This article bases itself on only one primary source which itself is labeled as a work of fiction. While the vermilion box is listed in many lists of phreaking boxes, they all seem to lead back to this one artofhacking.com page. Is there any evidence this box could even "hypothetically" exist, as the Wikipedia article currently claims? Or is this merely a fictional box created to mimic other actually existing boxes? I am tagging this page for improvement in the hopes that someone can find a better source for this article that does not rely on the claims made by artofhacking.com.
