Yeah.. learn to spell, for one.
And secondly, why are you posting this up? I'd hope that anyone
who calls themself a "hacker" would (a) already know how to do
this, or (b) be able to figure it out on his or her own.
But what do I know.
ObScannerHack: I recently borrowed a friend's USR dualie, and somewhat
by accident discovered it could decode touch-tones. I quickly made
up a cheesy RJ11-to-earphone-jack cable, and wrote a program under linux to
log the tones (sans the "0" the modem puts between them as spacers)
and output the date & time received. I can now plug my scanner in
and leave it alone, and come back with a file full of dialed numbers.
I have no idea what I'm going to do with it, though..
