1. Introduction
|
|
|
|
Issue two and we're still trying to figure out who the hell we are.
|
|
What do we have, Hmmm. The first article I put in this issue is an except
|
|
on ISDN. I was going to write an article on the basics and ideals behind it
|
|
but found this to be better than what I could write. So it's here. I'm also
|
|
curious as to where this file is getting out to. If you would be so kind as
|
|
to drop me a note via Internet at ab200@osfn.rhilinet.gov and tell me where
|
|
you've found it, I'd be more than appreciative and will put a little thanks
|
|
to you in the next issue.
|
|
|
|
Reverend Weasel is working on an ongoing fictional story, the first
|
|
part of which debuts in this issue. Great. Just what you've all been waiting
|
|
for. You can figure out what the rest of the issue is about, it's not that
|
|
hard as long as you can read. Anyway, I don't want to make this introduction
|
|
very long. So ...
|
|
|
|
Oh yeah, it's my birthday on the 5th of October. Send me money
|
|
or something if you've got any extra. *Smirk*

2. Overview / Introduction to ISDN
|
|
|
|
Engineers and planners in telecommunications look forward to a time
|
|
in the near future when telephone, computer, FACSIMILE (FAX), television, and
|
|
even mail will be linked together in a single electronic system, which has
|
|
been named the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN). ISDN is an
|
|
evolving system of international standards that will eventually provide
|
|
high-speed digital voice and data transmission over existing telephone wiring.
|
|
|
|
The first vital step toward the actualization of an ISDN system is the
|
|
digitization of telephone systems, beginning with telephone switching
|
|
circuits, the units at central exchanges that connect telephone lines,
|
|
routing incoming calls from line to line or from a line to a link with
|
|
another central exchange. Although the job of converting to digital
|
|
switching was begun as early as the 1960s in some large central exchanges
|
|
in the United States, most exchanges still use electromechanical switching
|
|
devices. In addition, the telephone itself will have to be adapted to
|
|
receive and send digitally, rather than in the analog mode it uses today.
|
|
|
|
With a digitized telephone service, the telecommunications possibilities
|
|
are enormous. They range from a continuation of conventional telephoning
|
|
(although digitization should reproduce spoken messages with a sound
|
|
quality much closer to the actual voice) to a countrywide and worldwide
|
|
transmission systems capable of communicating almost instantly.
|
|
|
|
An ISDN interface with a single user begins with a digitized telephone,
|
|
and includes a computer, television monitor and controls, and a FAX-all
|
|
connected by a single telephone wire to an ISDN central exchange. In
|
|
place of the MODEM now used to convert digital to analog signals, a
|
|
terminal adapter will connect the computer with the telephone system.
|
|
With the adapter, multiple simultaneous connections become possible:
|
|
computers can run several tasks at the same time, while the user exchanges
|
|
voice and computer data with other users and other computers.
|
|
|
|
ISDN capabilities should eventually include the interconnection through
|
|
the public telephone system of Local Area Networks (LANs)--the private,
|
|
interoffice systems that already exist to link together electronics within
|
|
an office or within a building. It will provide information and database
|
|
services, electronic mail, video services, interactive services such as
|
|
catalog shopping; FAX systems; building and home security systems, and
|
|
other electronic marvels, such as real-time video, the long-awaited
|
|
videophone that transmits live video images via telephone.

3. The Erotichron
|
|
|
|
I first heard of the erotichron one evening as we sipped brandies in his study
|
|
at 24 Charendon Place. It was an old house, from the time of George IV, and
|
|
while comfortable, it had that enormous scale that made one feel tiny and
|
|
intimidated. Professor Denby had taken some of the old servants quarters and
|
|
turned them into a very pleasant study/library, with lowered ceilings and
|
|
packed with shelves of scientific publications and notebooks. We sat before a
|
|
small fire, in great wing-backed chairs and spent the evening telling lies and
|
|
remembering old school chums.
