THE RCA NETWORK:PART I
|
|||
|
|
BY THE TELEX TROOPERS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
THE RCA NETWORK IS A SERVICE PROVIDED TO MANY COMPANIES FOR
|
|||
|
|
THEIR@TELEX, AND TELEGRAM NEEDS. THEY CAN COMUNICATE OVERSEAS,
|
|||
|
|
SHORE-TO-SHIP, SHIP-TO-SHIP, AND DOMESTICALLY. ALSO OFFERED IN
|
|||
|
|
THIS NETWORK IS A SERVICE KNOWN AS FYI. FOR YOUR INFORMATION IS
|
|||
|
|
A NEWS NETWORK ALLOWING PEOPLE TO LOOK UP CURRENT STOCK QUOTES,
|
|||
|
|
WEATHER REPORTS, BEST-SELLER LIST, HOROSCOPES, AND MANY OTHER
|
|||
|
|
HUMAN INTEREST THINGS, SUCH AS SENDING A MAILGRAM OF A GET-WELL
|
|||
|
|
CARD, OR A BIRTHDAY CARD.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
THE SECURITY OF THIS SYSTEM IS RATHER LOW. IT USES THE
|
|||
|
|
ANSWERBACK OF THE COMPANY FOR IDENTIFICATION AND VALIDATION.
|
|||
|
|
THEY DO THIS BY RANDOMLY SENDING A ^E, OR INQUIRE CHARACTER TO
|
|||
|
|
THE ACCESSING TERMINAL. IF THE TERMINAL DOES NOT ANSWER, IT WILL
|
|||
|
|
DISCONNECT, OR IF THE PASSWORD IS NOT CORRECT, IT WILL HANG UP AS
|
|||
|
|
WELL.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
ALL THAT NEEDS BE DONE IS TO HAVE A TERMINAL PROGRAM THAT
|
|||
|
|
CONTINUALLY CHECKS FOR ^E'S AND SENDS A PRE-PROGRAMMED MESSAGE TO
|
|||
|
|
THE HOST. WITH THIS KNOWLEDGE, YOU CAN ACCESS ONE OF THE LARGEST
|
|||
|
|
DATABASES/SERVICES IN THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES, AND EVEN THE
|
|||
|
|
WORLD.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
THE ANSWERBACK OF ANY COMPANY USING RCA NETWORK IS USUALLY
|
|||
|
|
IN THE FORMAT SHOWN BELOW:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
####### ABCDEFGHIJ UR
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
######=TELEX#
|
|||
|
|
ABCDEFGHIJ=COMPANY ABBREV.
|
|||
|
|
UR=STANDARD SUFFIX
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
TO UTILIZE RCA, SET YOUR TERMINAL AS ABOVE WITH THE ANSWER-
|
|||
|
|
BACK OF A COMPANY THAT UTILIZES THE RCA NETWORK. THEN CALL THE
|
|||
|
|
RCA COMPUTER, AND YOU WILL RECEIVE A MESSAGE:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
RCA GA
|
|||
|
|
AT THIS POINT YOU TYPE IN YOUR CHOICE, FOLLOWED BY A +. FOR
|
|||
|
|
THE HOTLINE (FYI) YOU WOULD TYPE 12+ WITH NO CARRIAGE RETURN.
|
|||
|
|
THEN THE HOST WOULD SEND A ^E AND CHECK THE IDENTIFICATION OF
|
|||
|
|
YOUR TERMINAL. IF IT WAS CORRECT, IT WILL CONTINUE INTO THE
|
|||
|
|
SERVICE, PROMPTING YOU ALONG THE WAY. TO SEND A STANDARD TELEX,
|
|||
|
|
YOU WOULD MERELY TYPE IN THE TELEX NUMBER YOU WERE SENDING TO
|
|||
|
|
FOLLOWED BY A +. WHEN DONE TYPING THE TELEX MESSAGE, YOU MERELY
|
|||
|
|
TYPE 4 PERIODS IN A ROW, AND YOU WILL BE GIVEN CHARGABLE TIME.
|
|||
|
|
AND BE DISCONNECTED FROM THE RCA SERVICE.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH RCA IS THAT EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE A
|
|||
|
|
300 BAUD CONNECTION TO THE PHONE NETWORK, THE CONNECTION BETWEEN
|
|||
|
|
THE MODEM AND THE CENTRAL COMPUTER IS 50 BAUD.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
WHEN SENDING A TELEX TO A FOREIGN COUNTRY, YOU MUST USE A
|
|||
|
|
COUNTRY CODE, AND THESE ARE AVAILABLE FROM YOUR NEAREST TELEX
|
|||
|
|
DIRECTORY.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
TO SEND A TELEGRAM WITH THE RCA SERVICE, MERELY ENTER 11+ AT
|
|||
|
|
THE RCA GA PROMPT. FROM HERE YOU MAY SEND A TELEGRAM ANYWHERE ON
|
|||
|
|
LAND, FOR A MARINE TELEGRAM, ENTER 13+. ALL PROCEDURES FOR MARINE
|
|||
|
|
TELEGRAMS AND STANDARD TELEX MESSAGES WILL BE COVERED IN A FUTURE
|
|||
|
|
FILE, BUT FOR NOW, THE HOTLINE SERVICE IS AVAILABLE TO USE WHILE
|
|||
|
|
YOU ARE WAITING, SO VISIT YOUR LOCAL HACK, AND HE WILL INSTRUCT
|
|||
|
|
YOU HOW TO USE THE FOLLOWING PHONE NUMBER:
|
|||
|

|||

|
|||
|
|
OR
|
|||
|
|
1-800-526-3881
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|
STORE AND FORWARD MESSAGES.
