TALKING ABOUT BLUEBOXING
TALKING ABOUT BLUEBOXING
________________________
HERE'S A RIDDLE: EVERYONE PROMISES TO
KEEP IT FOR HIS OWN, BUT EVERYBODY
USES IT. SOLUTION: A C64 BLUEBOX PRG!
So far, so good. It was in early April
when I saw a Bluebox program on Amiga
at a friend's home. As I also prefered
calling around WITHOUT paying, I deci-
ded to code a Bluebox on my little 64.
No problem, after playing around with
the timings a bit I was able to call
everywhere I wanted to without paying.
At the moment, it sadly seems like
some people are lively spreading a
Bluebox coded by a member of a former
wellknown C64 group.
No problem, if everyone is conscious
WHAT he is using and especially WHICH
number he is boxing. For the more or
less initiated persons: if YOU blubox
5555555555 for example, I wish you:
HAPPY BILLING!
HAPPY BILLING!
______________
I bet a bottle of MALIBU that THIS #
is monitored by the Federations.
When I still was in possess of a modem
I used to call QSD/LOAD a lot. That is
a great multichat system in France,
acessable via Tymnet, NUA 555555555555
Anyway, 6O% of the users were Amiga
freax, using one of the American ud's.
Naturally via Bluebox. Talking to many
different guys, I figured out that
they ALL bluboxed the same German ser-
vice line. Very great! Naturally the
owner of the line got a sky-high bill
and complained at the German Telekom.
So the Bluebox system for France died.
Nowadays, they all bluebox American
service lines, but instead of finding
a very own # (It's SO easy!), they
again mostly use the same #'s. STUPID!
Man, there has been and IS excessive
gossip about the German Telekom trying
to FUCK blueboxers; these are the most
spread rumours:
- German Telekom records the first
three minutes of a O13O service
call
- if they catch you, they wait some
months and present you such a large
bill that you better emigrate to
Alaska
- In Frankfurt,where all O13O-lines
go up to the sky, there are sixty
people who make spotchecks on every
O13O call.
Some people keep telling that it is
impossible to call people to account
for blueboxing because if you box,
the fraud happens in America and not
in your mothercountry.
What a CRAP! I talked to a lawyer,
and he told me that if the possesor
of the service line gets to know YOU
thru the Telekom, they can sue YOU
and YOU are looking pretty LAME then.
So, better be CAREFUL. Whenever you
use a Bluebox, don't stay on longer
than 1O minutes (if you use it from
your HOME phone). Use calling cards
instead, if you are initiated you
should know how to call Germany with
them.
I also talked to a clerk of the
German Telekom, he told me that they
know about the shit but they wouldn't
care. Personally, I do not believe
that because I cannot imagine that
either AT&T or the Telekom are
very happy about the fact that YOU
don't have to pay for calls. I guess
they are just waiting for someone
they can sue for excessive boxing,
and have a test case with him, so
that everyone is frightened.
Always think about that it's maybe
YOU they catch. And also try to be
sure you have enough cash to pay the
bill then.
The best thing to do is still like
me and my friends do:
Whenever you really HAVE to bluebox
(long distance calls, imagine your
girlfriend is on vacation in Italy),
take a good taperecorder and record
the dialing sequence. Now go to a
phone booth, possibly in a small
village near you with few habitants.
It's more difficult to trace you if
you are calling out of a very small
net. Don't stay on too long.
Help to make blueboxing useable as
long as possible, don't use it to
call boards or scanning PBX'es.
Use credit cards, that's the safest
way you can call without paying.
Whenever you bluebox, choose a line
where NO person lifts the receiver.
Choose a FAX# or a VMB#; there are
dozens of them, just try it out.
You know, as long as not ONE line
is frequented by ALL of us, but if
different lines are used, the thing
will surely work LONGER.
So you do YOURSELF a favour, too!
____________________________________
Anyway, here's a short info about
blueboxing for the completely unini-
tiated persons:
Blueboxing is as easy as dialing nor-
mal, the only difference is that you
don't tap the keys on yar phone, but
your computer dials for you.
You simply call a German service line
that leeds to America or Japan.
Just wait for the satelite-click and
play your 'Organ' into the receiver.
That's it.
The owner of the service line is
BILLING this call, even he did not
lift the receiver.
Another cool thing is, that the line
isnt busy if someone differrent calls
and the owner doesn't recognize
anything, because he can use the line
as if it was okay.
Some last words, though I know that
the world won't listen:
If you possess a Bluebox, then use it
but don't SPREAD it. The fewer people
box, the longer it will last and be
at our disposal to make long distance
calls for free.
Think! You know that EVERYBODY has a
'best' friend. Noone will hesitate
to give YOUR proggy out to his 'best'
friend. So, if you have a box or
you wrote a box on your own (like me)
possess it for YOURSELF and be happy.

get some attention, because you won't
find something like heavymetalacidhiphop
rap here, but some serious kind of music
if you show a little bit of good taste!
This will be a very subjective article,
but I can only review the music that I
do listen to...

