In this file interesting facts and some tidy tidbits of info about Ma Bell
|
||
which is quite interesting. First off, lets get a phew things straight, The
|
||
Phone Co. cannot trace your call or listen in on your call as a 3rd party
|
||
unless a special court order is given. Once this court order is given and if
|
||
the info produced from this is not of that which was specified on the court
|
||
order, the officials will be prosecuted. To detect if your call is being
|
||
recorded, you can check for a short 1125hz beep every 15-17 seconds while you
|
||
are on-line. To find out if your line is "bugged" you can either dissasemble
|
||
your phone or trace your line back to the "surge protector", this is the green
|
||
box in your neighborhood that has all the people phone lines and check fo a 4x3
|
||
rectagular silver box or check for unusual hookups. Ok now on to better
|
||
things.
|
||
|
||
Two very spectacular new phone systems have been developed by BTC or Basic
|
||
Telecommunications Corperation that will most likely prove to be the most
|
||
incredible network a fone-freak has ever used. It is called DataVoice and for
|
||
a quick run-down, it will enable you to transmit voice or computerized messages
|
||
to other people on a special frequency and will be transalted and played back
|
||
in voice mode. This can be very handy. The Ultimate phone line has been
|
||
designed by ISDN or Integrated Services Digital Network. The theory behind
|
||
this telcom line of the future is that all communications,voice,data and even
|
||
video, yes video will be sent to your home through sort of an electronic
|
||
pipeline. The features of this wonder line is the following:
|
||
|
||
1) Interactive Data and electronic mail
|
||
2) Security and fire alarms
|
||
3) Facsimile Transmissions
|
||
|
||
What all this means is that you will be able to go to a hardware store, buy
|
||
any equipment you need and hook it directly into the pipeline.
|
||
|
||
Also at the present time in Germany, The Federal Post Office (our equivilent
|
||
of Ma Bell) has installed a system call "Bigfon" This will give subscribers
|
||
unlimited access to such services as Picturephone, Interactive Video and
|
||
videotext, Telex and a variety of radio and television programs. Also by 1988,
|
||
the nifty little gizmo that gives an operator an led readout on an originating
|
||
location when a person-to-person call is placed, will be available to the
|
||
public for a little under 1,000$.
|
||
|
||
A very neet little gizmo has also been made available to the public called a
|
||
PSE or Psychological Stress Evaluator. The way it works is say for instance
|
||
you call your boss and say, Hey boss i'm sick, he waits about 45 seconds and
|
||
comes back and says, Listen xxx i know you are not sick, if you need the day
|
||
off go ahead! Shocking eh?, well it's true! The military devel- oped this
|
||
wonder system during the Vietnam war and worked the same way as a lie detector
|
||
except the PSE will work over the phone! When it is available you can buy it
|
||
in sizes ranging from a compact cigarette model to a suitcase model all ranging
|
||
in price from a phew hundred $ to a phew grand!
|
||
|
||
Now for a realy awesome inovation! A company called AirFone Inc. has
|
||
replaced the old Inmarsat to call airplanes and have developed a system that
|
||
you can call direct from and to an airplane! The old Inmarsat system required
|
||
a dialing format like this:
|
||
|
||
Dial the international access coe+ocean code+7 digit ship #+ the '#' sysmbol
|
||
or 011+871+7 digits ship number + the '#' key.
|
||
|
||
As you can see this is very complicated and usually takes about a minute to
|
||
complete your call which is also usually fuzzy and staticy. Well the AirFone
|
||
system has developed a new transmit- ting system with the help of the mother of
|
||
course and has made it where you insert your credit card (safe from phreaks!)
|
||
then pick up the phone and dial the # you want just like a normal direct call.
|
||
The rates are as follows. (note: this is for any location in any part of the
|
||
world!)
|
||
|
||
7.50$ for the first 3 minutes then 1.25$ for each additional minute.
|
||
|
||
If you are one of the Millions of americans who own a police scanner you can
|
||
have some phun, you can listen in on police,fire calls, yeah big deal? well
|
||
you can also listen in on r&r operators and bell servicmen, and linemen. Here
|
||
are the frequencies:
|
||
|
||
151.985 (most common),35.16, 42.16 (mobile), 158.34, 451.175-
|
||
451.275, 451.3-451.675, 456.175-456.275 (mobile),
|
||
456.300-456-675 (mobile) 462.475, 462.525, 467.475 (mobile),
|
||
467.525 (mobile).
|
||
|
||
Ready for this, you can even eavesdrop on calls that use the conventional
|
||
mobile phone service, try these frequencies:
|
||
|
||
158/07-158.49 for mobiles, 152.81-153.03 for base stations.
|
||
All of these frequencies are in Mega-Hertz or Mhz, remember it
|
||
is against the law to divulge the contents of any conversations
|
||
you may hear, but it is ok to listen.
|
||
|
||
Now for the finally (Courtesy of Tap), for all you people who have heard
|
||
that you can blue box with a TI-99, look no more, here is the way to do it:
|
||
|
||
|
||
Here is what The new England Archivist got when he tested:
|
||
|
||
What he wanted: What he got:
|
||
--------------- ------------
|
||
110 110.0 (the lowest possible frequency)
|
||
697 699.1
|
||
700 699.1
|
||
852 853.9
|
||
900 902.1
|
||
941 940.0
|
||
1000 998.7
|
||
1100 1096.7
|
||
1200 1202.8
|
||
1209 1202.8
|
||
1210 1215.9
|
||
1300 1300.7
|
||
1336 1331.6
|
||
1477 1471.8
|
||
1500 1491.5
|
||
1633 1645.0
|
||
1700 1694.9
|
||
2000 1997.9
|
||
2200 2193.4
|
||
2600 2601.4
|
||
3200 3995.0
|
||
44,733 32,286.6 (the highest possible)
|
||
|
||
These sounds are generated by a call sound routine, the call sound routine
|
||
taked about 32 milliseconds to get going. Since the pulses for a fuzz (red)
|
||
box are as so, we can do the following:
|
||
|
||
Quarter: 35ms on 35 off 5x. then by leaving a 34ms space between the
|
||
pulses we can execute the following program:.
|
||
|
||
10 FOR I=1 TO 5
|
||
20 CALL SOUND (35,1700,0,2200,0)
|
||
30 NEXT I
|
||
|
||
The 35 is the duration in ms, 1700 and 2200 are the mf frequencies and the
|
||
zeros are the volume for each tone. (0 is the loudest, 30 is the quietest).
|
||
For auto-dialing a duration of about 100ms seemed to work well. I could go
|
||
into detail on this and quote The New england Archivist but maybe not much
|
||
interest is shown, if it is write to:
