Every day, theft of utility service occurs with or without the knowledge of the utility service providers.
Thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars are lost each day due to illegal power consumption. Most
of the public does not know how wide-spread this type of theft IS and how it effects them in the long run....and
NOW, for that matter. Did YOU realize that the. power companies don't "eat" the cost of lost revenue caused
by this type of theft? Do you know who DOES "eat" it? YOU DO! That's right! The power companies pass
along the higher costs to you, the paying customers. It's hard for power companies to stop this theft from
happening simply because the equipment used is OLD in most areas, plus this type of service is difficult to
monitor, as it is. Statistics show that theft of electricity is higher in single family houses rather than apartment
buildings - probably because power meters are located on the property of homes and neighbors are less likely
to SEE tampering of the power meters. If a power company happens to discover someone gaining illegal
access to power, it's usually VERY hard for the said power company to prosecute the person(s) involved..
Most of the evidence is highly circumstantial and hard to really prove, even if it appears obvious that someone
is stealing electricity. No matter what the warnings say, it's EASY to steal electricity! Why should the power
company care, anyway ? They don't lose any money. YOU DO! Look at y our bill, sometime........Surprise!!

On the Cover:
It's amazing that nothing is really being done to stop this type of theft . Actually, in some areas, the power
companies are using new up-to-date meters which does help scare off some would-be powers thieves , but it
doesn 't effect the whole scope of this theft rampage very much. It's too easy to steal and it's such a wanted
item....FREE ELECTRICTY... Who likes to pay for it? It's not like you get to keep anything after paying for it..
It's an invisible thing that we pay very big bucks for.... Some people , who decide it's not worth PAYING for,
and learn just how easy it is to take without paying for, take the questionable route and live a paranoid life,
wondering if they 're going to get cauqht. , Chances are, if they did it right , they're not going to get caugh t.... for
months .. for years .... Hell, they 'll probably NEVER get caught. The ones who DO get caught are few in
comparison to the whole . Approx imately 2% to 3% get caught , and this is a small number , indeed! ...
This is good and bad. It's GOOD news to those of you who intend on (or are already) stealing power. It's bad
news to all of us who PAY for our electr icity. It means that our bills will get bigger and bigger over the years .
What can we do? Sit back and watch our money drain from our wallets? Well, that's about it. Either that or
steal some electr icity for yourse lf. Hah! The power companies use these little secur ity tamper "tags" on their
meters to figure out who has been tampering with the meters and who has not. Well , the tags can be taken
off without damag ing them ....Surprise ! Plus, the tags can be bought...The power companies very RARELY
check to see if the tags have been tampered with or not.. You can even remove them and they won 't notice it
for YEARS, at times .. You don 't even have to remove the meter to steal power .. It can be tapped at a point
before the meter , the meter can be slowed down externally ....etc, etc, etc.. There 's too many ways to defeat
the meters and power companies . It's quite a shock for people when they learn the truth ! Isn't it? Nawww ..

QUESTION THE INFORMATION!!!
By D-CRyPT
You must question all knowledge you receive. Knowledge is a necessity today; just like oxygen or water. It
is brought to you in a variety of ways . Your phone, television and computer all act as routes information
travels into your house. By watching the news and entertainment you can get a pretty vivid portrait of what
society is today. You can see that our culture is obsessed with violence and negativity, etc. You get a lot of
the aspects of pop culture. You take all this information at huge rate every day. The media never stops
pounding you with ads and images. It's how you interpret the information that determines how you perceive
reality. In todays society many people have become vegetables that absorb any and everything the media
feeds them. Even worse - we don't seek out our info anymore. We just accept what information manages to
receive without expending any effort and then try to pretend the rest doesn't exist. People will read an article
on the hacker underground in Wired or a story on UFOs in Time magazine and assume they have the whole
story. WAKE UP BOYS AND GIRLS!! ! I realize that most people reading Blacklisted ! 411 aren't like this, but
do not become one of these people! You cannot assume you ever have an unbiased, complete story on any
topic in the world if the article or show or whatever was produced by a human. It simply is very difficult for
anyone to present information free of their own opinions. And they will most likely leave the things out they
would rather not print. So get the whole story! Get information from the REAL people; not a television t or
a print magazine. These are wonderful resources, but never rely on one source. Find real hackers (which
hopefully isn't too hard for most of you) if you are learning about hackers. Find people you can question and
disagree with about UFOs if you are learning about UFOs-not a silent sheet of paper. Magazines like
Blacklisted! 411, Steamshovel Press, 2600, etc. present a great forum for people to express their ideas
openly , say what they really want to say, not just to put down what sells-... People like Ben Franklin and Thomas Paine inspired enthusiasm for freedom before the
revolution. If we question our knowledge we will keep doors open. We will know how to do all sorts of things
and ultimately live better than people who have forgotten. We will make sure that people are allowed to
express how they really feel-not just some processed version of their true emotions. We are the modern day
pamphleteers, whether it be through print, television or any other type of media; if you voice what you say and
questions what others do, then you are helping!! So, remember, keep your eyes open and don't just plug into
the vegetable establishment !

This account was op n d v n y rs go with a Employer Identification 'Number (EIN) wh ich is a tax identification
number(TIN). Banks will Iw y In i t on you having a tax identification number which most of the time is your social secur ity
number(SSN) . It was open d bu In 5 savings account. This was Security Pacific Bank which was gobbled up by Bank
Amer ica. Last year I opened ch cklng ccount and used my savings account as a bank reference . \Nhen I opened up this
account, I opened it as a Citizon of th C lifornia Republic and claimed nonresident alien status for this account and declined
to give any Tax Identification Numb r, Th y opene d up the account but linked it to my savings account with my TIN from the
savings account.
In June 1994 I filed papers with th IRS declaring my status as a Citizen of the California RepUblic which is classified in the
Internal Revenue Code as a nonresid nt alien . I gave the IRS 30 days to refute my 8 pages of arguments and that if they failed
to respond or refute the specific points made that under their own law the U.,iform Commercial Code (UCC) my statements
will stand as truth and thereafter th Doctrine of Estoppel by Acquiescence will preva il. They have not responded, not in July
1994 or even now in 1995. In Augu st 1994 I mailed this declaration of State Citizen status along with a letter explaining that
since the IRS has failed to refute the argumen ts in the 8 page declaration that these argumen ts now stand as lawful truth .
I also submitted a we Certificate of Foreign Status and claimed the status of Nonresident Alien Individual and Exempt Foreign
Person status . This allows you to open a bank account without a social security number , or any other Tax Identif ication
Number. I also submitted a in lieu of we form that essent ially expands the we with more specific arguments . I ma iled the
Declaration, the we and expanded we and a letter expla ining all the above and gave them 30 days to accept or reject all of
the above and that failure to respond will mean you have accepted my status of nonres ident alien status and will remove my
TIN from my bank account or substitute my Nonres ident Alien Identification numbe r. \Nhen I submitted my declarat ion to the
IRS I scrambled my Employer Ident ification Number to make a 99 Nonres ident Alien number and told the IRS to check out this
number and see if it belonged to someone else and that failure to deny me this number within 30 days means I am free to use
this number as a Non-Resident Alien Identificati on Number (NRAI ).
They did not respond and therefore did not deny this number. I subm itted this num ber to Bank of America to replace my Tax
Identificat ion Number . I gave Bank of Amer ica 30 days to accept my NRAI num ber to replace my TIN number and that fa ilure
to respond or refute all of these points within 30 days will mean you have accepted my nonresident alien status and NRAI
number. I never heard from Bank of America and did nothing about it until this month Febru ary 1995 and went to the ban k in
person to inquire what my Tax Identifica tion Number was. The bank officer looked me up on the computer and saw no Tax
Identification Number, not even my NRAI number and looked worr ied, she thought there should be some numbe r there but
read further and looked relieved because the reason given for no num ber was I had the status of nonre sident alien status and
asked me if my status has changed and would I like to give a num ber now? She also told me this applied to both the savings
and checking accoun t. I said no it has not changed and thanked her for the information. Having a we account with no numbe r
is better than having a we account with a NRAI number, The outcome was better than I expected.
Trying to open a we bank account without a social security number is almost impossible because the bank officers and clerks
at the bank will not understand what you are talking about. If you try and fail to open a we account open it up the way they
want you to open it up give them your social security number and then amend your account through the mail. Here are the
steps to get your bank account without any Tax Identification Numbe r:
1. Start with a convent ional bank accou nt with a social security number .
2. Buy Vultures in Eagle's Clothing by Lynn Meridith, order your book through me for $42.95.
3. Submit your Declaration of Sovere ign status to the IRS and include a made up NRAI number and give them 30 days to
refute the points made and accept or reject your NRAI numb er and that failure to respond and refute and deny within 30 days

Subject : THE BASICS
Those of us who are studying law for the purpose of re-establishing our primary Citizenship of a state sometimes gei too far
ahead of everyone else, and we somehow assume that you are supposed to instantly know all of the legalese that it took us
months to figure out. Accordingly I am making this post to give people new to this issue some background. IN THE
BEGINNING.....of this country, July 4, 1776 ... thirteen colonies of the British Crown declared their independence. They
fought a long, costly, and bloody war, and the homegrown, homespun militias of the 13 colonies managed to beat the most
formidable military power on the planet at the time. The cause was just, and God raised up allies for us, including the French.
In 1783, at the end of the War for Independence, the 13 former colonies of the Crown WERE NOW 13 SOVEREIGN AND
INDEPENDENT NATIONS, EACH HAVING ITS OWN CITIZENS. They were a confederation, loosely knit.
In 1787, a convention was called to resolve the problems of the alliance of the 13, and the result was the Constitution. The
13 became a Federation. But, THEY WERE STILL 13 SOVEREIGN NATIONS, EACH WITH ITS OWN CITIZENS. LEGALLY
SPEAKING EACH OF THE SOVEREIGN NATIONS IN THE FEDERATION TODAY (now there are 50, as in 50 States United)
STILL HAS ITS OWN CITIZENS.
I must now digress and define a few terms. A Confederation is a league or alliance. For instance, one could say that NATO
is a confederation. A federation is defined as the formation of a political unity, with a central government, by a number of
separate states, each of which retains control over its own internal affairs. I must also point out the difference between a
democracy and a limited Constitutional Republic. In the Republic envisioned by our founding fathers, the individual had rights.
The govt. recognizes that God created man and endowed him with certain unaliable rights, such as Life, Liberty, and the

News
By Major Coyote
- - - ~-------------------_.
I
Well, Escom has been about and doing things, although it is hard to tell if they are doing all the right things or not. On July 21,
they had a meeting in Philadelphia, PA, with the U.S. Distributers. This of course is a good thing, however , the results of the
meeting were somewhat less positiv than we'd all hoped. Among the peop le there were Escom (of course) , Micropace ,
Software Hut, Centaur Development, nd CEI, among others. At least we have good representa tion from the loyal existing
developers and dealers. Naturaly, on of the big topics was the A4000T and what it might cost. Nobody was happy with the
rumored $3500 price tag. They discussed what the price ought to be, and how many they thought could be sold in the U.S.
Later in August they had another meetin g in the UK.
So lets get down to the facts:
tI' The A4000T will be available in the U.S., and apparently is even going to be manufac tured here. They should be
available in the first week of September.
tI' No solid manufact uring numbers are known, but the numbers 20,000 to 40 ,000 have been ment ioned at various times.
tI' The price should be well under $3000 , but nobody has solid prices yet. The dealers know what their cost will be, and
apparently they are pleased. Actual street price will probab ly depend on what the dealers decide to do.
tI' Configuration will be the A4000T with either an 040 or 060, 500MB to 1GB harddrive, and 6 megs ram. The A4000T
also includes the fast SCSI-II port, more slots, and more drive bays over the original A40oo . The 060 mode l should be
available in Novembe r.
tI' At this point, Escom is not planning on spendin g ANY money for advert ising in the U.S. You read right.
tI' They will be making around 100,000 A1200 's for the European market, 40,000 of wh ich have been pre-ordered by an
unknown buyer. They will be built in France by a U.S. based company.
tI' Configurations will include the basic model we had before, plus a package system with a 170MB harddrive and Scala
MM 300 software , and some other applicat ions like WP and such, for 499 UKP. Basic system with software , but not
Scala, is 399UKP.
tI' There are no plans to bring A1200's to the U.S. market, nor A4000Ts to the European market. Although they have
implied that machines could be imported if there rea lly is a demand for them .
tI' The A1200CD unit is "not a priority".
tI' They have however said that, for "the entry-level model" (A1200?), they are looking at externa l CD-ROM 's and more
on-board RAM. This is something that should be considered hi-priority. And it's easy to do.
tI' The CD32 is basicly dead ("not a priority"). They say there is no market for it, period.
tI' A company called 'Visacorp' is planning on marketing a "set top" box using CD32 techno logy. They have prototypes
already. Hopefully they will be successfull in the U.S. with this.
tI' NewTek has effect ively abandoned the Amiga. They're not planning on making more VideoToasters for the Amiga.
They now have an externa l, stand alone Toaster that can be controled from a PC (there's no particu lar reason it won't
work this way with an Amiga anyway).
tI' Centaur on the other hand has finaly finished their 'Video Processor/Roaster" chip for the Opalv ision board .
Considering this is newer technology and has to compete with the Toaster, it may very well be more powerful l. Maybe
NewTek was scared .
tI' Commodore's Full Motion Video (MPEG) card, which was in work ing prototype form, is also dead ('low priority') .
tI' Commodore's DSP technology ; wh ich was in working prototype form, is also dead ('low priority' ) as far as we can tell.
tI' God knows how many other awesome pieces of hardware Commodore made that Escom are not willing to produce.
If some of this scares you , it should. It seems to me like Escom is out to make a quick buck. But,·1 do have the feeling that
they will be more responsive to the users than Commod ore was. So, let them know how you feel.
"Multimedia plavers"
Compan ies are still try ing to cash in on the mult imedia-console market. Mag navo x and Philips are still push ing CD-I
technology, and Apple are working on a new multimedia box based on (yuck !) Mac technology. If there's a market for these
$500 devices, then I say there's a market for the CD32 (or some derivative). Remember that this is a consumer market and
16 4th Quarter 1995 Blacklisted! 411
potent ialy very large.
If Magnavox can sell a cheesy looking CD-I console for $499 stinkin' bux, surely Escom can sell CD32 conso les for less then
that. And what's more, the CD32 can bash the CD-I with it's 32 bit processing . The cornmerc 'ats for CD-I show it as some
amazing , all in one box that can play games and run educational software and such. Well, CD32 can do all that AND become
a full fledged computer . They even had the nerve to say "CD for your TV'; I wonder if they were aware of Commodor e's
CDTV?
Magnavox's CD-I apparently includes an MPEG decode r to play the CD-I VideoCD's which are differe nt from the standard for
VideoCD - CD32+MPEG can play both. The CD32 plus MPEG sells for less, and with Escom making lots of new units, the
price could be even less. And lets bring back the CDTV name. Lets make the CDTV more geared towards education and
computing uses , with the CD32 a console. CDTV would have the MPEG module built in to make it more comp etitive with the
CD-I and Apple's Pipin. CD32 may not be able to compete with the power of a 300, but it can certainly kill the CD-I. Apple
is apparently also working on a CD based console type machine along the lines of CD-I and CDTV, called "Pippin", and it
would cost around the same as the CD-I - $500. It's based on the Power PC chip, and it runs some kind of stripped down
vers ion of MacOS . It has 6MB of ram , wh ich I imagine is barely enough to do anything with. The CD32 could beat every
mach ine in the low price catagory .
Think about it. Due to the Amiga's highly efficient as, it doesn't need as much ram as Apple's Pipin would - 2MB is probably
equivalent to the 6MB that Pipin needs . That saves $130 (US $) or so in DRAM costs alone. The Amiga has the best
mult imedia software selection for developing applications . And proper ly written software is 100% compa tible between the
CD32 and the Amiga . In recent ads, CD32's are being advertized at around $250 ! I don't know if t'l ey actualy have any stock
of them , but considering dema nd, they must be priced to make money . Escom should be able to sell the CD32 for around
$250 (the original CD-I didn't even have a double spee d drive, I wonder if Magavox's does?). Beef it up with a 28Mhz 030 and
some fast ram for a $500 mode l (maybe even a 20Mhz EC040?) .
Nobody would be able to make a machine as nice for multimedia for under $300 . The CD32 has a powerfull operating system
that is very small and efficient and has lots of develop ment tools already. The graphi cs are not up to what a 300 or Jaguar
can do, in terms of fancy texture mapp ing and such, but it can do hi-res modes making it more suitable for educational
purpos es and expansion into full desktop compu ters.
"New"AmigQs
Escom has said they will get current Amiga models back into production ASAP. That's a good first step. But they don't seem
to be interested in bundling them with cool "new" stuff. This is an easy, cheap , and quick way to improve the Amiga. The most
obv ious, and easy addition , is a CD-ROM. If Escom won't do it, then I suggest the following: Developers , distributers and
dealers should get together and set some "standards" for Amiga systems, and then try to sell Amigas configured for those
standards. Software and hardware could be sold as being for some particular "standard" Amiga. For instance, a "multim edia
standard " Amiga might include a double speed CD-ROM , 6MB ram, etc.
Oh, and a little marketing tip: Apple has been claiming their 040 based Macs are "50/25Mhz" or "66/33Mhz". Of course we
know that 040's are not clock doubled internaly (at least, not like Intel DX2's are), even if they perform like they were. But if
Apple can say that, then Escom can say that about the Amiga. So, the A4000 should claim that it has a "50/25Mhz 040",
or "80/40Mhz 040", or "100/50Mh z 060".
Include an IDE "ATAPI" CD-ROM standard with the A4000, and as a standard packaged "A1200-CD". Why IDE? Wha t's
"ATAPI"? These are what IBM clones use. They are CHEAP, and plentifull. 2x speed drives are under $99 US. There is a
driver in the public doma in (it's actual y shareware) that lets you use these dr ives with the built in IDE ports on the
A4000 /A 1200 /A600 . An optional custom cable lets you use four IDE drives, as we ll. This should be liscensed for inclusion on
the Amiga. Include a 4x CD-ROM drive on the A4000, and at least a 2x drive for the A1200 . Of course , Amiga's should all
come standard with decent sized hard drives. The A4000 could come with a 540MB HD or larger IDE drive, they are cheap
and have gone done in price significantly since the A40 00 came out.
Escom should aquire a good accelerato r board design from a third party, and release faster A4000's based on these (a 40Mhz
040, and a 50Mhz 060 system is a good start). Maybe call them A4500's . Alternatively, they can just endorse particular cards
and let dealers buy individual parts of Amiga systems and configure them with the recomended third party cards (or whatever
the user wants) .
So in the short term we should have something like th is as the Amiga line up :
A1200-CD : Amiga 1200 with IDE CD-ROM drive (extern al), AmigaOS 3.1, CD32 "emulation" software, 'b uilt in" harddrive.
Lots of goodies on CD - PO software for Internet access, multimedia stuff, etc. Should be priced around $500 US.
A4000LC : MOOO with an LC040 CPU, 540MB hard drive, internal IDE CD-ROM drive (2x), 4MB ram , AmigaOS 3.1. To be
compet itive with similar Mac systems , this thing is going to have to be priced around $1000 US.
A40001060: MOOO with 50Mhz 060 CPU board , 6MB ram, CD-ROM (4x), 850MB HD. To compare well with Pentium and
PowerPC systems , this has to cost around $2000 .
A4000T/060: Like above, but with 10MB ram, SCSI-II, and lots of expansion ability . $2500.
Now, I could be way off in my estimates of price here . It may not be possible to sell them at these prices. I'm just pointing out
what they "should" cost in order to make them popular .
Phas e tw o :
Blacklisted! 411 4th Quarter 1995 17
Develop new generat ion Amig quickly as possible to be compet itive with Macs and PC's. Unfortunately , it seems that a
conservative estimat e of th tim it would take to complete AAA or anything similar is 18 months . So, instead, I propose an
intermediate solut ion.
On the low end, we have the A 1200. Not a bad little machine, but it needs a little more . Make it a little bigger, so that there's
room inside for a 3.5" harddriv . L ts get a SIMM socket in it for up to 8MB of fast RAM, a socket for a math co-processor ,
and for crying out loud, a built in r I time clock chip. Might as well put in the CD32's Akiko chip, and offer an external
CD-ROM drive (mak ing the system 100% CD32 compatible) . Finaly , give it a 21.4Mhz EC030 processor (socketed).
21.4Mhz? That's three times the standard 7.14Mhz Amiga clock rate -- 1.5 times as fast as the current A1200. Keeping the
clock at a multiple of 7.14Mhz makes the design a bit simpler (the A1200's CPU is actualy a 16Mhz chip); 21.4Mhz is
pretty close to the standard 25Mhz EC030 part . This new A1200 would be over three times faster than a stock A1200 today .
In the mid range , we have a perfect candidate that Commodore was too stupid to make : The Amiga 3000+. This wonderfull
machine that never happened was the original A4000 prototype . Basicly, it was an A3000 but with AGA and a DSP built in.
This machine should be brought back from the dead and released . It's already been designed , it just needs to be
polished off and released.
For the high end, we need something bell er than AGA. In order to mainta in compatib ility, this mach ine will have to have the
AGA chipset. But lets build in an existing graphics chip set - one of the newer 64 bit SVGA chipsets . Lets have the Amiga
graphics passed through , like some Amiga graph ics cards do, so that you could see Amiga AGA screens and SVGA screens
as if they all came from one chipset. Include system software that retargets graphics to the SVGA chipset (Cybergraph ics?),
and sound to the DSP (a new audio.device, maybe a 'dsp .library' or whatever so programers can use the DSP). Include
software that uses the DSP to do JPEG compress ion, and other cool things .
Throw in a 68060 CPU for power, and stuff it all into a killer tower case. Don't forget a SCSI-II controler , and a fast serial port .
The thing here is that all this stuff already exists and works, but you have to buy it all separately and stick it together .
So, our phase two lineup looks something like this (available sometime next year):
A1300: 21.4Mhz EC030 CPU, 4MB ram, CD-ROM (external) , 120MB HD. $600 .
A4400: 40/20Mhz LC040 CPU, DSP, SCSI-II, CD-ROM. $1500 .
A4400-40 : 80/40Mhz 040, '.', $1700 .
A4500T/060: 100/50Mhz 060 CPU, DSP, SCSI-II, 64bit SVGA graph ics, CD-ROM . $2500.
Phase three:
This won't be able to happen for some lime , unfortunately. There seems to be some debate whether it is worth the trouble to
finish the AAA chipset , or the "3D RISC" chip that they were working on as a post AAA system . I like features of both chipsets ,
and I think they should take the best of both to create the next generat ion Amiga .
The 3D RISC system was to be based on a customized HP-RISC CPU. That sounds like a good core for a new chipset. But
lets keep parts of AAA: Hi-resolution graph ics, VRAM, blitter, fast floppy port, fast serial ports, etc. There isn't much need for
the 16 bit 8 channel audio system , if we have the DSP, but it probably wouldn 't hurt to have it.
It may be a better idea just to use one of the newer 64 bit (128 bit?) SVGA chipsets. This in comb ination with the DSP would
probably be able to do everyth ing Amiga users have come to expect . Remember that SVGA would be much less limited when
running AmigaOS.
With this all new chipset, we might as well switch to a new CPU. By this time, things should have settled a bit in the industry.
Perhaps the PowerPC is the best choice of CPU. With all this new stuff, we can take the oppurtunity to add things like full
RTG, MP and VM, extensive new GUI objects , etc., to the operat ing system.
It is pretty hard to speculate about this system . I still insist that AAA/3D -RISC would be competitive . No other system would
have all the features of this chipset in such a compact and finely tuned architecture . Lets look at what this system might look
like (this is of course pure speculation and wishfull thinking) :
Motherb oard :
PCI slots (and Zorro III for backward compat) .
64 bit RAM (pairs of 32 bit SIMMs)
PowerPC CPU, 100+Mhz RISC. Possibly on a CPU card like existing Amigas .
DSP: 32 bit floating point, 33MFlops .
EIDE and SCSI-II.
Custom integrated MultiMedia chipset:
1280 x 1024 resolution.
Full support for NTSC/PAUHDTV graphics .
HAM8, HAM10 (24 bit!), 16 bit, 24 bit modes .
Chunky and planar modes.
Blitter (can do mathematical operations , scaling, texture mapp ing).
Sprites.
Advanced true co-processor .
18 4th Quarter 1995 Blacklistedl 411
16 bit sound.
Quad Density floppy support (3.5MB).
' CD-ROM support .
Two high speed DMA driven serial ports.
JoysticklMouse"ports.
Operating system:
Pre-emptive multitasking.
Memory protect ion and Virtual memory .
Object oriented GUI.
Datatypes .
Interprocess commun ication.
System script language (ARexx) .
I think such a system would still compare favorably with competing systems .

