The Lineman’s Handset			     
			By Magma


	Ok, this is fairly simple stuff but not everyone knows this so here 
it goes. To create a lineman’s handset all you need is an old phone, and a 
pair of wire clippers. Take the phone slice off the modular plug, strip the 
red (ring)and green (tip) wires apply the alligator clips and your set.
It should look like this:

_______     / green wire (tip)       
      |    /    
Phone |========>----<   - alligator clips attached to the 2 wires
______|   \             
	   \ Red wire (ring)


How to use it:

	To use your new little toy all you need to do is find a Telco box or 
even the little gray box on the side of someone’s House. Open it up, and 
attach the alligator clips to the respective prongs.  (Other Telco boxes are 
explained in another textfile on GHU.)  

	The uses for the lineman’s handset are too many to write down. A lot 
of people use them for find the ANI of a number, placing long distance calls, 
setting up conferences etc.  Depending on the area staying on the line and having 
a long conversation is not a smart thing to do. When you do leave the box make 
sure that you leave it as you found it. You do not want the local Telco knowing 
that you were there.
