From: tknight@yabbs To: all@yabbs Subject: couple of things... Date: Sun May 8 11:47:52 1994 First off, I need advice about getting into those wonderful telco vans. They have a tendency to lock them around here, but i've been spotting one particular van at my local CO out lately. It appears to be broken, but all the stuff is still in it. I already have my very own Linesman handset, so what i really want to do is get those manuals in that file cabinet thing in the front seat. This particular van is the old style with those little triangle windows on the front that tilt in. I cant pick locks and I cant just shatter the glass because the CO is right next to an old folks home. How effective is Duct tape to muffle the sound? Please post any efficient ways to get into these vans. Second, Does anyone know anything abouit this upcoming switch from Cosmos to Switch? I've been reading some internal memos about it that i have gotten trashing but they mostly just told me about the conversion process. Third, will it be possible to clip a phone onto fiber lines(I know i cant use my handsset, fiber doesnt conduct), and if so, how? Last, some time this week i will be spending a day down at Southern Bell hanging out with the System Administrators on their private PSN, right now i'm just waiting for security clearance.