tI' The Motorola 68060 @50Mhz is 20-30% faster than a Pentium at 90Mhz running NewTel Lightwave 3D. (but of
's
course , we always knew that Motorola's were more efficient, now didn't we?)
tI' If want to use an IBM keyboard on your Amiga, there's a little device called the "SwitchHitter" that lets you use any IBM
keyboa rd on your 20001250013000/4000 and CD32 (it could be hacked into the A500/A 1UOO, just that these mach ines
have different keyboard connectors) . It's only $45 including shipping. Contact:

HOW TO GET ABANK ACCOUNT WITHOUT ASOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER
(continued from page 15)
persuit of happiness . The only legitimate function of govt. is to protect those rights. The individual is sovereign (every man a
.king in his own house) and the govt. is servant to th sovereign . A democra cy is totally different. In a democracy , there is no
recogn ition of a Supreme Being having created man with unaliable rights. The individual HAS NO RIGHTS IN A
DEMOCRACY. A democracy is simple majority rul . If the majority decide that they don't like people with short hair ano .ed
bow ties, they levy a tax on that particular group. Six wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner is an exar-iple of
democracy in action. My own favorite example of a democracy is a bunch of people on an overcrowded lifeboat lrying to
decide who gets fed to the sharks. In any case, the individual no longer counts, but becomes subject to the will of the majo rity,
which is supreme.
The will of the majority is the govt. Therefore, the govt. is no longer servant to the people but a master. The result is always
a tyranny and a dictatorsh ip. THE COMMUNIST COUNTR IES BY THAT DEFINITION HAVE ALWAY S BEEN
DEMOCRACIES. That is what is meant by a "Peoples Democratic Republic."
Back to the history lesson. The 13 sovereign nations that formed the federation each jealously guarded their sovereignty.
Therefore, not one of them was willing to let any of the others be the seat of the federal govt. So, Virginia donated a 10 square
mile piece of land for the seat of federal govt, which was now not part of any of the several states of the union . It is called,
alternatively, Washington DC or the "United States." The "United States" was never intended to be a state nor was it intended
to have any of the rights of any of the several states. It was just supposed to be the seat of the federal govt. The federal govt.
was a govt. of very, very limited powers. Mainly, it was the foreign agent of the several states, so that we could bargain
collectively with foreign powers.
The US constitution placed heavy chains on the federal govt, but there was on flaw in the armor and that is, THERE WAS NO
LIMIT PLACED ON HOW THE FEDERAL GOVT. WAS TO DEAL WITH ITS OWN INTERNAL AFFAIRS WITHIN THAT 10
SQUARE AREA (known alternatively as Washington DC or the United States).
Article I, section 8, clause 17 of the US constitution granted congress an exclusive legislative jurisdiction over the 10 sq. mile
area known either as Washington DC or the "United States." That means , a simple majority rule over the internal affairs of
that area, and that is of course a democracy. The "United States" was therefore a democracy waiting to happen. What it
lacked was its own citizens.
In 1868, the 14th amendment to the US constitution was passed to give the newly freed black slaves a form of citizenship.
With the exception of Pennsylvania and one other state, whites only were Citizens of the various states. The "United States"
did not have any authori ty to interfere in the internal affairs of any of the several states of the union, and therefore had no
, authority to force any of the states to grant the freed slaves a Citizenship of the state. The only authority the "United States"
had was to make the blacks "United States citizens." These citizens (small c) HAVE NO RIGHTS. Being citizens of a
democracy, they are servant to government. They can only have privilege, which is revokable at the whim of congress. A
citizen (small c) of a democracy does not have an absolute right to own property. All property is collectively owned by the state
(the majority rule.) So, the 14th amendment created a new, second class of citizenship (small c). Although created for the
freed black slaves, the vast majority of us today are US citizens under the 14th amendment. How did that happen?
There are several ways in which someone who is born a free, white Citizen of any of the several States United becomes a "US
citizen." But, 1 will cover here the main culprit. In 1935, the Social Security act was passed. There are those who will argue
that the act was as unconstitut ional as hell. I agree. But, the original act, as passed, was still relatively benign. Each state
had control over their own social security program . But, in 1939, social security metastasized (spread, got cancerous ) when
it was federalized, via the Public Salary Tax Act. ANYONE WHO CHOOSE TO KEEP HIS SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER AT
THIS POINT OR EXERCISED A BENEFIT UNDER SOCIAL SECURITY, WAS NOW CONSIDERED TO BE A "US citizen"
AND NOT A CITIZEN OF A STATE. (see BASICS PART II)

This is a two page book review on how to legally and safely volunteer out of the voluntary income tax. People have paid
thousands of dollars on restoring their sovereign status. This book has all that information in one place and proves that beyond
a reasonable doubt that most of us are already sovere igns and do not have to do someth ing to become a sovereign. Th is book

