PRIVATE BRANCH EXCHANGES
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(HENCEFORTH ACKNOWLEDGED AS "PBX'S") ARE TELEPHONE SYSTEMS SET UP BY LARGE
|
||
|
|
CORPORATIONS TO MAKE LONG DISTANCE PHONE CALLS AT A LOWER-THAN-AT&T PRICE.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
HERE'S WHAT AND HOW A PBX WORKS:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
MANY PEOPLE ARE FAMILIAR WITH TOLL-FREE NUMBERS (1-800-XXX-XXXX) THAT
|
||
|
|
ALLOW DIAL UP FROM ANYWHERE (WELL, ALMOST ANYWHERE.. DEPENDING ON THE TYPE
|
||
|
|
OF WATS LINE THE COMPANY GOT.. BUT THIS IS NOT IMPORTANT) IN THE UNITED STATES.
|
||
|
|
WATS (WIDE-AREA-TELEPHONE-SERVICE) LINES ARE OFFERED BY AT&T AT A FLAT
|
||
|
|
RATE OF MAYBE $2000 PER MONTH WHIC ALLOWS AN UNLIMITED AMOUNT OF LONG
|
||
|
|
DISTANCE CALLS TO THAT COMPANY. 2000 DOLLARS A MONTH MAY SEEM A LOT TO YOU
|
||
|
|
AND ME, BUT TO A COMPANY THAT NEEDS TO TALK TO DISTRIBUTORS, SALESMEN,
|
||
|
|
OTHER FRANCHISES, ETC. IT IS A VERY SMALL PRICE TO PAY. (THE WATS LINE I
|
||
|
|
JUST DESCRIBED IS CALLED AN OUTWATS LINE THAT IS, A PHONE LINE THAT ONLY
|
||
|
|
ALLOWS OUTWARD CALLS). NOW A PBX WORKS ALMOST THE SAME WAY MCI, SPRINT, AND
|
||
|
|
OTHER LONG DISTANCE SERVICES WORK. IT USES AN INWATS (INWARD WATS [ANOTHER
|
||
|
|
1-800 NUMBER]) LINE TO ACCEPT ONE OF THEIR EMPLOYEES PHONE CALLS. THEN A
|
||
|
|
COMPUTER PICKS UP THE PHONE AND SENDS OUT A TONE. THE EMPLOYEE (OR YOU)
|
||
|
|
ENTERS A SIMPLE ACCESS CODE (USUALLY 3 OR 4 DIGITS LONG) AND THEN YOUR PHONE
|
||
|
|
NUMBER YOU ARE TRYING TO CALL.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
IF THE CODE IS APPROVED THE COMPUTER SWITCHES YOU TO AN OUWTATS
|
||
|
|
LINE AND COMPLETES YOUR CALL, AND POOF! YOU'RE CONNECTED TO THE OTHER
|
||
|
|
END.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
PBX'S USED TO BE WITHOUT A CODE. wHAT IS, ALL YOU'D DO IS CALL THE
|
||
|
|
800 NUMBER, AND THEN DIAL THE LONG DISTANCE NUMBER. BUT COMPANIES SOON
|
||
|
|
FOUND OUT THAT THEIR PHONES WERE BEINGUSED BY PEOPLE OTHER THAT COMPANY
|
||
|
|
EMPLOYEES, SO THEY ADDED THE CODE TO TRY TO KEEP THESE UNWANTEDS OUT.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
HERE IS A LIST OF A FEW PBX'S FROM A TEXT PHILE CALLED "PHREAKING
|
||
|
|
TUTORIAL II". I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE THESE TO HELP GET YOU STARTED.