Ha! I really love this one! It's my
favourite at the moment! It's the best
record of this Australian band (up to
now...)! Every one of the 14 songs is a
great piece of music, the style is a
soft one, the melodies are catchy, I
definitely can't say which song I like
most! This album is a real must for
everyone!

DEEDS NOT WORDS SOUTHERNAIRES
________________________________________
The debut album of this new band from
Great Britain is already a perfect piece
of music. I would define their style as
a mixture of pop,blues and jazz and it
fits together as vodka and lemon! (Sorry
for this comparison...) The 16 (!) years
old singer does a great job! Also here
I can't say which song I like most, be-
cause really every one is great!
All in all a massive piece of music!

This record contains his typical style
and most of the songs are great! It's
not everyones style, but for those who
like his "rough" voice, his (sometimes)
extraordinary style and his lyrics this
CD is a must-buy!
Some of my favourite songs on it are:
"The other side of summer", "How to be
dumb" and "So like candy"!

________________________________________
As I got this record into my hands, I
first couldn't believe my eyes! All
songs are written and produced by the
wellknown Rap-Star and Pepsi-Drinker
MC HAMMER! I never thought that this guy
is able to compose something else than
stupid rap songs...
The music is a kind of soft soul style
with some rap elements (wonder why...)
None of the songs is really bad but
there are only some that are really
something special, like the smooth
"there's nothing like this" or the fan-
tastic acapella song "fine" which does
not contain even one instrument, but
several strange voices and sounds,
done by only one man!
Anyway It's worth to buy!
But remember: If you like MC HAMMER,
you won't like this!

Well... what can I say... He still got
the blues! This guy Is already a kind
of legend. He could be my Grandpa (If I
would be black...) and he still makes
fantastic, powerful, funky music!
I really admire this man!
Even if not every song on this CD is
worth to hear, there are still some
stuning pieces like "Move on" or "It's
time to love" which make it a solid
piece of music!

NATO AND STEEL PARTY
NATO AND STEEL PARTY
____________________
THIS IS A LITTLE REPORT ABOUT THE
"DEAD DATA PARTY'91" (9.8.91-11.08.91)
THE PARTY-INVITATION PROMISED:
DEMO COMPETITION,CHEAP BOOZE,NEW PD SOFT
STEREO SET,COMPUTER ROOM,SPORTS FIELD,
MODEM LINE,BARBECUE,SOCCER COMPETITION
SPECIAL GUEST: MANFRED TRENZ
On the 9.8. I went to the station at
Hildesheim were some NATO and STEEL guys
should drive us to the party-place. When
I arrived I saw only 2 persons: MORON of
PARADIZE and TOPIC of F4CG. We were
waiting for about half an hour until the
STEEL members arrived. TOPIC killed many
Twix and Snickers and MORON asked some
people if they go to the party. At 18.OO
REAPER/ex-PANDORA arrived at the station
and we were driven to the party place.
Shock! We were the onlyones! After a
short while 3 guys with an Archimedes
arrived,later on also some members of
VANITY showed up and placed their com-
puters in the small room. Also YUP&BURP
and RED WIZ of OFFENCE came a little bit
later. We had already killed some beers
when ARROGANCE,RAZE,MAJOR X,NIGGA,FLASH/
RADIUS,DEF JEFF/CONTROL and a few others
came. Then these guys started a boozing-
competition. NIGGA was the first to puke
(into a sink). Finally only MAJOR X and
RAZE were left fighting for the first
place. RAZE won when MAJOR X gave up.
ARROGANCE the #1 boozer(=puker) puked
while some guys tried to bring him back
to the tents. The next day he smelled a
bit weird because he had puked a couple
of times inside his tent. At 12.OO NUM-
SKULL and TALENT of NATO and WHOPPER of
PROTON arrived. They presented their new
NATO intro for several times. BURP even
voted for NATO in the demo charts. At
3.OO all guys tried to catch some sleep.
On the next day many HYSTERIC members
showed up. Also GADGET and A-MAN/ACTION
came. A-MAN released some cool musics
and digis. Also BREGO of TRIAD bought
the GAMERS GUIDE and some cracks,so
everybody wanted to get the wares and
many guys copied the disks. STEEL tried
to finish their demo but they failed.
Also ARROGANCE could not finish BILD
ZEITUNG in time. The next day STREET-
TUFF of HYSTERIC was drunk and sleeping
on the ground when many flies gathered
and crwaled round on his face. Some guys
from the party put all kind of trash and
empty bottles around him so the flies
got more and more. Later the ACTION and
VANITY guys left and so did MORON,TOPIC,
REAPER and me. We drove back home to
Hannover,REAPER and I went to my place
and copied our disks.
This was the first party I have ever
been to,so it was nice to meet all these
people once... But all in all the party
was pretty lame because only 5O people
showed up and NONE of the many promises
on the invitation (demo competition,
barbecue etc.) were kept!

