Ya just install Toneloc on a older machine and beige box a connection so you can set it to war dial your whole area code.

Also Cat call is alot of fun

Raawwwwww!

Maybe its just my area code, but it seemed like 90% of what I found were Fax Machines. I only tried the first 50 or so numbers on a list, and retired Toneloc to a floppy disc in the back of my collection. Fun if your enterprising enough I guess, but Id imagine that now with Cable and DSL, the ratio of fax machines to actually intresting devices has increased exponentially.

Swaz, if your trying to do anything other than gather a list of numbers with modems at the end, you might not find Toneloc very intresting. That being said, if you were to combine a war dialer, and some Caller ID spoofing (ala your other post), then now we're talking.

I just had a flash of an idea, something like old radio serials, except that you call alot of people and have a recording played for them, and its from a spoofed caller ID. You could turn into an ARG (Alternate Reality Game) of just use it in your own personal Info-War. Itd be intresting to see how long the average person listened in to a recording. Id probably use it to put a little humor in peoples lives if anything, work my message in subtly. If you could have several thousand people getting calls that they actually were looking forward to hearing because they were humorous or entertaining, you could probably subvert an entire area code to do your bidding (evil or otherwise). When I was younger (ok, it was last weekend, after a drunken afternoon) we use to "prank" people, solely with the aim of seeing how long we could keep them on the phone, as oppossed to berating or irritating them.

But then, Ive already said too much. ;-)

Gotta love long distance, impersonal, nearly anonymous forms of communication.

Sure man! Whatever you mant to throw my way feel free. I'm at the bottom of the learning curve, so it it's old tech then it'll be just fine for me.

BTW, I'm geting some way cool gadgets off of ebay.