New Crypto Chip Designed
AT&T Bell Laborato ries and VLSI have enter d a non- xclusive agreement to develop a new commercial cryptographic chip.
The plan indicates waning support for the governm nt m ndated Clipper data-encryption chip. The new cryptoqrapr -c chip,
which is not mandated by the U.S. Government, but m ets government standard for security, has industry insiders speculating
whethe r VLSI, the manufa cturer of the Clipper chip, nd AT&T , a supplier of Clipper equipped phone s, have stoppe d
supporting the infamous chip. The Clipper chip is known for its ability to unscramb le encrypted transmissions with a digital key
possessed by the government for "national security" purpos s. This capability has stirred a "Big Brother" controversy among
several civil rights and engineering organizations. This n w proposed chip design has no such "known" back doors .
This move has some industry observers believing there is no market for the government endorsed Clipper chip. The data
supports this conclusion, with only 1,000 clipper chips sold last year according to James Bidzos, president of RSA Data
Security, Redwood City, CA that licensed the technology to both companies . "Companies are not going to get into a market
unless it is a sizeable one", he said. The two supporters of the new chip believe that it will entice the commerc ial and consumer
areas more than the ill-recieved Clipper chip.
The chip is designed to be used to protect data that is being sent over wireless networks, over the lnternet, on cellular phones,
or other wired data systems such as cable TV. The VM06868 single chip encryption system is based on public key encryption
where the digital key itself in used in the data encryption . Without this key, the data encrypted becomes useless and
undecypherable. The chip uses a single or triple DES operation which is generally accepted to be virtually unbreakable .
Global information network underused
Several recent unpublished reports claim that the global information highways are using only a small fraction of their potential
capacity. The reports studied potential and used capacity on high speed fiber optic circuits in Transatlantic, Transpac ific, and
other international lines serving western Europe.
A report never released to the general public commissioned by Comsat Corp., determined that nearly two thirds of capacity
on Transatlantic and Transpacific high speed data fiber optic trunks are unused. This number may grow to over four fifths of
unused capacity as new trans-oceanic cables are brought on-line over the next 18 months.
Across Europe, sources say, even more capacity lies idle. Operators have declined to comment on how many pairs that are
installed in their installed cables, but informed sources suggest most intra-European links include 20 to 40 fiber pairs. Typically
no more than six fiber pairs are equipped with electronic lasers and detectors, the rest remain ' dark'. Also many existing lines
operate at only 8mbps or 34mbps, when they could be upgraded to speeds of up to 2.5gbps without replacing any installed
fiber. Most public operators long distance networks are "generously over-dimentioned' according to a report delivered to the
European Commiss ion recently.
Views vary on why there is so much unused capacity. Some suggest that extremely restrictive national regulat ions limit
availability of unused capacity. These regulations make it difficult for companies to lease international fiber optic lines. But it
appears that the major hurdle is telecom operators who do not wish to sell their available capacity for fear of competition from
alternate telecommun ication providers. Telecom operators often refuse to share capacity information, even when allempt ing
to work towards a common goal. METRAN, a project to introduce 155mbps networking throughout Europe is still in limbo after
-four years of talks. Even RACE, a European Commission fundedbroaobend network program, does not know how much
capacity is in the ground .
Unfortunately the victims are numerous . MFS Communications Co. says that every European operator it contacted for
34mbps international circuits turned it down. The companies only high speed digital link is between the United States and the
United Kingdom. Other operators have experienced similar problems on the Transatlant ic route. Despite the spare capacity
Blacklistedl 411 25
available, reseller lOB WorldCom Inc. h s found it difficult to lease high speed lines 'on major Transatlant ic cables operated
by public telecom operator s. In f ct, sources say that MFS is the only non public telecom operator that has leased a
Transatlantic circuit of 34mbps or mor . .
Even when high speed circuits ar v iI ble, they are expensive. MFS, for example , was looking for a high speed channel to
lease inside Germany, and was off r d 34mbps circuit, but at 17 times the price of a 2mbps circuit. 'W e want to prov ide a
pan-European interconnect at nativ LAN speeds, but at that price, nobody would buy " said Th ierry Bosser , an MFS
representative in Brussels.
Telecom operators have stated that they are only acting as "rational competitors " and if they priced capacity near actual cost,
it would destroy their profitability. Joe Baptista, vice president of a European telecom believes that"Leased lines are priced
high for competitive, defensive reasons, to prevent resellers from being able to build their own networks at costs that would
enable them to compete. In the United States, capacity figures fare much better. Sources estimate about 2000 long distance
45mbps circuits are on commercial leases, compared to fewer than 20 in all of Europe . In the United States , data
communication networks are rate tariffed requiring telecom providers to make available unused capacity to alternate network
providers.
Ironically, the high prices for high speed wide area networking is encouraging many providers to build their own networks
since competitors will be able to price their capacity above cost. The end looser is the consumer , who will paying for multiple
under used parallel networks rather than using existing hardware to capacity.
Former FCC Head Predicts
Commissions Demise
AI Sikes, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission during the presidency(rein) of George Bush, told the press
that in his view the agency will cease to exist in its present form within 5 years. In the future he believes that the FCC will be
more involved in straightforward implementation than in resolving high policy issues. Sikes bases his opinion on the feeling
that substantial telecommunications deregulation considered by the US Congress is inevitable. The projected free-market,
free-for-all atmosphere will make the FCC as it is knows today completely irrelevant. Sikes said 'W e only need the FCC if
there is high policy to deal with. If you are only policing the airwaves to make sure people are using their assigned spectrum ,
you don't need a Commission:

Cybergridlock Feared
The huge growth in the number of computer s hook d up to th Internet could soon face the electronic version of gridlock, as
reported by computer industry experts. It is stimat d th t tr ffic from the worlds 20 million Internet users is estimated at more
than 1 terrabyte of information a day, over 30 t rabyte month, equaling 30 million 700 page novels, and the network is
feeling the strain. Experts believe that this probl m could reach a critical point in three to five years unless a solution is found.
"It wont come on us suddenly like a brick wall, but there will be an ever more noticeable diminution of network speed' said
Charles Stancomb, of London based consultan cy SRI International. Accord ing to Vinton Cert, labeled 'The father of the
Internet", and now a senior vice-president at MCI Communications Corp., network congestion has reached a "dangerous
measure" because the Internet was still "modest in capacity"
Developed in 1969, the Internet was developed as a way for Defense Department scientists to exchange results between
laboratories. In the 1970's and 1980's, it has grown haphazardly across the phone lines with the explosive growth of the
personal computer. Despite newly added fiber optic lines, some users are already noticing in network speed. Effects include
taking much longer to access Internet Web pages, and download files. The Web with its new Internet pages that include video,
audio, and high quality images is only adding to the congestion.
Fifty spoken words digitized, or 3 seconds of video, take up the same about of bytes a 700 page novel. Byte hungry audio and
video have become a standard of every software that accesses the Internet. Some operators of Internet trunk lines such as
Sprint Corp. is rapidly upgrading their digital circuits to add greater capacity. The expansion is greatest in the United States
where Internet use is the greatest. Telecom operators are concerned that Internet traffic could cause bottlenecks on their
networks. The proposed solutions usually involve charging users to use the internet itself, that previously has been free, with
the only cost being a local phone call and any premium services used, but this added expense is not well received by the
current egalitarian culture of the internet. Unfortunately with the business community waking up ',0 the potential of the Internet,
some believe it is inevitable in the long run.
Plastic Hard Drives?
Just when you thought glass or ceramic was the latest innovation in hard drive medium, plastic has arrived on the scene.
Seagate Technology and Sony Corp are betting on just that. The two companies have announced a joint venture to develop
and commercialize disk drives using pre-embossed rigid magnetic (PERM) technology pioneered by Sony. PERM uses a
plastic media similar to CD-ROM's and magneto -optical disk drives. The technology calls for a pre-formatted servo, and
discrete tracks resulting in expected higher signal to ratio figures, which could result in improved signal densities.
PERM has the potential to allow drives with five times the density of current media. In addition, the new technology could cut
manufacturing costs by simplifying production on the permanently embossed servo. New head and channel developments will
aid in design of higher capacity drives as well. The PERM technology is still in its developmental infancy, and real product may
not be available until 1997 or 1998. Magnetic media is feeling the competition from developing optical and solid state storage
technolog ies, but industry analysts are optimistic that this new technology would add several years to the life of the magnetic
storage business.

