Very cool article. I found myself strangely hit with a wave of nostalgia when the piece came upon "DTMF: dialing a Touch-Tone phone"


Anarchist cookbook, blue box, buzz box, etc...


Don't forget the red box, which you could make by replacing the 3.579545 MHz crystal powering the chip that the OP reverse engineered with a 6.5536MHz one, and then the top row and bottom column tones become 1700 / 2200Hz to simulate the pay phone nickel / dime / quarter tones.