SCAT of REBELS
TRUE CONFESSION
TRUE CONFESSION
_______________
SORCERESS HERE... TODAY THERE HAS BEEN
A FILE RELEASED BY BOD/TALENT ABOUT ME,
AND I AM HERE WITH THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT
HAS BEEN GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENE.
Well,well... Where do I start? It all
seems to start when BOD is around...
As most of you know, me and EXCELL have
been on bad terms with the BOD for some
time now. Both for different reasons...
It became a posting game to us. One
where BOD never responded to. (WHY?)
Maybe he can't handle himself in a war.
Maybe he feels safe hiding behind his
monitor where he can live in his own
little dream world...
And we all know what kind of dreams he
has... Anyhow... I got an E-mail on
'Channel Zero' from Darren saying:
"Let's try to get this settled in
private..." (I guess he was embarresed
about a revealing post I made about him
in the subs.) I said: "Ok,call me and
we will talk!"
And so he did!
And here is where it starts...
d=bHe called me up and we talked about
'o'past differences,between him and me,
/_\and him and EXCELL... To make a long
story short,BOD realizes he didn't do
the right thing by EXCELL and mentions
that AYCEE was against him and EXCELL
being friends...
At this time she is on a vacation so she
wasn't here to change his decision. He
made a public apology to EXCELL and my-
self and we made peace. I continued to
talk with Darren and spent some hours on
the phone with him...
(BAD MOVE ON MY PART!)
In the file Darren released called
"CONFESSIONS" we see Darren making lame
and false statements. (Spare me!) You
see,being on the phone with BOD means
you have to listen to him doing,what
he calls his FAVOURITE THING:
..MASTURBATING..
><MASTURBATING><
These are his own words when asked what
his favourite thing to do is!
If I'm going to get this story correct,
then we would all agree I must say it
as it is,so as embarresing as it is for
me... And believe me... IT IS!! I will
go on. I have been told many things
while talking to this (GUY??).
Some of them were:
-While sleeping at a friend's house,he
peeks in and watches his friend's
wife sleeping (naked)!
-While traveling on a bus or train he
does (his favourite thing?!?). I have
that confession on tape!
I KNOW THIS IS SICKENING
I KNOW THIS IS SICKENING...
-He has told me about the times when
he was in school,that he used to hide
behind bushes and do (Ahem... You know
what...) while watching girls in gym-
suits take gym-class!
Notice,every situation he mentioned
involves the risk of getting caught.
Ok... We have an idea what the 'BOD' is
like on the phone... Now we will go into
some of the things he has told me and
then denied. One time he told me he had
recieved a call from AYCEE... I guess,
she was asking him what's been up while
she was away,he mentioned he hd made
peace with me and EXCELL...
Her response to that in his words were:
"Watch and see,he will get you worse
next time,and use your apology against
you."
As I said,this is what he said to me.
Who knows what is true?!
BOD had mentioned to her that I (me) was
on a conference,where Paul (XXX) was
also on... Why he has to mention what I
do is beyond me... But In HIS words her
response was: "If he ever talks on a
call,or conference to her (me) again,I
want nothing more to do with him..."
(Sorry Paul,for bringing up your name,
but it was what I was told by Darren.)
There were more things said to me. It's
hard to remember everything,but when she
came home,I called her board and left
some mail,asking what her problem was.
I also left some of the statements
Darren had made to me aswell.
They must have been on the phone,because
within 3 minutes after I logged off the
call came. I was angry at the time,
because I had no reason to think BOD
would make up such lies and I believed
the things he told me were to be the
truth. I wasn't in the mood for any
lame excuses... BUT THEY CAME ANYHOW!
Darren denied everything... And so did
she... I expected that,so it was no
surprise. I told them both: "You can
lie about things that I hear from a
third person but you can't deny what
you have told me yourself." And so the
story goes... The next day there is a
file uploaded to all the boards,called
"CONFESSION/BOD"... ..
><
Only,what was put in the file was a
fantasy of a small boy with an even
smaller ego...
(AND MAYBE A FEW STRETCH MARKS CAUSED
BY ABUSING HIS FAVOURITE THING!)
As weird as the statements I wrote about
seem,they are all written in the same
way as I was told about them by BOD...
And exactly as they happened! I will not
ignore any false lies said about me.
My last words for now will be:
Darren,you may want to think that girls
are running after you... But I'm sorry
to say,you have neither the looks,nor
the personality of something that I
would be interested in...
Aycee,get a life! Don't try to live
mine! Who I talk to,and how I run my
board is no concern of yours... Learn
the lesson that some things are none
of your Business...
