People kept telling me that if you used the  6.49 Mhz crystal on the 
disgustingly infamous Rat Shack dialer, the frequencies "can't" be 
blocked, becasu they are the correct frequencies. Then I learned that the 
combo box doesn't produce a correct quarter anyway, but does five nickels! 
That thing still fools ACTS, but it would never work on an operator, and 
phreaks  need to know this. I considered building a quarter-type red box, 
but I've reconsidered. The combo box conversionn was supposed to be a 
quick hack job to get you red boxing in a hurry, and it worked in this 
respect. But my energy would be better spent making a good quality 
recording from a real pay phone. 
Whoever got the non-memory dialer, using redial to send dimes seems like 
not such a bad idea after all to me. Also, you can open it up and access 
the extra DTMF tones (A-D).
I tried using a tape recordeing without success, but something like DAT 
would do the job, I'll bet.
