick up the voltage
    drops to 10 volts and the billing starts.. Well what where gonna do
    is interfer with this process... Were going to add in out little
    black box to keep the voltage from droping to the billing level..
    We are going to let the voltage drop to 36 volts, therefore the
    incoming caller never gets billed..(ingeinious!)

History
~~~~~~~
      The Original Black Box was created by an ex-bell employee who went
    by the name "Captain Crunch". He got his name from those little whisles
    you got in boxes of Captain Crunch, because they emited a tone that
    was equal to a coin. Captain Crunch just announced his retirement from
    phreaking when he was released from a Califonia jail.. He was caught
    with a Blue Box..

(>Phone Modification instructions<)

      Time for a little repatition... Like I said all parts area abailable
    at Radio Shack... Use the least possible parts and arrangement, the cost
    is like under 2 bucks... and that is part for two of them.. Talk
    about a deal! If you want to splurge then you can get a board, and a
    switch...
