After a long night of hacking and phreaking, you want to sleep. You
|
|
certainly don't want to be interrupted by anyone. And nothing is worse than
|
|
being awoken by a ringing telephone. I had to think of a way to turn off
|
|
the telephone line in my house. I needed a way to make it really simple,
|
|
but effective. The technology was alreadt there, but it needed a little
|
|
modifications. Here now is the modified busy box, or 'sleep box'.
|
|
|
|
What you will need:
|
|
|
|
Push-On/Push-Off (SPST) Button
|
|
LED
|
|
Coupler
|
|
Phone Wire
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Procedure:
|
|
|
|
First of all, attatch the coupler to the wall jack. You can use a normal
|
|
telephone cord for this.
|
|
Then, attach one of the LED terminals to the button.
|
|
Take a piece of telephone wire. Plug one end into the telephone you wich to
|
|
use, and strip the other end. You will see a red, green, yellow and black
|
|
wire. You will only use the red and green wires.
|
|
attach the LED terminal to the red wire, and attach the button connector to
|
|
the green wire. Then attach the red wire and LED terminal to the red wire
|
|
in the coupler, and attach the green wire and button connector to the green
|
|
wire in the coupler.
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
|
|
When the sleep box is not turned on, the LED is not on, and the telephone
|
|
line is clear. When you turn on the sleep box by pushing the button, the
|
|
LED will turn on, indication that the line is not reachable. When the sleep
|
|
box is on, you can not make calls out either, remember this. I like to turn
|
|
mine on before I go to sleep, and I turn it off in the morning.
|

|
Sweet dreams!
