Secrets of the Little Blue Box This is the article from Esquire Magazine that launched phone phreaking into the mainstream in 1971.  You'll be introduced to weird, bizarre characters such as Cap'n Crunch, Joe Engressia and more.  Anyone who's into phone phreaking needs to read this article.  It's one of the first texts I ever read on phreaking and it's responsible for getting me hooked. 

How The Secret Telephone War Came to Britain Another article, similar to the Esquire article.  Only it's written a year later and in the London Sunday Times.

he gave me a lot of advice whilst i was making the 2600Hz box, i am really bad with solder My own mediocre attempt at humor has been highly amusing to myself.!  He's currently working on a bluebox that runs off of 1 BASIC 2 STAMP.  This hould be easy enough to solder, i hope.
