This is a fairly simple modification that can be made to any phone.
All it does is allow you to take any 2 lines in your house and create a party
line. So far I have not heard of Any problems with it from my friends that
have
set one up and I have not had any either. There is one thing that you will
notice when you are one of the two people who is called by a person with this
box. The other person will sound a little bit faint. I could overcome this
with some amplifiers but then there wouldn't be very many of these boxes made.
I think that the convenience of having two people on line at any one time will
make up for the minor volume loss.

In some houses the black and yellow are already wired in others you
will have to go out to your box and rewire it. A good way to figure out which
line is which is to take the phone you are looking for off the hook. Then you
only need to take the red and green wires entering your phone and hook them
to the different pairs of red and green going into the house. You can't hurt
anything in the phone or telephone by probeing. When you find the pair that
you want take the black from your line and attach it to the red of the other
line then take the yellow and attach it to the green line. Now you are all
set
to go. For people with rotary phones you can have one person call you then
place the second call out to the other persOn. Though not phreakers tool, the
brown box can be phun.
