couple of cards to plug into the MUX to put me on the air. |
A 2 wire E&M card goes for bout $319, and I'd need two. Ilook around |
the state, and find one bad one in Rochester.... I'm on my way that afternoon |
via motorcycle. The card is mine, and the only thing I can find wrong is a |
bad voltage regulator. I stop by the Rockwell office in suburban Rochester |
and exchange the card, while I'm there, I buy a second one (Yeah, on my card) |
and drive home.... by 9pm that night the circuit is up, and we are on the air. |
Results- Very good line, no noise, can be converted with another card |
for a modest fee if I want the bandwidth. So that's the story of how the |
board went to a "friendly foreign country." |

Shadow Hawk Busted Again |
======================== |
As many of you know, Shadow Hawk (a/k/a Shadow Hawk 1) had his home |
searched by agents of the FBI, Secret Service, and the Defense Criminal |
Investigative Services and had some of his property confiscated by them on |
September 4th. We're not going to reprint the Washington Post article as it's |
available through other sources. Instead, a summary: |
In early July, SH bought an AT&T 3B1 ("Unix PC") with a 67MB drive for |
a dirt-cheap $525. He got Sys V 3.5 for another $200 but was dissatisfied |
with much of the software they gave him (e.g. they gave him uucp version 1.1). |
When he was tagged by the feds, he had been downloading software (in |
the form of C sources) from various AT&T systems. According to reports, these |
included the Bell Labs installations at Naperville, Illinois and Murray Hill, |
New Jersey. Prosecutors said he also gained entry to (and downloaded software |
from) AT&T systems at a NATO installation in Burlington, North Carolina and |
Robins AFB in Georgia. AT&T claims he stole $1 million worth of software. |
Some of it was unreleased software taken from the Bell Labs systems that was |
given hypothetical price tags by Bell Labs spokespersons. Agents took his |
3B1, two Atari STs he had in his room, and several diskettes. |
SH is 17 and apparently will be treated as a minor. At the time of |
this writing, he will either be subject to federal prosecution for 'computer |
theft' or will be subject to prosecution only by the State of Illinois. |
SH's lawyer, Karen Plant, was quoted as saying that SH "categorically |
denies doing anything that he should not have been doing" and that he "had |
absolutely no sinister motives in terms of stealing property." As we said, he |
was just collecting software for his new Unix PC. When I talked to Ms. Plant |
on September 25th, she told me that she had no idea if or when the U.S. |
Attorney would prosecute. Karen Plant can be reached at (312) 263-1355. Her |
address is 134 North LaSalle, #306, Chicago, Illinois. |

So you see, I'm screwed. Oh yeah, even worse! In my infinite (wisdom |
|| stupidity, take your pick 8-)) I set up a local AT&T owned 7300 to call me |
up and send me their uucp files (my uucp works ok for receive) and guess what. |
I don't think I've to elaborate further on THAT one... (holding my breath, so |
to type) |

"Phone Companies Across U.S. Want Coins Box Thief's Number" |
From the Tribune - Thursday, Nov. 5, 1987 |
SAN FRANCISCO - Seven telephone companies across the country, including |
Pacific Bell, are so frazzled by a coin box thief that they are offering a |
reward of $25,000 to catch him. |
He's very clever, telephone officials say, and is the only known suspect in |
the country that is able to pick the locks on coin boxes in telephone |
booths with relative ease. |
He is believed responsible for stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from |
coin boxes in the Bay Area and Sacramento this year. |
The suspect has been identified by authorities as James Clark, 47, of |
Pennisula, Ohio, a machinist and tool-and-die maker, who is believed |
responsible for coin box thefts in 24 other states. |
Other companies sharing in the reward are Ohio Bell, Southern Bell, South |
Carolina Bell, South Central Bell, Southwestern Bell, Bell Telephone of |
Pennsylvania and U.S. West. |
Clark allegedly hit pay phones that are near freeways and other major |
thoroughfares. Clark, described as 5 feet 9 inches tall, with shoulder |
length brown hair and gold-rimmed glasses, is reported to be driving a new |
Chevrolet Astro van painted a dark metallic blue. |
He was recently in Arizona but is believed to be back in California. |