|
|
|
|
"What of Ponsonby?"
|
|
|
|
"Oh, terrible news. He's been gaoled, you know. It was him behind the
|
|
collapse of the Great Atlantic Bank."
|
|
|
|
"Fitzwaring?"
|
|
|
|
"Afghanistan, I think. He's a full Colonel in one of the Lancer regiments.
|
|
16th? Damned if I can remember."
|
|
|
|
"I suppose you've no word of Yeovil-Deane?"
|
|
|
|
"Ah, yes, he was spotted in the Sudan two years ago. Since then, nothing."
|
|
|
|
And so it went for the whole evening, cigars, brandy, catching up on the state
|
|
of our former friends, now only names with a hint of memory and history behind
|
|
them. His man Bridgeton came in a bit later with a carafe of strong coffee
|
|
and some brioche.
|
|
|
|
"Frightful business about Nedley and that choir boy, eh? One would think a
|
|
bishop would have a bit more discretion. You remember him at school, I
|
|
suppose? Quite insistent. Had to beat him off with a stick, and more than
|
|
once."
|
|
|
|
I thought you were fond of Nedley?"
|
|
|
|
"Well afterwards, yes. He had amazing talents. I sometimes regret ever
|
|
marrying, but after he took Holy Orders, it hardly seemed worth pursuing, if
|
|
you know what I mean. I suspect even now that he deliberately hid my staff to
|
|
deprive me of my advantage over him. Can't say as I particularly regret it
|
|
though."
|
|
|
|
"I understand you've taken some time off from the college..."
|
|
|
|
"Oh yes, the erotichron project. Very....involved. Say, old top, why don't
|
|
you stop round for supper say...next Thursday. We can look the project over.
|
|
I think you'll find it amusing, if not fascinating."
|
|
|
|
I alighted at Charing Cross all in a rush and found a growler free outside on
|
|
The Strand and made straightways for Charendon Court. I had stayed later than
|
|
I had intended undertaking some research in the crypts at Canterbury, and as a
|
|
result, had no time to freshen myself or change for a proper dinner.
|
|
Fortunately, when I arrived, Denby brought me immediately to his study, giving
|
|
me to understand that his wife Augusta was at the opera this evening and we
|
|
would be dining informally, very informally indeed.
|
|
|
|
Denby offered, and I gratefully accepted, a whiskey and tonic, and slightly
|
|
refreshed, I was able to do my host justice by assisting in demolishing a
|
|
plate of fresh sliced beef and bread still warm from the ovens. Simple but a
|
|
welcome repast made the more enchanting by my tiring journey by rail. Lord I
|
|
hate the Southeastern!
|
|
|
|
"I promised you know, a tour of the laboratory and a view of the machine.
|
|
However, I thought it best to acquaint you with the general principals upon
|
|
which it is formed. You have, I suppose, noticed the unpleasant effects of
|
|
sex upon the English yeomanry, in fact upon all classes, and in full honesty,
|
|
also upon the actions and mien of the foreigner as well."
|
|
|
|
"I hardly think that the fair sex is the impediment you suggest...", I began.
|
|
|
|
"Oh, no, you misapprise me. It is not the fair sex, nor indeed any other sex,
|
|
but the concept of sex itself which threatens the fabric of modern society.
|
|
In the past we could put it down to the barbarism of the times. Man was
|
|
primitive, naturally ruled by his passions. It was entirely to be expected
|
|
that he would take what he wanted and utilize the slash or cosh to enforce his
|
|
will. But today we are in a modern society, founded on logic, and embraced by
|
|
and embracing the fullness and wonder of technology. How appalling to slip
|
|
back into man's age of shame and degradation. Is there not a way to do away
|
|
with this? A manner in which moral behavior can be fostered, and its
|
|
antithesis discouraged?"
|
|
|
|
"I can certainly understand your impulse towards the improvement of man, but
|
|
can it be that all of man's fault is directly attributable to sex?"
