I used to have a copy, it was called  GS.PHONE.TONER or something like
that.  Wasn't it a Trojan Horse?  I thought it was okay if you left its
code alone (it was in AppleSoft) but if you changed it, it messed with
your BRAM and made you think your GS was kaput.

I wish I still had it. It was in my archives up until August, when the Big
Gig died suddenly of some sort of heat related problem and took out around
150mb of Apple II Stuff.

If you have a Macintosh, I have a program that'll run on anything with an
Apple Sound Chip and make all the Red, Bule and Green box tones as well as
regular touch tones.  I might even have an MS-DOS program (needs a
Soundblaster) on disk somewhere.

You might find descriptions of boxes in soething like The Jolly Roger's
Handbook...
