Re: Blue Box Plans & hacker bbs's
Thanks for the tip! My friend is good with electronics and he is
building a red box using all chips and shit. He found out some equation
to use so when a capacitor fills up and then discharges to a resistor,
using a certain equation u can generate frequencys. I also found out
that you can do the same with QBasic. I wish there was a way to blue
box, but it seems that there's not. Thanks for everything.