|
|
|
|
"Ah, a dreamer. You want to be a virgin, yet caress your lover too, and
|
|
probably incessantly. It is a pretty conceit, but yes all that is wrong and
|
|
noxious in our society is usually directly traceable to the evils of sex.
|
|
What is not most often is a secondary or even tertiary result of it. With our
|
|
learning, our knowledge, or mechanic mastery, what a world we could have if it
|
|
were not for our baser nature."
|
|
|
|
"Is that then the aim of your machine, to remove the sexual drive or
|
|
apparatus? Gelding us?"
|
|
|
|
"Hardly. I envision a prosthetic device which will indeed free man of the
|
|
evils of sex, without recourse to disturbing the natural drives, or
|
|
dismembering the physical apparatus. Satiety, that is the answer."
|
|
|
|
"Satiety?"
|
|
|
|
"Absolutely. The erotichron's only purpose is to provide as much of a sexual
|
|
quotient as may be necessary to give man or woman a fullness of experience.
|
|
Having been treated on the machine, they will no longer have sexual desire,
|
|
not because it is thwarted, or twisted or denied, but because it is fulfilled.
|
|
Entirely. Totally. To whatever extent the individual may want or need."
|
|
|
|
And so it began. Each Thursday evening I would repair to Denby's lodgings in
|
|
Charendon Court, and there, always with his wife Augusta absent, he would
|
|
discuss with me a bit more of the erotichron, but never for long, and always
|
|
interspersed with reminisces of friends and past work, questions on my
|
|
investigations of Lanfranc's possibly apochryphal diary at Canterbury or the
|
|
status of the search for burial chambers at Glastonbury.
|
|
|
|
It was over a month after we began our meetings that Denby broke a
|
|
particularly long after dinner silence.
|
|
|
|
"Well, that's it then. You must see The Machine." Getting up, he saw to it
|
|
that we both had a fine snifter of sherry, and then lead me through a
|
|
concealed passage in the book shelving to a narrow spiral stair that lead
|
|
downwards, more than the three stories of the house to chambers deep below the
|
|
surrounding streets.
|
|
|
|
Pausing before a locked door, he turned and said to me, in the greatest
|
|
earnestness, "I do hope you will exercise the greatest discretion about this.
|
|
The world is really not ready for a discovery of this type, and we have so
|
|
much, so very much work to do to perfect the workings of the machine before we
|
|
can even begin to reveal its nature."
|
|
|
|
The door swung slowly open, and Denby lit the gas lamps. The erotichron
|
|
glistened softly in the corner, shaped much like a confessional, bound in
|
|
polished brass, its walls apparently covered in soft black leather. The
|
|
entrance door seemed carved St. Jago mahogany, equipped with a small wheel,
|
|
which must have functioned as a door handle. Upon the top were a number of
|
|
light blue glass insulators, with wires which ran to a large bank of
|
|
electrical switches, relays and tubes. It was nearly as large as the
|
|
erotichron chamber itself.
|
|
|
|
I was fascinated by the controls, the voltage and amperage indicators, the
|
|
great induction coils and canopy switches.
|
|
|
|
"I have," he said, "been in touch with Tesla about some of the circuits. He's
|
|
made a number of suggestions which have simplified the layout, and, I think,
|
|
even decreased my power requirements. He's absolutely brilliant you know, but
|
|
mad. Quite mad."
|
|
|
|
"Have you had occasion to use it yet?", I asked.
|
|
|
|
"No, I've been quite too engaged with testing the circuits and adjusting the
|
|
venires. I have thought carefully about it however, and I believe it best to
|
|
medicate the patient before exposing him to the action of the machine. You
|
|
remember Childers, don't you? Held some sort of medical post under Gordon, I
|
|
recall. The fellow went off on a long expedition to the upper reaches of the
|
|
Nile. Sent me some most intriguing plants he found growing near Ghondakhora.
