Re: Splitting a Signal Box Data Stream

I don't have the complete solution but I have a
friend that does. What he did was splice the
comport wires going into the computers. Some of
the wires only send data and other wires only
receive data. He tapped into the wires that
receive by splicing the cable and sent it to
another computer.

What he did next was the hard part but if you have
the money Signal will sell you the encryption
code. He spent a long time, but broke the code by
trial and error.

I think the key is to only send to the other
computer the receive wires and not the send wires.
