ToneLoc


 

ToneLoc was a popular demon dialing computer program for MS-DOS written in the early to mid-1990s by two programmers known by the pseudonyms Minor Threat and Mucho Maas. The name ToneLoc was short for "Tone Locator", and was a play on the name of the rap artist known as Tone Loc. The utility was created for the purpose of scanning for dial tones or modem carriers in order to find System 75 PBXes, long distance carriers, or other modems.