._--------------------------------_.
I (c) 1995 - Damien Thorn
Those not suffering memory loss associated with the abuse of assorted substances may recall Digital Thunder's introduction
to cellular hacking that appeared in the last two issues of Blacklisted! 411. Th is article expands on some of the topics he
raised, and makes corrections and updates as appropriate. Here you'll learn some of the secrets of cellular hackers.
I
Since cellular hacking and cellular fraud are not synonymous, it's important to make a distinction between the two. Hackers
enjoy the technology itself, and the magic that can be found stashed inside most cellular phones in the form of diagnostic
commands that allow one to regain manual control of normally automated hardware . Cellular bandits are more interested in
snagging electronic serial numbers.
Speaking of snagging serial numbers, as a columnist for Nuts & Volts Magaz ine, I've received countless letters from people
asking how to make a "cheap ESN reader." This has always been a private source of amusement because "cheap" and "ESN
reader" don't belong in the same sentence. Outside of a large cellular repa ir facility, there is no logical reason for anyone to
need the capability of snagging an ESN other than fraud. And since cellular repair shops and those engaged in cellular fraud
both make big bucks, it's laughable to get such a question. Takes money to make money, you know? Put down the phone
before you hurt somebody.
Those nell-bent on figuring out how to decode the data may want to check out some of the cellular chipsets manufactured by
Phillips/S igne!ics. Their RF cornmun lcatlons databook even lists deve lopment kits to assist budd ing manufacturers in
designing cellular phones and writ ing firmware around their hardwa re. These chips, espec ially the UMA1000T "data
processor for cellular radio" can take demodulated audio from either the AMPS or TACS system and spit out data. Error
correction is handled in the hardware, and this further reduces software requirements. Although the chip is designed to be
integrated into a cellular phone, it may be possible to make it do other things. With the inherent 12Cserial bus control, talking
to the chip is not the mcst difficult thing in the world to accomplish. Not being a programmer , it's more than I can stomach, but
the lengthy "cellular chipset design guide" in the databook sure gave me a much greater understand ing of the hardware .
Forty-three pages on how to design and build a cellular phone makes for heady reading.
The phase-shift keying (not phase-key shifting as written last month) employed by the cellular system for data transmiss ion is
further complicated by a type of error correction protocol known as BCH encoding. The initials stand for the unpronounceable
names of the three people who collaborated on designing the protocol. (Sorry, I can't even talk about the 'Yggdrasil' Linux
distribution without people snickering. They now call it Plug-and-Play Linux because of people like me...).
Since I can't say it, I won't try to explain it. Anyone hell-bent on designing a device to deccde this protocol really needs to order
the cellular specifications from the Electronic Industry Association in Wash ington , DC. I've read the hundreds of pages
describing the cellular air interface a number of times, but I'll never understand all of it. Polynomial encoding of binary data is
a subject heavy enough to sink a battleship, you know?
Much of the esoteric detail has also been described in text files by the likes of Brian O'blivion, Restricted Data Trans mission
(RDT) and other fine folks associated with Boston's The LOpht. Those with Internet access can check out their ftp site at
ftp.IOpht.com as long as their server doesn't detect IP source headers indicating your provider is America Online. AOL users
have been banned from the archives. Please respect the LOphts net presence and avoid greed when searching for files,
'
okay? Unlike welfare and payphones , some public services shouldn't be abused.
Much space was also devoted to describing the contents of a so-called "numer ic assignment module" (NAM) in tha last issue,
including assorted diagrams of chip pinouts. Unfortunately, use of these chips in cellular phones has gone the way of the
infamous "blue box" and henceforth should only be published in paleontology journals. Accord ing to the "NAMFAX"
programming manual published by Curtis Electro Devices, this type of NAM format (and the associated chips) pretty much fell
b)' the wayside in 1988 with the introduction of handset programmab ility. "Burning a NAM" with subscriber information no
longer requires a chip programmer .
Since that information is only of historical interest, let's lake a look at the technology used in more recent years. With most
modern phones, the data programmed in through the keypad programm ing mode is stored in an EEPROM (electr ically
erasable programmable read-only memory) device. These little chips usually use a two or three wire serial interface to read
and write data to and from the chip. The stored data includes the subscriber's mobile number, home system identification
number and a few other useless things such as the phone's unlock code and access overload class.
Interestingly enough, manufacturers somet imes store the ESN within this chip as well, and simply "protect" the serial number
by not allowing the phone's firmware to over-write the specific bytes containing this data. This does not preclude anyone from
pulling the chip off the phono's logic board and reprogramming it themselves , however. While the phone's operating firmware
may not re-write the ESN bytes for a cellular bandit, a standard EPROM programmer or software will do it in mere seconds.
The two most common serial EEPROMs used in cellular phones are the 85C72 and the 93C46. Photo #1 is a shot of the
93C46 in a Technophone MC9XX series phone. The 8-pin surface mounted chip is between capacitor "C10" and oscillator
crystal "XL2" if you can read the silk-screened legends on the PC board. That small sucker (or a close cousin) is the target of
many cellular cloners, and a number of freeware utilities (that many companies will be happy to sell you for a few hundred
dollars) will assist hackers in programming these chips from a PC.
Despite FCC regulat ions that requ ire manufacturers to protect the circuitry respons ible for serial number delivery from
else. It even neatly unplugs from the rest of the telephone circuitry. Amazing, huh? Outboard ESN storage like this can be
found in some older phones such as the Mitsubishi 800.
What this type of module allows a manufacturer to do is build phones en masse on the assembly line without worrying about
what amounts to a serialized component. If a manufacturing defect or quality control problem occurs, there are no ''wasted''
serial numbers. The ESN component is simply plugged in during the final assembly phase. An added benefit is that the logic
board can be swapped out in the field by a service technician without requiring an ESN change. Of course, this also makes
these phones inaedibly vulnerable to being hacked.
Not all companies take the Beavis and Bullhead approach to security when building cell phones, however. Some actually are
fairly difficult to exploit. After the arrest of 18 people in New York for cellular cloning a couple of years ago, the president of
Audiovox was quoted as saying, 'The sad thing is that this type of crime is very preventable . If this type of alteration is
attempted on an Audiovox cellular phone, the phone is rendered useless."
Louis Antoniou of Audiovox says that altering the ESN is prevented on Audiovox phones through an algorithm in the phone's
firmware . While he didn't specify exactly how this is accomplished , we assume that he is referring to a form of encryption .
While we don't know what form such encryption may take, Phil Zimmerman has confirmed that it is not PGP. Maybe there's
a Clipper chip in there ...heh!
Other manufacturers take the high road to solving security issues by avoiding the use of standard EEPROMS to hold the ESN
data. In these phones, the ESN is burned to a one-time programmable memory location inside the microprocessor itself and
thus cannot be altered or easily read back out of the chip. Circumventing this type of security has required hackers to actually
rewrite the operating firmware of the phone to instruct it to look elsewhere for the ESN.
There are two good examples of this. The first was a firmware replacement written by Video Vindicator and first released by
Drunkfux at the invitation-only SummerCon about two and a half years ago. By today's standards it was rather awkward
software that derived the ESN from values entered in standard ftelds such as those containing the security code and system
ID. Since tumbling fraud was still prevalent at the time, it was a convenient way to alter the ESN through the handset
programming mode.
The latest technique has been employed in the various bootleg chips available for the popular Oki 900 phone. With one of
these binaries installed, the user can simply key in one or several different serial numbers directly from the keypad, and select
the desired one prior to
each call . A similar
operat ing firmware
modificat ion came
along not too long ago
installed in small
Panason ic phones ,
such as the HB-600.
Just a year ago, these
modified Panasonic
units were selling for
about $1,500 and
popular on both the
East and West coasts.
Eventually a 44-year-
old California man was
arrested along with his Photo 2
Blacklisted! 411 4th Quarter 1995 29
26-year-old son and a family friend for allegedly writing the modificat ion, and selling more than 1,000 of-the phones . The
arrest was the culmination of an eight month joint investigation by the SecretService and a number of local law enforcement
a
agencies. According to agents involved in the case, a number of the phones had been seized during Northern California
drug bust, and have turned up as far away as Europe. ' . '
Simply writing new firmware for a cellular phone is apparently not illegal, no matter what the routines within the chip may do.
The people arrested in this case had supposedly gone beyond explor ing technology and were provid ing work ing ESN I MIN
pairs preprogrammed inside the modified phones . Oops. Big-time cloners tend to fall simply because the cellular industry
needs to.put on a med ia show. Never mind the fact that tens of thousands of people from all walks of life are using cloned
phones of one type or another. No one mentions that the $300 million they claim to lose each year to fraud represents only
a minuscule 3% of their annual revenue, which woul d be more than an acceptable lossin any other industry . .
What these highly-public ized arrests do is to distract the public from the fact that the cellular protocol has gaping security holes
that are impossible to close without replacing every single cellular phone in existence . Since this isn't likely to happen , it
appears that cellular hacking , fraud and cloning will continue at it's current rate of escalat ion. When the mainstream news
media reports that 40% of all cellular calls placed in Oakland, California on a Friday night are fraudulent, it paints a pretty
dismal picture.
Overall, the cellular network is fun to explore despite the overwhe lming amoun t of abuse . It appea ls to a broad spectrum of
those interested in technology because it combines radio, computers , networking and telephony. It's such a complex and cool
blend of disciplines, that we can't help but explore it further in future issues.

We all know that news happens "live" every day; everyone from wor ld leaders to the local dog catcher is out there on the radio
somewhere -and you can listen if you know where to tune. We've become a wired world .
What's the catch? It's that there are thousan ds, maybe millions, of different radio freque ncies. Your scanner tunes most of
these, but how do you find them out? You could ask. Don't expect a lot of answers . Expect a lot of suspicious looks. You could
look them up in FCC records , if you have about six months. You could even find them all with your search mode 0/. if you have
several years to figure out all the codes and abbreviations you'll hear .
The other choice? Join the non-profit Radio Communications Monitoring Assoc iation!
Founded in 1975, we are the first national and international association of scanner radio listeners. Each month, our SCANNER
JOURNAL publishes hundreds of frequen cies, code s and pieces of background info. Half of SCANNER JOURNAL is
dedicated to police, fire and other public safety, in the belief that a scanner is as valuable a survival tool as a flash light or food
supply. In floods and other emergenc ies, there won't be time to search out frequencies . The RCMA helps find the good ones
before they're needed . Ask anyone who went through the Los Angeles riots how important this is.
As scanners include more bands , so do we. Our expanded coverage includes the most informative shortwa ve columns

HARDWARE HACKERS F ORUM
FULL BOO MHZ COVERAGE '95
by Steve Donnell, RCMA Technical Topics Editor, 2105 Main 5t, Newmarket, NH 03857
Here is a neat approach that you may want to consider in order to deal with the reality of having incomplete 800 MHz
programming coverage in all newer models of scanners. "Image reception" is one technique that has been used in the past to
get around 800 MHz and other programming limits as defined in a scanner's computer 'firmware .' But even with is not without
its drawbacks. Usually there is a small portion of 800 MHz band spectrum that still can't be reached .
Here is a better way: most scanners (those with a 10.80 or 10.85 MHz 1st IF frequency) designed and/or marketed by Uniden
utilize a fairly standard PLL synthesizer and LO (Local Oscillator) chain configuration: A single VCO (Voltage Controlled
Oscillator) that operates in the VHF frequency range which supplies LO signals to 1:111 of the different frequency band
converters . During VHF band(s) reception , the VHF frequency converter stage uses the LO signal without any need of
additional frequency multiplication.
For UHF band reception , that same LO signal is multiplied x3. For 800 MHz band reception, the LO is rr.ultiplied x6. Frequency
multiplication for the UHF and 800 MHz band reception all takes places an internal funct ion of the UHF and 800 MHz
frequency converter circuit stages. Whenever you have an 800 MHz frequency programmed into, say, a BC-220XLT, the
'base' frequency of the VCO is operating somewhere in the 150 - 165 MHz range. This is then multiplied up (x6) to 795 - 950
MHz, exactly 10.8 MHz down from whatever frequency you have programmed into the scanner.
In order to get around the frequency limitstops from the scanner's CPU (which prevents frequenc ies in the 869 - 894 range
from being programmed into the scanner), I figured why not find out if I could generate a 'base' LO signal in the correct
frequency range by programming the scanner onto a frequency of a different band. Then I could manually 'hotwire' ON the
scanner's 800 MHz frequency converter stage, a function normally controlled by the CPU. .
I concluded that if you program a frequency in the range between 157.435 and 161.699 MHz into a scanner like the new
BC-220XLT, which supposedly cannot be set to receive frequencies in parts of the 800 MHz band, then manually toggle ON
the logic line that controls the 800 MHz frequency converter (and of course block the logic line that turns ON the VHF high
band frequency converter to prevent inadvertent reception of VHF signals), you could perhaps receive signals from stations
operating in the 869 -894 MHz range. Extensive land and field testing has shown this technique works just marvelously .. .
It's important to note two distinct advantages for using this method" even with older models of scanners that can be 'CPU
modified' to receive across frequencies in the 869 - 894 range, you often had in many cases to tolerate a significant amount
of 'image reception' interference when scanning or searching across this frequency range from other stations in the 860 MHz
area. If you generate your 'VCO base' signal by programming in frequency limits of between 157.435 MHz and 162.600 MHz,
the multiplied LO siqnal comes out 10.8 ABOVE the 869 - 894 MHz range.
Another reason for using this method is that you are typically stuck with tuning steps of only 12.4 KHz in all portions of the 800
MHz band. This can result in receiving some stations a few KHz off frequency. By using this newer approach, although the
tuning steps that the scanner uses in the 157 MHz is 5 KHz (with the additional frequency multiplication of the LO signal taken
into account), the tuning step increments the scanner operates on now becomes 30 KHz. Isn't that just special .. .
As we have hinted about earlier, this modification technique can be applied to a number of scanners. Scanners like the
BC-760, BC-200 and quite likely the new BC-700 and the Sportcat. This also includes some Radio Shack scanners like the
PRO-51 and the PRO-2026-any that were designed by Uniden. Other Radio Shack scanners, like those from GRE, employ
a separate VCO for use with the 800 MHz band.
One additional step that I noticed when trying this mod on a BC-950 and BC-760 is that for these two scanners and any others
that employ a 10.85 MHz 1st IF, you also need to supply a turn ON voltage into the PLL Shift line. This is required to operate
the PLL at the correct frequency for 800 MHz reception while a VHF is 'dialed in' on the display. Merely tie a 10K resistor
between the Shift input to the PLL board and a +5 volt DC source. A somewhat better approach is to connect the 10K resistor,
not to the Shift input on the side of the PLL module, but directly to the PIN diode that the shift line normally controls. For a
BC-760 this would correspond to the Anode of 0705 (05 3 for the BC-950). We will go into more specific details on how to
perform this mod for a BC-760 if any readers would like to have it covered.

