        The slush box is currently under development by Master Zerez and
        myself.  When plans are complete, the Slush Box can be installed
        at places of business that have the standard multi-line phones.
        The box will be used on business phone systems like the "Com-Key"
        or similar phones.  Installation will be fairly simple, and take
        just a couple of minutes to install.  Here's how:
  
         |
         |
      W  |
      a  |
      l  |  Big, fat 25-pair cable      Connector from wall
      l  |                    \     ______________    /
         |-------------------------/              \  /
         |------------------------/                \
         |                        |----------------|
         |                        |   Slush  Box   |
         |                        |----------------|  To any extension phone
         |                        \                /-------------------------
         |                         \______________/--------------------------
         |                        /         
         |                       /
                             Connector on end of extension phone
 
        These connectors are easy to find because nearly every desk in
        the business has a phone, right?  And behind every desk you'll
        find one of these connectors.  Just separate the connectors.    
        (You will need a small flat-blade screwdriver to loosen a screw on
        each end)  Then insert the Slush Box and make sure everything is
        securely plugged in.
 
                          - THE SLUSH BOX IN THEORY -

        It works basically like it was YOUR OWN extension of the business'
        phone. The Box is powered from the phone's existing power. You
        call the business' number (way after hours, of course!). After 25
        rings, the Slush Box answers on Line 1. Nothing further happens
        until you enter a password into the Box. (Something simple, like
        "#" "5" ) The Slush Box then connects you to Line 2.  Voila!  You
        have a nice dial tone. (On some systems you'll have to dial a "9"
        to get the dial tone.)  Well, after your first call from their
        Line 2 you'll want to hang up Line 2 and make another call.
        Simple. Just enter your password and you'll get dial tone again.
        (Example: "#" "5" again)  The Slush Box turns completely off if
        you hang up from your end.

          THIS FILE WILL BE UPDATED AS WE RECEIVE THE INFO WE NEED
 
        So far, we know the electronics in the box will be kept to a
        minimum. Circuits we need to work on:
  
      1.  A circuit that can count rings (or count "flashes"
          from a pin on the connector) then seize the line.
      2.  A tone decoder circuit (preferably using Radio Shack's
          Decoder Chip) that can hold a couple of password digits.
      3.  Input from other phreakers to help keep this project going.
 
                   ADVANTAGES OF THIS KIND OF CIRCUIT

      1.  It is easily installed in ANY multiline phone system.