|
|
Perfectly amazing qualities. I've cultivated some of the seeds in the
|
|
greenhouses and I now have a workable and reliable supply. It's very powerful,
|
|
but I've been able to produce a iatrophallic compound
|
|
which I believe will potentiate the ministrations of the current."
|
|
"I should have thought he perished at Khartoum..."
|
|
|
|
"Fortunately for Childers, he was away when all the nasty stuff went on, and
|
|
he was able to slip back to Cairo without attracting the Mahdi's attention.
|
|
Damn close shave if you ask me."
|
|
|
|
"Childers always did have a fine sense of survival. Wasn't he the one that
|
|
avoided expulsion by sleeping with the prefect?"
|
|
|
|
"Well, it was said, but I don't think anyone knew for sure. Can't put much
|
|
stock in rubbish like that anyway. People tend to have evil tongues."
|
|
|
|
It was raining heavily, and for once there was not a cab to be had, not even a
|
|
growler. I stalked through the streets in a high dudgeon, thoroughly
|
|
disgusted, cursing every one that came to mind - my host, the moshers, the
|
|
weather gods, Lilith the barmaid at the Pig and Whistle, the Prime Minister,
|
|
the Labour Party. Eventually, I made my way to Charendon Court, thoroughly
|
|
soaked, chilled, my brolly turned half inside out by the wind.
|
|
|
|
Denby met me at the door. "My boy, you look a sight! Come up and have a hot
|
|
toddy, you'll catch your death out there tonight."
|
|
|
|
We hurried down the hall, and looking into the kitchen, I caught a glimpse of
|
|
a young man and a boy disporting themselves in a most intimate and unseemly
|
|
manner. Denby spotted the look of distaste on my face and whispered, "I must
|
|
talk to you about this. Hush!"
|
|
|
|
In his study I was soon treated to a delicious steaming toddy. It nearly
|
|
seemed worth getting drenched for. Denby fixed another for himself and set
|
|
down, a distant, concerned look upon his face.
|
|
|
|
"There are...problems."
|
|
|
|
"How so?"
|
|
|
|
"You noticed Mr. Athanagoras and the beggar boy in the kitchen?"
|
|
|
|
"A shocking display."
|
|
|
|
"Yes, they are disturbingly free about it, aren't they?"
|
|
|
|
"It's quite monstrous, a crime against..."
|
|
|
|
"Nature. Yes, I know. Try not to be so tedious. Mr. Athanagoras was my
|
|
first volunteer. The results are not quite as I had anticipated."
|
|
|
|
"What seems to be the problem?"
|
|
|
|
"I'm not sure yet. I gave our friend an injection, then placed him in the
|
|
machine for 15 minutes. The result is as you see. When I found them together
|
|
the next day, I gave the boy a similar procedure. They have been obscenely
|
|
inseparable since. I can't help but admire their endurance, but they will do it anywhere.
|
|
I found them in the drawing room in flagrante this morning, with the vicar due
|
|
at any moment. That would surely be all I would need."
|
|
|
|
"Yes, it would scandalise the clergy without doubt."
|
|
|
|
"Scandalise? Rev. Smythe-Henderson would have joined them in a minute. I
|
|
don't fancy an interdenominational orgy in the front parlour! Athanagoras is
|
|
Greek Orthodox, have you no sense of decency, man?"
|
|
|
|
"What are you going to do?"
|
|
|
|
"Certain...ethical considerations have arisen. Mr. Athangoras and the boy are
|
|
delighted with the results of the treatment. On the other hand, Mr.
|
|
Athanagoras has left his wife, and she is distressed. I've been consoling her,
|
|
and we seem to hit it off exceptionally well."
|
|
|
|
"Surely you have an obligation to restore matters to their original status?"
|
|
|
|
"Yes, in theory, at least. But in practice? I don't know if I can restore
|
|
Mr. Athanagoras to the way he was before, or if I should succeed, whether it
|
|
would in any way improve the situation. Mr. Athangoras is deliriously happy
|
|
with matters as they presently stand. Little Frederick is also extremely
|
|
pleased with the status quo. I'm not at all sure Mrs. Athanagoras would
|
|
accept him back. Beyond that, The two of us have become rather ...er...
|
|
intimate friends. If I accept I have a moral obligation to return things
|
|
to the way they were, I stand an excellent chance of ruining four lives.
|
|
I'm rather damned if I do, and damned again if I don't."