Conceivably, since the scanner is not required to actually 'program' in any 800 MHz frequencies, this technique could be used
with a scanner that does NOT have any 'normal' 800 MHz capability at all-one like the PRO-2023 . This would still require an
800 MHz converter stage to be installed . Uniden part #: BPHY0140ABZ .
Specific details on how to install this mod
in a BC-220XL T can be seen in diagram
1. When the switch is in the Normal
position, the scanner operates entirely
normally. When the switch is in the
Convert position, the operation of the VHF
High band converter stage is blocked and
the same control voltage used for the VHF
converter is used to turn ON the 800 MHz
Diagram band converter . Then all you need to do is
lH program in frequency search limits of
157.435 and 161.600 MHz, The LO signal
the PLL generates is between 146.6 and
o 150.8 MHz. The VHS High band converter
o is not activated, so no VHF signals are
o 0 received . But the LO is also routed into the
Top Bottom 800 MHz converter-which when manually
BC.220XLT Receiver PCBoard activated , generates a x6 multiple of the
LO across a frequency range of 879.81 to
904.8 MHz. Since there isn't too much action 10.8 MHz above this range , typically anything you hear will be 10.8 MHz below
the LO range limits.
Even if you do not perform this mod, I hope it will give you a beller understanding as to how scanner are designed and how
they operate. One additional hint that I have come up with for more interference-free reception of certain parts of the 800 MHz
band is to employ some means of good RF band pass filtering . This can be a big improvement for many scanners used in
urban areas A very easy and economical way to approach this is with a duplexer from any old '800 MHz mobile subscriber'
radios. These can commonly be found at many Ham f1eamarketsfor about $10 - $20. Depending on whether you connect your
scanner to the RX or TX port of the duplexer , you can use it for filtering either Mobile or Base frequency band splits.

HACKERS
Their Crime? Curiosity!
Our crime? Not watching these thingsl Why? This is what society thinks of "hackers" and what they are (or
are not) capable of. It would be a good idea to watch this, when it comes out. The trailers we've seen for it
do look quite interesting, actually. Remember, though, this movie is nothing but fiction with a lot of made up
technology and ideas. Although , the ideas do bring new subjects into light. If you liked War Games ,
Sneakers, Johnny Mnemonic or The Net, this movie will be a good one to watch, as well. If anything, it's
something to take your mind off the real world of hacking and into the imaginary world of high-tech-cyber-
hacking-anonymous-101.. Some of the stuff out these days -representing the hacking ability- is incredibly out
of whack....BUT.....It's entertaining ! So, when you watch this, try not to choke on the misrepresentation. :)
So, you ve !Jeenthinking a!Jout wrHing UI

Freaked and dream d...by Mr. L isterique The Phreak
Shout s: Once aga in, acknowledgement and adul li on go out to all the open minded phreak s across the world!
So finally it's my tum to tell you a bedtime story . Stop cr mlng it's not gonna save ya. The nightmare. God I hate dreaming.
Three, Four...bette r lock your door. Five , Six... gr b your crucifix. Seven, Eight... better stay awake . Nine, Ten ...He's back
again. Some say I was murdered, but no body wa v r found.
How it all started. After a day of hard working I w nt hom nd found some mail in my room . Besides those fuck ing bills I
found two mags . The first mag was : SPLOSH I It' m 9 from the UK and it's about naked girls with big hooters (HONK
HONK !) wich are totally covered with mud , paint, wh ipp d cr am and ohter kinds of fluid food . Anyway , it seems to me that
those British people are more sleazy then I ever thought b for . For those curious outhere:
Splash! PO Box 70, St Leonards-on-Sea, East Su ex T N38 OPX ,UK
The other mag was: U.S. Cavalry . It's about military and dv nlure equipment. They carry out also some phonedevices , bugs ,
lasers and other weird shit. Howeve r this mag was send from th UK. It turns out that you can send this mag to your friends for
FREE by filling in a form . So somebody from the UK just did this . The question was: who did it? Hmmm ...it could be
Phantasm (uabbs@works.com) . The dud e who runs Unau thorized Acce ss, Britains largest compute r underground BBS
+44-(0)636-708063 Naaah , it was too long ago when I con tacted him . I think it's CODEWALKER. So I sent him a note . Shut
up stupid! I know for a phreak it's quite lame to send a note. But hey , I hadn't phreaked for the last 5 months , so I had no
working calling cards, pbx's and I succeeded only a few times 1 make a bluebox call this year. Simply because it's qu ite hard
0
nowawadays. It's not comolete dead but like I ment ioned before, I jus thad n't phreaked for the last 5 months. And I also
stopped crack ing payp hones a long time ago. Besides I was busy with makin g nice phreakfiles for the Dutch scene . If you are
Dutch be sure you get your hands on these Lister ique phreakf iles:
- 5(M)ESS. A complete documentation about the Dutch phone( s) -Wh ich includes dialups and other secret phonenumbers !
- Antwapp. All about answer ing machines. Includ ing exampl es and lots of codes .
- Bluebox . All Dutch toll free numbers for blue boxing with some hints .
- bankhack. A nice file indeed . Also other interes ting phone numbers are mentioned in it.
- Modemnut. All tollfree modem numbers . Inlcuding AT&T Hack.
- PBXcrack . All Dutch toll free PBX dialups .
- Vo icemail. My best phreakfile till now. All About voice mail hack ing. Including some very complete CEWL Hacks .
- Phreakit. A complete scan of a dutch area . Only the secrets numbers are listed ! Includ ing PTT TELECOM Numbers.
Watch out for more interesting files in the near future :
- Heavy duty: Just wait you Dutch Phreaks .
- GSM : this article will be printed in PRIVATE LINE. Like Onke l Dittmeyer said: It's a magaz ine for phreaks . It's only just
about phones ! Volume 2, No.4 was cool indeed . For phreaks who didn't heard about this mag , here is the adress :

Oh, I almost forgot the most important thing. Did I told you yet that I have a girlfriend. NO!? I've got a girlfriend . And she
knocks me out everytime. OUCH ! She is not only very attract ive, she has brains too ! OH BOY ! Long dark hair, soft red lips,
wild brow n eyes , pretty face , long legs, a good shape . Nice but and cute tits. MAN, She is a VAMP ! A man-killer ! I always
wanted une Femme Fatale ! And now the great part of her: She doe s not have an attitude ! Call me mr. LUCKY ! I) Sorry for
drifting away but I just had to do it. I think this guy is ju st melting. Being in LOVE is a great fee ling. I LOVE YOU MARJOLlJN !
Alright I continue the story . I received a note back wich was an invitation for Access All Areas too . This dude wrote me that I
can come over and have a sleep at his place. Don't worry dudes, he's married. PHEW ! Th is sounds interesting. Altho ugh , I
Blacklisted! 411 4th Quarter 1995 49
was saving my money for a new car. Fuck the car, I'll buy my Honda CRX next month.' I AM GOING TO ACCESS ALL AREAS
IN THE UK! PARDEY, PARDEYIII Two days later I bought my ticket:
Which airport do you want to land on, ir?
Huh? Are there more airports for London?
Yes, sir.
Well, in that case, I want the clos t to London City.
Allright, sir. That's gonna be London City Airport.
Live is just too simple....... Now I just hav to get some pound notes. I bought 125 pounds (325 guilders/US $200). It is not too
much, I know it would be far too less if I would freak out overhere in one weekend. If I had bought more I just had spent it
anyway. I wonder if those UK Phreaks know how to booze. A few days later my phone ringed. At that time it was 1 o'clock
midnight. Rule NR 1: NEVER give your phonenumber to a foreign phreak. The night before I had slept only 3 three hours
(yup, pardey), so I was quite bushed. Anyway, It was a friend of codewalker. Well that's what he told me. I can't remember
much of the conversation but I told him wich plane I took and some other crap. Damn!, this dude was calling with a mobile
phone wich had global access. COOOOOOOLI It sounded great. At least, better then those sloppy mobile connections of PTT
TELECOM. You won't believe the shit they are selling over here. Holland is almost the smallest country in Europe and also a
country with no mountains at all. In this country PTT TELECOM succeed to fuck it up. One year after releasing GSM, wich was
delayed already one year, it's still not possible to reach all areas in Holland. I am talking about big areas here. Instead of
installing more radiostations and antennas, they're driving with testvans all day to measure the network. FUCKING IDIOTS!
It also happened a few times the whole networked collapsed ! People were quite upset. Most people are also pissed about
those astronomic rates for making GSM calls. And so it happened that GSM users started an action commitee against PTT
TELECOM. Way to go, PTT Telco !
A few days later Codewalker himself called me, good old PBX, just to let me know how I should get there. Finally it was friday,
at 16:00 I arrived at Rotterdam Airport. At 5 o'clock I was heading to London. When the plane took off my balls were vibrated
just at the right frequency. IT FELT GOOD! It was quite hot that day and I hoped we wou ld crash in the Northsea .
AAAAaaahh...Quickdive to hell! Besides the stewardess gave us a excellent show with here live jacket...NOT! She must
really hate this. Since the plane wouldn't crash I had to think up a better idea. So I asked somebody to open up a window. I
wonder why some people started sreaming. I was only joking! I grabbed my walkman and listened to my latest copy of Fresh
Fruit Records (cocktail 1&2). I just bought these CD's yesterday. So I wasn't able to listen to them till then. Rene et Gaston,
D.J. Zki & Dobre RULEZZZZzzzz ! (klatsch, oh boy, Spectacle de Foire :) II!!!, let's get closer baby, do you know what I mean,
Vallee de Larmes, etc.). Music huh? That reminds me, we flew above the main harbor of the world, the port of Rotterdam.
And when I saw that place I thought immediately of the Raveparty at that place last year. It was HUGE! Mysteryland was cool!
Three days of raving, over more then 10,000 people, 275,000 WATT. It had all kinds of music: Thunderdome : hardcore,
House of love: club/mellow, The eclipse: the zone for the progessive trance- and techno- scene wich was cool indeed. I just
like to rave.
Finally I arrived at London airport . From the airport I took a cab to the Woolwich Ferry. The Woolwich ferry !? said the .
cabdriver. I said: Yes, what's wrong with il. He answered: What's right with it! When I arrived at the ferry it turned out it was
one old bitch of a ferry. Anyway, it was free for passengers. At the other side of the Thames (Theems) Codewalker would pick
me up. Since I had to wait for half an hour I started writing my postcards. I hate writing postcards but if I don't, friends and
relatives starts whining, you know what I am talking about. After writing the cards I took my special t-shirt out of my bag and
hang it up on the little wall and wa ited. On the front was a smiley printed with a phone in his hand, under the smiley was
printed: Phreaking is therapy.
On the back was printed:

FUCK THE PHONECOMPANY
KILL PTT TELECOM
A few minutes later codewalker showed up. We drove to his house and had spaghett i bolognese for dinner. Since the
conference was tommorow we went out that evening. We first picked up Paul. We rang at his door and called him up with the
cellphone at the same time, heh heh. Codewalker is an entertaining guy. Paul looked like a Hippy. I wanna be a hippy and I
wanna get stoned but I never knew why. I want to get high! He acted cool anyway. He sold his modem the day before . So we
called him mr. Nomodem, heh heh. We went first to a local pub. I don't like beer so I took the heavy stuff. I just had to taste
an English beer so I took a zip of Paul's beer. It tasted quite well, I thought English beer was tepid, but it wasn't. I was right
about the foam . English beer doesn't have foam and it's not real strong. After a few bacard ilwhiskey-cola's I wanted a
Safari-cola. Guess WHAT! They don't know about Safari. What a hell. They fixed me something with lemon. I don't know what
it was but it tasted good. There was also a karaoke show in the pub and it was codewalker's turn. He song: "Cherry baby" with
a very high pitched voice. He was good I I liked it :). And so did the everbody. The pub was nice indeed, it had someth ing
Dutch! But then suddenly, a quarter past eleven, they told everbody to get out. Finish your drink and go home! IMAGINE. How
rude. I just couldn't believe it. Normally I go out at that time! It appeared it was something typically British. Lucky enough
codewalker knew some hidden club. We walked to this club. Paul began to run accross the streets like a madman. He looked
funny! After a few times banging on the iron door it opened. We threw some darts and played pool had a drink and then
50 4th Quarter 1995 Blacklisted! 411
headed to the Westend in london city . Allr ight. We just walked around and ate some food . Most clubs were just too expensive
so we didn't go in or we were just not allowed too go in. I think we looked weird and very undressed , i.e. Paul ;)
Then somebody asked us in his club , club22 , we followed the man and went inside. It was some weird room inside a vague
build ing. They gave me wodka , but I thought it was a seven-up without bubbles . NO KIDDING ! I think I had drunk too much
that even ing. After the pool we went out. We just had a quick look in a smut shop and after that we took an expresso. We
decided to go hom e because it was late and the congress started early . While driving home , codewalker told pau l what GIF's
I had send him . The rest of the drive both told me all the time I was a sick Fucker L You tell me: What 's wrong with bestials,
fislfuckers , poo poo sex ???? After a few hours sleep ing we woke up at10 o'clock . The congress wou ld start at 10:00 so I
guess we were late . We did go with the train otherw ise we would stuck in a trafic jam . We arrived at half past eleven and had
to wait outs ide in a row . I hate wait ing. The congress wou ld, actuall y, start at twelve . So we were not late indeed. Of course
Hack-tic was presen t. I like them . They just know their stuff. I liked the Hack-tic mag . It's a shame they stopped . It was always
very funny and had also nice hack info in it every time.
The first day of access all areas sucked rea l hard . Most of the stuff wa s canc elled. So we hit the street most of time, jus t eating
and walk ing. Hack-tic told a story about how Hack-t ic started and somethin g about the political respons ibility of hackers . They
did it well . After that we went to the pay phones inside the uni and took the phonewires out of the ceiling . How phunny, the
wires were quite long . Too bad nobody had bring a phone with them. Paul went even home later that even ing, because access
all areas was a tragic happen ing. He was a lamer anyway , wa it it was wurse . He was a LAMER-WANNABE :) Codewa lker
and me just listened to emmanuel goldste in and after that we watched a movie about the SA, both were nice, and we went
home too . Before going to the train we ate steak . We decided to go to bed because the n i ~ ht before we had less sleep and
tommorow the conference would start early aga in. .
Finally it was sunday . Usually I sleep on Sundays , my record is 18:10 Not bad indeed huh? But now I was motivated to wake
up early: I looked forward too it, because BlllSF would show up. YES ! Just like the first day, a lot (the best) of the programm
was canceled . First an old guy told us someth ing about hacking in his days , it was nice to listen to it. Second a guy tried to
expla in someth ing about Pagers and FSK. Actually he did not. In the beg ining he was bend over and mumbled all the time in
the mic. Then rop conne cted the long wire to the mic, so he cou ld talk more loudly and he was able to show some thing and
talk about it. Ofcourse everbody app laused for this Hitec move of rop . A few minutes later fire brake out , i.e. the firealarm went
off. Somebody was smo king in the uni and that caused alarm. First everbody thought it was a joke, but then everbody went
out. Outside were lots of kids whit cell phones. One kid walked to codewalke r and said that there was somebody on the phone
for him, the kid grabbed another cellphone out of his jacket and started to scan the phoneconversation, heh heh ! Kids ......
That day there was also a movie crew on the set near the un i. Nobody was allowed to get there , but guess who were
aliowed .......Between these two speakers we went to a market place, I had an English breakfas t: Chips with eggs and bacon ,
heavy ! CW had even beans with it. We sat above on some kind of balcony and watched peop le. The re was a guy who had
pink hair, red lipstick. a beard . skirt. pink shoes and he had also a little bag on his back . Besides him was walk ing his smooth
boyfriend . Polly and Molly . Man , what a sick bastards. YUCK ! Everyt ime we saw woman wo looked strange (big tits. fat. etc .)
we said: CREDITZ !(for my account on the sleaze BBS, you know !).
Finally it was BiliSF it's turn . Before he begun I talked with a German guy which was a true phreaker (contact me on AD dude ).
Boy. he knew a lot. At least more then I do. He had also many expierence with R2. COOOOOO L! Unfortunately Bill could tell
us not all the cool stuff cause he was afraight for gett ing busted. Anyway it didn't matter what he sa id, everbody was excited ,
HEY I WAS . Some people wanted to make pictures . but he didn't liked that. A few hours before I had make a picture of him,
he even posed for me ! COOOl picture Bil L! In the auditorium everbody was allowed to ask bill questions . The german
phreaker besides me asked bill if it was possible to mislead the phonecompany somehow that they could not find out that he
was dialing 10.000 tollfree numbe rs every month . Good question! I always thought I was the only one who dialed 10,000 times
a mont h. The answer was : NO ! Somebody asked the difference between Caller ID and ANI. Aga in good quest ion: CalierlD
is used by customers and ANI is used by the phoneco mpany . When Billsf finished everybody applaused . He was the best after
all! Outs ide the uni I and some other phreakers talked more ope n minded with Bill. He is the coolest dude I ever met. He told
us abou t a guy who he knew wh ich could decode R2 tones with his ears and played the phoneline like a Steinway. COO L! Bill
told us also that he once was called by an unknown phreak and when the phreak hanged up he had a tune of trunked
saltelites.. kaploink kaplo ink...COOOL! .
He is still wondering who that person was . I denie everyth ing. Accord ing to Bill, India is phreak coun try number one ! What
else did he said.... Hrnrnm, 011 I remember. Some time ago it was poss ible to make free AT&T calls just by typing in a random
phonen umber and using ABCD tones as PIN. OUCH ! that's rea l COOOO L. For the Dutch phrea ks: Brasil is still phreakable
(three tones !!!!!!) Bill didn't gave me the freque ncies .....Also. Italy is phreakable. I never knew that. did you????? One of the
phreaks told him that he had a toll free number for Yugoslav ia. Bill totally freaked out for the first five minutes. I never saw
somebody who was just so incredib le happy only to hear this. Oh wow . that's so coo l. Wow . OOOO h.... he said. He acted like
somebody gave him a winning lotery ticket of 10 mill ion bux. I lOVE YOU BILL ! YOU ARE THE FUCKING BEST ! Bill please .
write some stories for us. Anyway we had some more cool chatting with him: I just gave him my floppy wich contained some
files of me. I hope he liked it. EEK EEK !
I don't rememeber what else we did that day . So I guess it was very boring . I do remember I saw the video "unauth orized
access" . I had already seen it on Hack -tic's fare well party this year . It was cool. Especially the part where Billsf made a bb call
from a dutch payp hone to the states through Malasia. Everbo dy at hack-tic's party started yelling and scream ing when bill
hang up the phone and received his quarte r back . Phreak ing is Therapy !
So AAA was over that evening and we went home . I had bring some UK AT&T -phonenumbers with me wich I found on a
Vo icema il system of AT&T . We ward ialed a total scan of 100 numbers quickly and fou nd some interesting numbers including
an at&t modem . YEAH ! It was some kind of a AT&T super PBX. Since we were not real in the mood for hacking we quit it.
Codewalker would crack it later on. I just cop ied a lot of CW his harddisk and we went to bed. The next day I was brought to
the Ferry and decided to walk to the airport since I had plenty of time. At the airport I spend my last money on a diner. For
some strange reason the douane checked me all over I had to show everyth ing in my bag . Once again in the plane . I asked
the stewardess if I could make a picture of the cabin . That's ok she said. It w,orks every time. In the cabine I asked mr.
kamikaze if he could do a looping for me. They told me to get out....GRMBL. .. I grabbed my walkman and listned to a copy of
"hands on Yello - rem ixes".

Product Review - Video
How to build a RED BOX
Reviewed by Alexander Tol stoy
Many readers have asked the question "How do I build a Red Box?" Recently the staff at Blacklisted!411 had
the opportunity to review a product that answers this question in videotape form. The video, "How to build a
Red Box" is marketed by the East America Company in Englewood , New Jersey
We popped the tape in our trusty VCR and had a look see. The video takes a viewer step by step through the
entire Red Box process including disassembly of the Radio Shack Pocket Dialer , Crystal Replacement,
Programming, and Use of the compl eted Red Box. The video follows a logical progression of all steps needed
to make a working Red Box from start to finish, and included basic troubleshooting techniques if the unit
doesn't work correctly . The information provided was basically correct and would be easy for a beginner to
follow and understand. We however have several complaints on the product that need mentioning.
The video appears to have been made with a very low budget (understandably considering the topic) and has
many technical problems. It appear s that the entire dialog was overdubed without any sort of audio mixer,
using a microphone with a simple on and off switch. This unfortunately causes an audio pop that occurs every
time the mic is turned on or off. Additio nally, the entire soldering scene is exceedingly long and demonstrated
rather poor soldering techniques . The video spends over 10 minutes describing what should be less than a
two minute operation . About three quarters of this section could be edited out and still deliver the required
data.
Overall the video achieves the purpose of taking a beginner through the entire Red Box process, from start to
finish. The information was basically correct and is easy to follow . We give this tape a B+ Grade for Technical
Accuracy , a B- for Composition , and a C- for Video Production Quality. The tape is available through the East
America Company, 156 Sherwood Place, Englewood , New Jersey 07631 TEL 201-871-9172 or EMAIL
76501,3071@compuserve .com Price (As of 9/1/95) $39 US + $5 US Shipping and Handling .

