Hehe...... I know what you mean....I was reading the other day about how to tap into payphones and run a wire to another location. Of course, you may be able to find a phone somewhere in Germany that allows this but none in the US. Regardless, most of the information on phone phreaking has evolved the same as with IT in general. Of course, the POTS system (analog lines) has pretty much stayed the same the last couple of years. There are a lot of interesting new technologies such as DSL and VOIP that I think everybody should look into...most people that are interested in networking would probably eat it up. If you are looking for a tutorial on phreaking in general? Hmmmm, no can do....I can give you some ideas on how to increase security for an integrated solution or maybe some fun tricks you can play with the phone systems. I think that would probably be played out best on IRC since there will be to many questions to answer for a post. That is, of course, if the chat nazi doesn't have me shot first J/K Louie. Well, I'll be around.....I'll keep in eye out for any good tutorials on telecom if you like....of course, I recommend just grabbing a good book (like telecommunications survival guide). Besides that, you would be hard pressed to find direct information on specifics like you would with TCP/IP or whatnot....but I'll take a look.


Cordially,
