Static Box
--------------------

  We were looming at the Aqua Box plans and we saw something about static on
  long-distance calls in the file.  It said that you get static because the
  voltage is not getting regulated very well.  So why not have a box that keeps
  the voltage regulated so that you can avoid static?  This would be very useful
  when calling a BBS with an extender that flakes-out and gives you garbage on
  the screen.  So here it is...

  * Note: These are our first box plans with schematics, and electronics that I
          made, so bear with me.  And yes, this has been tested.


                                   EQUIPMENT

  1. (2) Size 'AA' Batteries, and holder (You could use a adapter, so you won't
         have to buy batteries...ex. A 3,6,9,12 volt adapter in one!)
  2. (1) Two fone line connector (Has two plugs from one)
  3. (1) Modular plug w/6 inches of colored wire connected.
  4.     2 feet of telephone wire
  5. (1) 100k Resistor
  6.     Soldering Iron
  7.     Solder.....get all of this at Radio Shack of course!

                                   INSTRUCTIONS

  Have your phone connected to one of the plugs, then if you want to use the
  Static box plug it into the other one and put the batteries in the case.  That
  will remove static.  This will be useful in using 2400 baud on an extender
  (because of shitty lines).  You may want to make the voltage 9 volts, with a 9
  volt battery holder.  What the hell, make two, one for 3 volts (Normal stuff),
  and one for 9 volts (Special connections like 2400 baud on a extender).  Be
  sure not to leave it hooked up, because it may make your phone act funny, and
  people may not get calls through!  You could use even a bigger voltage, an use
  it as "Lock 'n Trace", and make some asshole squirm!
