STATIC BOX 
----------

By: The Usurper and The Raver



------------ 
Introduction 
------------

We were looming at the Aqua Box plans and we saw something  about
static  on long-distance calls in the file.  It said that you get
static because the voltage is not getting  regulated  very  well.
So  why  not  have a box that keeps the voltage regulated so that
you can avoid static?  This would be very useful when  calling  a
BBS with an extender that flakes-out and gives you garbage on the
screen.  So here it is...


--------- 
Materials 
---------

  1. (2) Size  'AA'  Batteries,  and  holder  (You  could  use  a
     adapter, so you won't have to buy batteries...ex. A 3,6,9,12 
     volt  adapter in one!)

  2. (1) Two fone line connector (Has two plugs from one)

  3. (1) Modular plug w/6 inches of colored wire connected.

  4.     2 feet of telephone wire

  5. (1) 100k Resistor

  6.     Soldering Iron

  7.     Solder.....get all of this at Radio Shack of course!

Have your phone connected to one of the plugs, then if  you  want
to use the Static box plug it into the other one and put the bat-
teries in the case.  That will remove static.  This will be  use-
ful  in using 2400 baud on an extender (because of shitty lines).
You may want to make the voltage 9 volts, with a 9  volt  battery
holder.  What the hell, make two, one for 3 volts (Normal stuff),
and one for 9 volts (Special connections like 2400 baud on a  ex-
tender).   Be sure not to leave it hooked up, because it may make
your phone act funny, and people may not get calls through!   You
could  use  even  a bigger voltage, an use it as "Lock 'n Trace",
and make some asshole squirm!