4. Insight into the word of Portable / Cordless Phones
|
|
|
|
Aren't you glad you got your parents that new Cordless?
|
|
Don't you wish you did?
|
|
|
|
Going into this article I thought that everyone knew you
|
|
could listen to cordless phones from pretty much any scanner. I
|
|
found out this was untrue.
|
|
|
|
This method is as far as I know completly legal. A few
|
|
years back I was into Citezen's Band heavily, and everyone had
|
|
scanners. I bought one to check out the police, and fire
|
|
situation, then I found out you could use one legally to listen
|
|
to cordless telephone conversations.
|
|
|
|
All of the info here comes mainly from what I found out
|
|
from reading manuals, and scanning the bands. Just recently I
|
|
found out that Police Call, a radio shack published book, had the
|
|
complete listing that you will see here in this article. Originally
|
|
I had thought that there were select frequencies between 46.000
|
|
and 49.999. Come to find out, I was not too far off. In fact
|
|
there are about 20 channels, 10 for the base, and 10 for the
|
|
handset. In other words there are ONLY 10 channels that an ordinary
|
|
cordless could possibly be on. The handset has 10, and the base has
|
|
10. So, with the list below, you could have some fun.
|
|
|
|
Handset Base
|
|
46.61 <1> 49.67 <1>
|
|
46.63 <2> 49.77 <4>
|
|
46.67 <3> 49.83 <6>
|
|
46.71 <4> 49.845 <2>
|
|
46.73 <5> 49.86 <3>
|
|
46.77 <6> 49.875 <5>
|
|
46.83 <7> 49.89 <7>
|
|
46.87 <8> 49.93 <8>
|
|
46.93 <9> 49.97 <10>
|
|
46.97 <10> 49.99 <9>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now, you are probably asking, so what? Isn't it illegal to
|
|
do this now, and isn't everyone going into 900mhz range? Not
|
|
true, most cordless phones on the market are still using these 20
|
|
frequencies for their phones. Sure, they have methods of
|
|
blocking other people from making calls on your phone, by using
|
|
65,535 possible codes to connect the handset to the base through
|
|
these frequencies. However, there are only a few companies that
|
|
are actualy scrambling them. You can still listen to most
|
|
cordless phones!!!
|
|
|
|
I have a Motorola Secure Clear phone. This one actually
|
|
does a type of scrambling on the line so no one can understand it
|
|
if they intercept your precious communications. This probably
|
|
can be averted, however, I am not going to pull apart my 130
|
|
dollar phone to try to find out how. Though it would be a neat
|
|
hack.
|
|
|
|
So, what are practical uses for this "technology"? Well,
|
|
you could use it for a variety of reasons. You could listen to
|
|
your neighbor Pete, or Ginny across the street. However, I have
|
|
found this boring and not very useful. Though, if you suddenly
|
|
had a nice streak and bought your parents a new cordless, a nice
|
|
one, but not encoded. In fact most of these phones have what
|
|
channels they are on on a sticker ON them. This is useful if you
|
|
happen into a neighbors house. You could easily find out some useful
|
|
things. Let's say you came home after fire-bombing your
|
|
principle's office, and you are not sure if maybe that is him on
|
|
the phone. You could jump out the window and get as far away as
|
|
possible, but if it isn't him, why? Also, many people you know
|
|
may leak some interesting things through that you could use to
|
|
for lack of a better expression, Black mail em. Your sister may
|
|
think Don is hot... Hell, your brother may think so. But, that isn't
|
|
really useful. What is is when your mother or father leak info.
|
|
Say they are having an affair. Hey, it never hurts to have extra cash.
|
|
Heck, maybe you could get a car out of it...
|
|
|
|
The moral of this story is, if you spend just a little on your
|
|
"freinds" you could get much more back in return.

