Perhaps one of the most dominant trends in the area of Phone Phreaking was the constant creation of "Boxes": Devices of all types and complexity that would do a specific activity, usually illegal or potentially illegal. The first and most famous of these was the Blue Box, which would simulate the tones generated by an Operator from any phone, allowing the user to do an amazing variety of tricks and, occasionally, fraud.
However, this box was quickly surrounded by every box color in the visible spectrum (and some beyond) as phreaks and phone hackers across the country came up with odd new ideas of what to do with phones, and created electronic plans to demonstrate to others how to build them.
No doubt a major contributor to this unique situation was the romance of creating an all-in-one, solid box that would do a magic trick on a phone or phone line, giving the phone phreak a leg up against the phone company. As time went on, this idea of a magic box spread to other arenas, and there are plans for television transmitters and traffic light hacks as well.
To speed browsing, the supposed function of the box is included in italics after the first set of plans for that color. This has nothing to do with the plan's actual success at its goal or whether it even comes close. In the case of multiple plans, no favoritism is being played as to which plans are the first, second, etc. It's just how they came.

A Word about the Rampant Duplication in this Section:
There's a lot of similar files in this section: The reason being that Box Plans were a de-facto requirement for you to have even a semi-decent Phreaking/Hacking BBS in the 1980's. You started your BBS, you went out and grabbed Boxing textfiles from AE Lines or long-distance BBSes, and you put them all up, under a special phreaking files section. With this amount of intensity came people who would modify the files to look like they wrote them, or reformatted the files and took credit for the reformatting. There's many, many different variations and I believe the variations represent a bit of history in themselves.
