Chapter I. IntroDuction To The Phreakers Manual
ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒ
After long deliberations, I have decided to compile a Phreakers Term
Dictionary for those who find it difficult to learn all the ]<-Rad Terms.
This is a two part listing. The first part is Chapter II, the Phreak terms
and descriptions/definitions. The second part, Chapter III, is the full box
listing and "what do they do?", and "where they work" sections. Why did I
write this, you ask? Well, did you ever call a board and get a corny 12 page
infoform asking you all these technical questions? That's why. Anyway, watch
for future updates, and remember, -Versitality is Victory-.