5. TELNET - Everything you wanted to know... And more.
|
|
|
|
The following is a listing of telnet ports and their uses.
|
|
Users may take particular interst in ports 11 (users), 25 (mail),
|
|
101 (hostname), 513 (whod), 515 (spooler), 531 (chat), 1023 (old
|
|
finger), and 2003 (new finger). Most of the ports are of little use

|
for any parctical manual application, as they require more than a
|
|
simple connect to be of any real use.
|
|
|
|
Ports may vary from system to system. Most UNIX systems will
|
|
have a listing of ports in the file /etc/services so you may want to
|
|
check your own listing.
|
|
|
|
If you have any questions as to what any of the ports do, send
|
|
netmail to ed@gnu.ai.mit.edu or two@tmok.res.wpi.edu and I'll do my best
|
|
to explain what the port in question does. Likewise, if you happen upon
|
|
an interesting use for a port, send me mail and pass that information
|
|
along.
|
|
|
|
This listing was obtained from the gnu.ai.mit.edu machines.

|
Special thanks go out to tami@gnu.ai.mit.edu for pointing me in the
|
|
right dirrection.

6. Briding Heads. Nothing to do with crossing rivers OR oral sex.
|
|
|
|
Briding head. What the hell is a briding head? To put it simply, they
|
|
are those big green boxes you see along side the road. They act as a sort
|
|
of "demarcation" point for your local telephone company. They are used to
|
|
connect and troubleshoot individual "pairs" of wires going to subscribers
|
|
homes or businesses. There are a few layouts in these boxes, but we'll
|
|
cover what you need to know. (For informational and educational purposes
|
|
only, of course).
|
|
|
|
To start, I live in Rhode Island, the way things are up here may not
|
|
be the exact same as where you are, but with the general insight and
|
|
knowledge that you'll gain from this file, you'll be able to figure
|
|
them out.
|
|
|
|
What can you do once you've obtained access to a briding head? Well,
|
|
first and foremost, you can get arrested and thrown in jail for a
|
|
variety of charges, none of which are pleasant. But if you DON'T get
|
|
caught... You can eavesdrop on phone conversations, make free phone
|
|
calls from the B.H., switch lines around, etc. Things you should bring
|
|
with you are; a 5/16" socket and ratchet (bring a whole set of sockets
|
|
just in case they're using a different size where you are), a crowbar (in
|
|
case they're using something other than a standard bolt to lock the door
|
|
shut), a flathead screwdriver, a beige box (a telephone with the plug cut
|
|
off and alligator clips on the red and green wires in the place of the
|
|
normal RJ11 plug), wire strippers, dark clothing.
|
|
|
|
Entry: As stated above, the BHs' around here are locked with a 5/16"
|
|
bolt that is set in a recessed socket. Pretty basic to get open with a
|
|
correct sized socket and ratchet. If that doesn't work, put the crowbar
|
|
behind the latch and pry the damn thing off, they're not THAT strong.
|
|
I guess I should also state (for those people with a poor sense of the
|
|
obvious) that you should find a BH that is in a fairly remote area. IE:
|
|
dead end street, etc. Once you're in, you're ready for the next step.
|
|
|
|
Figuring it out: You'll see rows and rows of "Screws" with purple and
|
|
white wires coming off of them. The purple is the equivilent of the "ring"
|
|
or red wire on your phone, the white is the "tip" or green wire of your
|
|
phone. Some briding heads have even rows of screws with white and purple
|
|
alongside each other. Some are set diagonally. Either way, you need to
|
|
connect to a pair. Looking at the rows of screws, and using some logic,
|
|
you can figure out how the "pairs" are arranged. Touch your alligator clips
|
|
to a set of purple and white screws and you should get a dial tone. If you
|
|
don't, try another pair. Some of the smaller BHs have what are called
|
|
"split-50 block" in them. They are white plastic blocks with four or six
|
|
rows of pins running down them. In this case, the left hand TWO columns
|
|
(going up and down) are the "in" side of the block, the right hand TWO
|
|
columns are the "out" side of the block. Look at the below diagram
|
|
to help you figure this one out. The letters represent pins and will be
|
|
explained momentarily..
