THE JOY OF "BOXING"
BY THE DRAGYN
I AM WRITTING THIS ARTICLE TO INFORM THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE A BOX
AND ARE GETTING BORED WITH NOTHING TO DO OR IF YOU JUST AREN'T QUITE
SURE WHAT YOU ARE DOING WHEN YOU PLAY AROUND WITH MF TONES. FIRST OF
ALL, WHEN YOU BLAST OUT THE 2600HZ TONE, YOU ARE DROP PING A TRUNK AND
ESSENTIALLY, YOU BECOME YOUR OWN OPERATOR. WHEN YOU PLACE A LONG
DISTANCE PHONE CALL, A COMPUTER USUALLY DOES THE MF TONES FOR YOU AND
YOU DON'T HEAR THEM. IN THIS ARTICLE, I WILL DEAL WITH INTERNATIONAL
CALLING, CONFERENCING, EMERGENCY-BREAK THROUGHS AND JUST HAVING FUN
WITH THE BOX. BUT NOWDAYS, BOXING IS MUCH MORE RISKIER THAN IT WAS
BACK 10-15 YEARS AGO, SO IF YOU AREN'T CAUTIOUS OR YOU LIVE ON A
MODERN ESS, THAN YOU MIGHT JUST GET CAUGHT (BUT IF YOU'RE NOT 18 YET
THEN BIG DEAL! GO RAG THE HELL OUT OF MA BELL!)
HAVE YOU EVER WANTED TO CALL OVERSEAS AND TALK TO SOMEONE IN ANOTHER
COUNTRY? OR ARE YOU JUST BORED OF METROFONE OR MCI? THEN TRY THIS:
WHEN YOU PLACE AN INTERNATIONAL CALL, IT IS ROUTED THROUGH THE CLOSEST
OR CLOSEST UNBUSY INTERNATIONAL LINK. YOU CAN FIND THESE LINKS BY
GOING KP-213-182-ST. THIS IS THE LOS ANGLES LINK. MOST MAJOR CITIES
HAVE THEM BY THE COAST LIKE NEW YORK KP-212-182-ST AND EVEN DENVER
KP-303-182-ST. WHEN YOU CALL ONE OF THESE LINKS, YOU WILL GET A TONE,
SOMETIMES NOT, AND THEN YOU HAVE ABOUT 10 SECONDS TO ENTER THE NUMBER
YOU ARE DIALING IN MF TONES. IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE, IT WILL TELL YOU.
THE NORMAL FORMAT FOR MAKING A CALL WOULD BE: KP-212-182-ST (WAIT FOR
TONE) KP-( COUNTRY CODE)-(PHONE NUMBER IN COUNTRY) -ST THEN WAIT FOR
THE CALL TO GO THROUGH.
THERE TWO WAYS TO DO CONFERENCE CALLS. ONE IS TO MF UP
KP-213-080-1050- ST. THIS GIVES YOU ALIANCE TELE-CONFERENCING IN LOS
ANGLES. THE WAY THIS ONE WORKS IS YOU ENTER KP-2130801050-ST WAIT
TILL YOU HEAR IT DROP TWICE THEN YOU ENTER ANOTHER NUMBER THAT THE
CALL IS GOING TO BE BILLED TO (USUALLY SOME- ONE THAT YOU DON'T LIKE).
THIS ONE IS TOTALLY COMPUTER CONTROLLED AND YOU JUST ENTER THE INFO
NEEDED BY A NORMAL TOUCH TONE PAD. THE OTHER WAY FOR CONFERENCING IS
TO MF UP YOUR LOCAL OR NOT SO LOCAL CONFERENCE OPERATOR. TO DO THIS
JUST DROP A TRUNK THEN GO KP-(AREA CODE)-11511-ST AND THE LADY WILL
ANSWER "CONFERENCE OPERATOR, CAN I HELP YOU?" NOW IF YOU WANTED TO
HOOK JUST 1-10 PEOPLE TOGETHER YOU GIVE HER THE PH#S AND SHE WILL DIAL
THEM UP AND PUT EVERYONE ON TOGETHER, MEANWHILE, SHE THINKS YOU ARE
THE OPERATOR SETTING IT UP FOR SOMEONE ELSE. ONE NOTE, WHENEVER YOU
ARE DIALING IN MF TONES AND GET AN OPERATOR, THEY HAVE NO IDEA THAT
YOU ARE BOXING, THEY JUST THINK YOU ARE AN OPERATOR FROM SOMEWHERE OUT
OF TOWN. SO DON'T BE SCARED, GIVE THOSE OPERATORS HELL! IN FACT, IF
YOU CAN FIND A GOOD OPERATOR, THEY WILL EVEN TELL YOU HOW TO DO
THINGS.
NOW DON'T YOU ALL HATE A BUSY SIGNAL? EVER TRY TO GET TO SOMEONE
AND THE LINE WAS BUSY? WELL, DON'T FRET ANYMORE! LET'S SAY THAT THE
PHONE NUMBER 612-874-8700 WAS BUSY AND YOU WANTED TO GET THROUGH.
FIRST YOU WOULD DROP YOUR TRUNK THEN GO KP-612-121-ST. THIS WILL GIVE
YOU A LOCAL OPERATOR IN THE 612 AREA CODE. WHEN SHE ANSWERS (SHE
THINKS YOU ARE AN OPERATOR FROM SOME-WHERE ELSE CALLING) YOU SAY
"EMERGENCY INTERRUPTION ON AREA CODE 612-874-8700 AND THE PARTIES NAME
IS PETER (OR SOME DUMP NAME)." SINCE TRUNK VERIFICATION CANNOT BE DONE
BY OUTSIDE TOLL SWITCHING SYSTEMS, YOU CANNOT DO THESE BY BOXING AND
YOU HAVE TO LET THE OPERATOR DO THEM FOR YOU. AGAIN, SHE HAS NO WAY
OF KNOWING THAT YOU AREN'T AN OPERATOR WHEN YOU CALL HER UNLESS YOU
ARE 12 YEARS OLD AND SOUND LIKE A SNIVELING LITTLE WIMP. AFTER THE
OPERATOR HAS CLEARED THE LINE, YOU CAN DIAL IT AND I T WON'T BE BUSY.
IF IT IS OUT OF ORDER SHE MAY SAY IT IS ODD OR OFF THE HOOK.
NOW LET'S SAY YOU JUST WANT TO MAKE AN ORDINARILY PHONE CALL OR CALL
AN 800 PH#. AFTER YOU DROP YOUR TRUNK, JUST DO THIS KP-(AREA
CODE)-(PH#)-ST, AND NOTICE THAT NO '1' IS NEEDED.
NOW, WHAT IF YOU HAVE A FRIEND WITH A PHONE IN HIS CAR? WELL, YOU
JUST MF UP THE MOBILE OPERATOR BY GOING KP-(AREA CODE)-11521-ST.
AGAIN, REMEMBER THAT WHENEVER YOU TALK TO ONE OF THE OPERATORS, THEY
HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING WHETHER YOU ARE A REAL OPERATOR OR NOT SO GIVE
THEM HELL AND DON'T BE SCARED! I GUESS THAT THIS IS ALL FOR NOW, BUT
IF YOU WOULD LIKE MORE INFORMATION, LEAVE E-MAIL BUT NO RUGGIES
PLEASE.
