   Little green boxes,you know those boxes on the side of the road with  
   your local telephone companys logo on it. Now,these boxes are more 
   important than people might think. They are the routers of the lines 
   they hold the lines that come up from underground and hold the ringing 
   generators. Now there are many types of boxes,the most significant boxes 
   are the LORAIN ringing generators,they are by far the most expensive. 
   They hold the fieber optic ducts,which are ran in underground by the 
   local company. They are there because optics cannot carry electricity, 
   or more importantly the standard lines.(electric) They recieve the light 
   pulses and convert them into electrivcal signals which are then sent to  
   your home. They are like one big computer,has several 'cards' in it,which 
   holds about 100homes per card(As my information supplies). There is around 
   200volts DC power at 125amps. So there is enough to kill you if you are 
   not careful. To find these boxes just drive around,you'll find them in  
   sort of a small cement drive-way with a fence around it,but one side is  
   open,sometimes you'll find small cement poles around it. There is generaly 
   2 or 3 other boxes by it. One box is called a cabinet,it looks like a  
   small double doored refrigerator,and when opened has many,many lines 
   which are plugged into small connectors,this is the pairs comming out 
   of the trunk connected to the output of the LORAIN generater. Then you 
   have your power conduit. Don't mess with it,it is brown and has a red  
   light on it and has many warnings. Leave it. The next is usually a MTU 
   for the local houses. If they are within 1 block of the generater,now 
   we all know what the MTU does..(U.C.P.H. #4 'Phreakin' While you sleepin') 

      Now in the Cabinet the is usually a spool of wire. This wire is very 
   very helpful,there is usualy 400 feet of wire which comes in very handy 
   when Phreakin while people sleepin'. When you do this alot,you can obtain 
   a fairly large amount of wire(I myself have around 6000 feet of wire.. Yes 
   over a mile.) which can make 'beige' boxing a great thing to do. You can 
   string in as many lines as you want,double them and give the operaters  
   hell. The next thing is dis-assembling the LORAIN generater to down the 
   people who have the phones connected to it. It makes great revenge people 
   usually don't have a phone for 11 or 12 hrs. And the phone company pays  
   out the ass for it. Now there is one thing that is of utmost importance 
   when dealing with lorain ringing gernaters, THEY HAVE ALARMS! They have 
   silent door alarms. It isn't a great huge emergency the first time one 
   is opened and the police won't come and arrest you. But the phone company 
   knows as soon as you open the doors that it has been opened. So make it 
   quick,and always do this really late at night. Now,the best way to down it 
   is to just pull the power supplys out,they are on either the left or right 
   side of the generater like so:

     When downing the generaters you must move fast,because after the generater 
     has stopped responding they move fast. They don't know somebody has 
     tampered with it though,for all they know it was hit by a car. And was  
     demolished. But once they find out they will wait for you. And they *WILL* 
     get you,so if you do it. Do it carefully. And remember once is the only  
     it will work. Well,thats my artical for 10-94, Later all.. And 
     remember this is for entertainment only.