of the picture, left of the large black object (which is the CPU for the device) . The crystal is
replaced with a 6.5MHz crystal. That's really the whole technical process to converting this
device into a "red box." In photo number 2 (pictured above right), we have a shot of the RS

Each phone company has a way to dial long distance numbers through them with certain number patterns/c odes . One
of these codes is 102880 . This number allows you to charge money, while calling a long distance, to a third number.
This process fairly well-known, but I felt I should give this knowledge out to the ones who have yet to know this. You
used to be able to do this on a public pay phone, but now you can only use it on private/home phones . Also,It only
works in some area codes, but that will be found out by testing the followi ng script with your local phone company.
This is what you do:
Dial: 102880
Recording: AT&T , Please dial the number you wish to call, or hold for an operator.
Dial: L.J_-__
Recording: AT&T , Please say 'calling card', '3rd number' , or 'collec t calling' now.
You say: 3rd Number
Record ing: AT&T, Please dial the 3rd party number , or hold for an operator.
Dial: 416-453-xxxx. The xxxx is any 4 numbers , the 416-453-xxxx is a canadian number. The xxxx should be
switched every time . ego1st call- xxxx=1111 , 2nd call- xxxx=2222, etc.
After this process, you will hopefully get connected to the person who you are calling. This system is fairly safe, but I
use caller ill block (·67) anyway . Remember , there are many of us who want to use this system , so please don't abuse
it. It will be shut down if you do.
Isn't it ironic th at we're putting this info In this Issue? No doubt, used a similar tactic
when 3rd party bill ing a bunch of 1 minute calls to our numbers. Haha.. that's pretty funnyl Anyhow,
this won't always work if the number you are trying to charge to has 3rd party call block on it. Now,
in no way does this mean that this particular billing method will *not* work. Oh, there are quite a few
comp anies and carriers that will stili let the charge go through - and the call, for that matter. Wow, this
is som e fun stuff....iIIegal, of course. Seems like all the fun stuff is illegal.. Anyhow, we can't really
suggest using thIs but , heck, it's for information purposes, righ t?1 Enjoy.

Software Review
AOHell v3.0 by Da Chronic
Review by Doctor J .
Requirements:
Windows 3. 1 or greater,
America Online v1.5 or greater
VBRUN300.DU
I've recently had the opportun ity to review this great program. It really serves no other purpose , other than to wreak havoc on
the poor saps that actually enjoy AOL.
There are a number of features that this program contains that "enhance" the AOL software in a number of ways . You still
must have the AOL software to use this program, as well as VBRUN300 .DLL, which is available on any decent shareware
board. Basically, what AOHell does, is it runs on top of AOL. You are then able to call up any of the AOHell functions by
clicking on the AOHell button that places itself in the title bar of your AOL screen. There is also another program that comes
with AOHellthat creates accounts. You can run this program seperately , or you may call it up through the AOHell program .
The account generator program works wonderfully. You simply click on the "generate all" checkbox, and then click on the Start
button. You must be connected to AOL before you can use this function. After that, you may simply kick back, and watch .
Once it is completed , you may use your new AOL account.
Most of the features in this program are geared to harassing people in the chat rooms. Included is an AI Bot, which can be set
up to generate responses to triggered events in the room, which can be a specified word or a specific person. There's also a
number of macro features, which can be set to exit and re-enter the room at specified intervals(to reset the chat room's
occupants' IGNORE preferences), generate ASCII pictures, roll the dice feature in the AOL rooms , send a text file from your
computer, or simply scroll the lines up the screen. My personal favorite is the one that draws a stick figure(you may also have
it write a person's name right below the figure) and it draws a large revolver pointed at the stick figure's head. Most of these
features have only minor annoyance values, but when used over and over, it gets really irritating really fast. There is
also a feature that enables you to 'b ust into" a room that you normally cannot get into. This works wonderfully, and the longest
I have had to wait for it to do its thing was less than 30 seconds. If you feel like chatting and doing something else(l ike, say,
leeching some cool shareware warezzZZz from the AOL archives) then you might want to try out the DownChat feature. Of
course, you can already do this in version 2.5 of AOL's software, but if you're using an earlier version, it is useful. You may
also opt to fire up the text manipulation feature, which makes it look like a certain user said something in the chatroom. \NtIat
this function really does, is it sends a message from you, spaces until the end of the line, and then on the next line types the
user's screen name and the message that you wish them to say on the next line, making it look like they typed it. Il looks quite
convincing.
In Addition to the chat room harassment , you also have a few 1Mand tricks as well. There's an 1Mmanager, which enables
you to block out irritating IMs from other users, but still be able to recieve IMs from a certain person. It sends a gener ic
response that you define yourself to the other users. If you receive an 1Mfrom someone that offends you (how dare they?)
then you may use the Punt feature to essentially kick them offline. Now, the Punt feature doesn't actually kick them off of AOL.
\NtIat it does is: it sends a bunch of IMs to them at once (450 to be more exact) and more often than not, this forces their
computer to lock up, and they must reboot. Thus, they are kicked offline. Also, there's a feature called the "CC/PW Fisher."
\NtIatthis does, is send generic IMs to persons in your chatroom explaining that you are with the billing dept. of AOL, etc. and
that you're having difficulty with their account, blah blah blah, and that you need their credit card information or account
password. Of course, to do this you would need to use a screen name that sounds official, like BillingAOL or CreditAOL or
whatever suits your fancy.
If chat rooms aren't your thing, and IMs get old, you can always try out the E-mail functions . There's a Mail Bomb feature ,
which lets you send a few thousand E-mails to a user of your choosing, or you may simply opt to getting a user's account
cancelled, by using the Fake Forward feature and telling an AOL staff member that this individual said certain things. For
sending email privately on the AOL system, there's an Encrypter/Decrypter function which encodes your mail so that only
those that have the password can read the text.
AOHell also enables you to quickly get to the FTP services and leech to your heart's content with having to bother with all of
the needless screens that you have to weed through to get to it normally. If you feel like doing a bit of shopping online, feel
free to test out the Credit Card number generator and send a few goodies to some people you hate.
All in all, AOHell is a great program if you just feel like harassing the crap out of people. If you want free stuff, you shou ld know
better than to try to get it through AOL in the first place. I enjoyed using AOHell , and got many great laughs everytime I was
kicked off. You should be able to find this goodie on any semi-decent HPACV board or warez board. It's about aOOk and
shouldn't hurt your credits too much. Enjoy...
Editors note: AOL has recently sped up the Credit Card verifying process, and to make accounts, one who wants to
use AOL(at their own risk) should try using a valid credit card account (We must remind you that credit card fraud
carries a hefty penaltyl). After this, things should run along smoothly.

Bonus Gift Trick - Pick a land with plenty of water In It, but do not pick an island. Make sure you pick a land
with water near the middle. Now, create roads, find the middle of the land and make a cross with these roads
all the way to the edge of the map of you land. Do not connect the cross in the middle of the water, or the trick
will not work . Once you make a cross with th roads near a body of water, you will be able to build
anywhere from two to five casinos or amusem nt parksl More Maps - Select "Start New City" on the menu
screen, then choose any map number between 1 and 999. "Ok" the map you want. Go into the map and
choose the "Go to Menu" icon at the top of the scr en. Do NOT save this. Choose "Start New City" again on
the menu screen. Wait, and the same map that you chose earlier will tum out to be a different map with the
same number l This works all the way from map 1 to 999, giving you a total for 1998 instead of the regular 999.

Every month we have tons of
people sending us faxes,
email, snail mail and phone
call....asking us what a red
box is and how to make one
or where to get the parts
from, etc.. Well, for all of
those who are always calling
us about this... THIS is for
YOU!
RED BOX - A device, when
used correctly, will defraud
the phone company's pay
phones. It does this by
producing the coin insertion
tones which are usually
produced by the pay phone
itself. These tones are
received at the phone
company and then
deciphered. When
deciphered, the phone
company allows a call to be
placed on the payphone at
which the tones were
produced. These fraudulent
devices will NOT work on
COCOTS (customer owned
coin operated telephone),
however.
HOW DO YOU MAKE
ONE? There are several
ways to make one. All that is
needed is a circuit which will
produce the correct tones
required to fool a payphone
into thinking you inserted a
coin, when you actually did
NOT insert a coin. The
easiest way to make a red
box is to simply convert a
pocker tone dialer into one.
Replace the crystal inside of
it with a 6.5Mhz (or a
6.5536Mhz - not correct, but
the tones created with this
one falls within the allowable
tolerances of the tone
required to designate coin insertion.) crystal. Once the crystal is replaced, program the pocket tone dialer with
five *'s... this will now be your red box tone which emulates an approximate quarter insertion tone set. Each
time you "play" this tone into the mouthpiece of a payphone* the payphone will be fooled into thinking you
actuall inserted a uarter. Pre slick, huh? *there are instances when this will NOT work.

Cable Tags and Other Good Stuff!
Paragon cable and many other cable systems use these
small tags on subscr ibers lines when durin g new
connects , reconnects, disconnects and service upgrades,
etc.. The tech or installer usually includes data such as the
date in mmddyy format , a quickie description of the action
taken (such as "DISCO' for a disconnection or NC for new
connect or RC for reconnecl.. .."add
Disney"..."remove Disney"..etc - you get the
idea.) Their tech. number which is usually a 4
digit number. The tags are orange in color and
the information is wrillen on either side of the
tag with black permanent ink mark ers. The
colors of the tags vary from time to time,
though. These tags can be purchased
from any number of places. One of the
most popular places is Seton
Identification Products, located in New
Haven, CT. Their number is (800)243-
6624 . The part number is M4837 .
Specify orange tags. They're $59.25 for
quant ity 100. You should call these people and
request a FREE catalog. They have TONS of useful
stuff, such as the previous mentioned tags and other
types of tags usefu l for oth er utility compan ies
needs. So, get with it and ask them for a catalog .
Why not? It's FREE!! Do we need to say any more?
I'm sure this picture looks all to familiar to our readers. And it
should! If you've been staying with us all this time, you should be
looking UP a lot more often than not, these days. Some notes to
think over. MOST of the cable companies still use the same old
~~~~~~~~~- method of gell ing the cable signal to their subscribers - via coaxial
cables...which is easy enough to tap into and get for FREE - which
is against the law, actually. Anyhow, a few cable companies have
been actively updating their transmiss ion lines to FIBER OPTIC
cable , which is a booger to tap into and steal, compared to its
I!I~,~ coaxial counterpart . This is great for the cable compan ies and
....
\ they consider it a win-win situation.. They feel better knowing that
--- - . . . . it'll be harder for people to steal their service, plus their service will
be a lot BETTER. Clearer picture and a lot more possibilities. Heh.
