(names edited out) 9:00pm - [Avatar] arrives at my house. late as usual. he was supposed to be here at 7:00. he informs me that he brought the stanley knife and the toolkit. 9:30pm - My printer is fixed. we decide to login and see whats happenin on the net.logged on to IRC and talked to some friends for a little while. long while. 10:30pm - [Avatar] checks in my room to see that i have been taking good care of our beige box. We discuss plans for the night. 10:45pm - My father arrives home from wherever the hell he went. 11:00pm - Me and [Avatar] talk about how the fone system works. He explains to me why our black box doesnt work by showing what old anologue exchanges were like compared to new digital ones. 11:30pm - Enlightenment is achieved. I do not have a good knowledge of electronics which is part of the problem. so he explains some to me and we talk about wave forms n shit. 12:00am - coast is clear. we sneak out of the house. we walk down the road to the can thats lid isnt locked down. cant get it off. 12:15am - We realise that we have forgotten to bring some fone numbers with us. I run back and sneak back in and get them. 12:30am - My dog escapes. i sneak back in and lock her up. We then go wandering around looking for pits. 1:30am - We finally find a good pit. But we lost the fuckn numbers again!! i run back and sneak in and get them again. 1:45am - We lift the pit lid with our metal lifters. [Avatar] then gets out his stanley knife and strips the wire coating carefully. [Avatar] manages to strip the coating with all the wires still intact. we then attach the alligator clips. 2:00am - We have a dialtone! we quickly dial the number that tells us where we are dialing from. now we are ready for fun ;) 2:10am - We quickly decide on who to ring. we dial the long number. it rings. a deep voice answers. It is |Banshee| heheh, now was he shocked or what???? :) Me and [Avatar] have a brief word with [|Banshee|] to see how hes goin n stuff. the brief word lasts about one and a half hours heheheheheheheehheheheh. From this converation i learnt: hes really cool (already knew that) he doesnt have to do jack shit till september!!! hes finding linux easy. Americans use Faranheit, and inches and feet. He learnt: Australains dont wear alligator skin suits. There are cops in Australia. We use the metric system. Crocodiles dont roam the streets. I dont personally know crocodile dundee. 4:00am - We go and get some food from the local service station and discuss our success. 4:??am - We get home... end of story. For those who read this and arent into phreaking, i really urge you to learn about it. its _REAL_ cool! this was not our first phreaking experince but definitely the best one! ;) l8r Lord Duke ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lord Duke duke@sinnerz.com
