A red box can only make the tones that pay phones make when you put coins
into them. I have heard that a lot of stuff in the phone system has been
changed, but I'd bet that there are still phones out there that tell the
company you've paid by making those tones... Certainly there were when the
Newton came out.
Other colored boxes make other tones that let you do more interesting stuff
than getting free calls.
