Project MF is a living, working simulation of analog SF/MF signaling just as it was used as the standard in the public switched telephone network up until the early 90's, when most everything was cut-over by the regional Bells to the fully-digital SS7/ISDN network as it continues today.

I have maintained a public ProjectMF system for over a year now. At last old-timers, aspiring phone phreaks, and the curious can experience the clandestine thrill of blue boxing their own calls! Lots of the old tricks are possible, including trunk "stacking",as illustrated in one of the Phonetrips recordings.

I just got in a supply of PCBs (printed circuit boards) and programmed PIC microcontrollers for the blue box circuit that was featured at "The Last Hope" conference in Phil Lapsley's talk on "The History of Phone Phreaking". As a service to the community, I am making these available at a nominal cost.

This is perfect for experimenting with ProjectMF.

Email me at bluebox@projectmf.org for ordering details.

Project MF, and blue box construction information is at:

This is hardly a for-profit venture! 200 boards were given away free at Hope. I am giving away the source code, schematics, parts list, PCB design, etc. at the web site.

That sounds cool I'd like to mess around with that stuff if I could find the time.

I remember seeing this before. When I found it, their site wasn't much more than a little forum. I called some guy's system with a software bluebox, called the 121 number, and talked to the guy who ran that system.
