Well, I'm sure most of you phreaks have
|
||
|
|
heard many rumors about gaining access
|
||
|
|
to MCI, SPRINT etc... in the POST
|
||
|
|
DIVESTITURE age. The most common rumor
|
||
|
|
is that there will be no access
|
||
|
|
available after 1986. well, you are
|
||
|
|
partially correct and have good reason
|
||
|
|
to worry. While it is true that there
|
||
|
|
will be an "EQUAL ACCESS" switching
|
||
|
|
through all available call services
|
||
|
|
(MCI,SPRINT,etc.) there will still be
|
||
|
|
the need for extenal access to these
|
||
|
|
companies as the business man who
|
||
|
|
travels will need to make calls from
|
||
|
|
places other than his home fone, so it
|
||
|
|
will (in my opinion) be neccesary to
|
||
|
|
leave the dialups open. However you
|
||
|
|
will have the option to use say sprint
|
||
|
|
by say picking up you fone and dialing
|
||
|
|
1+ a/c+number as you will have equal
|
||
|
|
acces to all long distance venders as
|
||
|
|
well as AT&T. You will also have the
|
||
|
|
option of over-riding your vender.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Befor all this gets to complicated let
|
||
|
|
me show you a reprint of a TELCO
|
||
|
|
company newsletter that is very
|
||
|
|
informative... READ IT CAREFULLY. It's
|
||
|
|
dated:2/1/84
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
THIS IS ORIGINAL MATERIAL BROUGHT TO
|
||
|
|
YOU FROM PIRATE-80-SYSTEMS AND
|

<S><C><A><N><*><M><A><N>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
BELL LABS, WESTERN ELECTRIC, AND AT&T
|
||
|
|
will be testing will be testing long
|
||
|
|
distance equal access when a NEW
|
||
|
|
SOFTWARE PACKAGE is cut over in the
|
||
|
|
SOUTH CHARLESTON (Thats right folks of
|
||
|
|
all the places in the entire country
|
||
|
|
and they have to choose CHARLESTON,WV.)
|
||
|
|
ON FEB, 3 1984.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
EQUAL ACCESS MEANS LITERALLY WHAT IT
|
||
|
|
SAY'S.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ACCORDING TO THE MODIFIED FINAL
|
||
|
|
JUDGEMENT,equal access will allow ALL
|
||
|
|
INTEREXCHANGE long distance carriers
|
||
|
|
the option to choose the same access
|
||
|
|
AT&T has in connecting to local
|
||
|
|
exchange offices nationwide.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The SOUTH CHARLESTON cut is being
|
||
|
|
discribed as the FIRST step toward
|
||
|
|
nationwaide equal access. WEST VIRGINIA
|
||
|
|
is conducting the FIRST NATIONAL TRIALS
|
||
|
|
of the Bell Labs equal access GenericProgram.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The computer memory and the capacity of
|
||
|
|
the S. Charleston 1A ESS has been
|
||
|
|
expanded for the tests.the 1A is the
|
||
|
|
workhourse of the nations switching
|
||
|
|
machines. It has the capacity of up to
|
||
|
|
129,000 lines.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Two other WEST VIRGINIA CENTRAL OFFICES
|
||
|
|
will also be retrofitted for equal
|
||
|
|
access- the CHARLESTON 1A in MARCH and
|
||
|
|
the parkersburg #1 ESS in APRIL (this
|
||
|
|
should be of interest to the local
|
||
|
|
phreaks).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Bell Labs technicians conducting
|
||
|
|
equal access tests will make calls
|
||
|
|
between WEST VIRGINIA cities and INDIAN
|
||
|
|
HILL, ILL. to test the software.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Customers will not be involved untile
|
||
|
|
tests are complete in Sept. 84. They
|
||
|
|
will not be effected during the tests
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
However,when equal access is possible,
|
||
|
|
they will be able to make long distance
|
||
|
|
calls with the carrier(vender-mci,etc.)
|
||
|
|
of their choosing (wouldnt you know I'd
|
||
|
|
be the first guy in the country to be
|
||
|
|
stuck with this shit).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The software for the 1A and other
|
||
|
|
switches will allow local operating
|
||
|
|
companies such as C&P (Part of Bell
|
||
|
|
Atlantic) to program into there local
|
||
|
|
switching machines the customers CHOICE
|
||
|
|
OF LONG DISTANCE COMPANIES. Every time
|
||
|
|
the customer dials 1+ and a long
|
||
|
|
distance number, the appropriate long
|
||
|
|
distance company can be billed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The system is designed to allow
|
||
|
|
customers to "OVERRIDE" THEIR CHOICE OF
|
||
|
|
LONG DISTANCE providers,if they
|
||
|
|
desire,by dialing five digits --
|
||
|
|
1+OXXX.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Today companies either have their own
|
||
|
|
network or lease WIDE AREA TELEPHONE
|
||
|
|
service (WATS) lines from AT&T. Their
|
||
|
|
customers may have to dial up to 21
|
||
|
|
digits to access the services.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By Sept.1,84,every Bell operating
|
||
|
|
company must have at least one central
|
||
|
|
office capable of providing equal
|
||
|
|
access.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
BY Sept.1,85, one third of a companies
|
||
|
|
subscriber lines must be served by
|
||
|
|
central offices capable of equal
|
||
|
|
access.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By Sept.1,86 all central offices must
|
||
|
|
provide equall acces if a long distance
|
||
|
|
company (MCI ETC.) places a bona fide
|
||
|
|
request.

I MAY BE [garbled text] SHIT BUT
|
||
|
|
LOOK AT THE BRIGHT SIDE, ALL YOU
|
||
|
|
PHREAKS WILL KNOW WHATS HAPPENING AS IT
|
||
|
|
HAPPENS (THE FIRST THING TO CHECK IS TO
|
||
|
|
SEE IF SPRINT AND MCI CLOSE THEIR LOCAL
|
||
|
|
DIALUPS AFTER THIS TAKES EFFECT) SO
|
||
|
|
REMEMBER FOR THE INSIDE ON THE INSIDE
|
||
|
|
STAY TUNED TO PIRATE-80-SYSTEMS THERE
|
||
|
|
WILL BE UPDATES AS INFOMATION BECOMES
|
||
|
|
AVAILABLE. SINCE PIRATE-80 HAS BEEN
|
||
|
|
INFLICED WITH THIS WE MIGHT AS WELL
|
||
|
|
LEARN FROM IT SO STAY TUNED.......
