Our home phone service was served out of a PacBell central office in Calabasas, which covered a small territory, so if there were any intercepts, I figured I’d likely be the target. I called the CO and got a tech on the line. "Hi," I said. "This is Terry Atchley, in Security. I think we have some of our equipment over there. We’re short on monitoring equipment, and we need some of our boxes back for another case. Could you walk around the frame and see if you have any of them?" The frame tech asked me what they looked like. Hmm—I didn’t know. I stumbled a bit and said, "It depends on the model that’s being used over there. It’s probably a small box with a miniature printer attached that’s recording the digits dialed."