|
|
|
|
|
|
AA BB CC DD
|
|
EE FF GG HH
|
|
II JJ KK LL
|
|
MM NN OO PP
|
|
.. .. .. .. <This continues right down the block>
|
|
|
|
Each pair of letters represents a pin on the block. AA and BB are
|
|
connected or otherwise called "common" to each other. CC and DD are
|
|
also common to each other. The same applies to EE-FF, GG-HH and so on
|
|
right down the block. In this case, to grab a pair, you would want
|
|
to connect to the AA and EE pins, or II and MM pins, and so on, or you
|
|
could connect to the other side, the DD and HH, or LL and PP. Since
|
|
AA is connected to BB, you could plug in to BB-FF, or JJ-NN. You get
|
|
the point (I hope). There should be metal clips attached to the center
|
|
sets of pins on all the active wire pairs. BB and CC would have a clip,
|
|
FF and GG would have a clip. These clips join the left half of the
|
|
block with the right half of the block. If you see a row with no clip,
|
|
then there is most likely no service on that pair of wires.
|
|
|
|
Now What: I've given you enough information to figure out what to do
|
|
next. But there are some other ideas as well. If you're into Alliance
|
|
teleconferencing (dial 0-700-456-1000 and check it out) you can start an
|
|
alliance on someone elses wire pair easy enough and play with that. One
|
|
little idea that's a little more complicated is routing your OWN phone at
|
|
your home through someone elses line. This is a goodie, but really
|
|
risky if you arn't careful. First, pick up a tone tracer and an inductive
|
|
amplifier at a local telephone/electronics store. They'll know what you're
|
|
talking about if you tell them you need the stuff for phones. They run
|
|
about $35-50 each depending where you go, so you'll need $100. Connect
|
|
the tone tracer to the network interface outside your house (to the red
|
|
and green wires) and turn the switch on the tracer to "tone". Take
|
|
the inductive amp and hold the button and move it near the tracer and
|
|
listen to the warble tone it'll be making. Next; go to the CLOSEST
|
|
bridging head to your home, open it. Run the amplifier up and down the
|
|
pairs until you pick up that tone once again. Find the pair that carries
|
|
the STRONGEST signal from the tracer and mark it. Remove the wires connceted
|
|
to the screws and find out which set (there'll be two white and two
|
|
purple) has the tone still on it. This is the set that goes right to your
|
|
house, the other set goes to the telco. Mark these wires as well. Go back
|
|
home and remove the tone tracer from your line. Once back at the briding
|
|
head find the set of wires that goes to your HOUSE. Make sure these are
|
|
removed from the screws and put jumpers on them to ANOTHER pair in the
|
|
briding head. Go back home and dial some sort of ANI to find out what
|
|
number you're now connected to. 200-444-4444 works for this purpose in
|
|
my area. As long as you've got a different number, everythings worked
|
|
fine. If not, or your line is dead, go back and check all the connections
|
|
you've made. DON'T FORGET TO PUT THE WIRES BACK WHERE THEY BELONG WHEN
|
|
YOU'RE DONE! You'll get fucked if you forget.
|
|
|
|
Tidbits: Telephone wire is pretty thin and pretty sharp. Wear some tight
|
|
fitting gloves or something to prevent your fingers from getting stabbed.
|
|
It tends to hurt. It'll also prevent fingerprints!
|
|
|
|
That's all you need to know. For heavens sake, don't go trying it
|
|
just because I told you about it. I wrote this for.... Informational
|
|
purposes only, of course.
