are there any phreaks in here? (phreaks are people who build boxes and screw around with phone lines.) its really crazy.

I didn't know people still did that. That's some old stuff. Most of it won't work anymore on modern phone systems.

Ah, the good old days. When you could get free phone calls using just a little Captain Crunch whistle and a pay phone...
I think the guys who started Apple got a lot of the startup money from building and selling blue boxes or something. That brings me back...
