Re. wiring two payphone lines together: uh, NO. From a practical
standpoint, it will probably drop trouble cards at the CO. From a legal
standpoint, it's theft of service, and especially with red boxes etc.;
again, a dumb place to make your stand in court.
Again, I want to suggest that the best thing to do is get a group of folks
together to establish a PBX which can be used as a concentrator/diverter.

Well, the suggestion wasn't meant to be taken all too seriously; note
the smiley face. :)
(Altho I wouldn't be too surprised if someone has actually tried it -
you never know...)
