This file is for folks who want to get started using outdials. I tried to
|
|
explain everything in detail, assuming no prior knowledge. Have phun.
|
|
I have used a lot of information obtained from other g-files in putting
|
|
together this file. So, let me give credit where it is due:
|
|
|
|
Info on Pac*It came from Doc Savage - many thanks
|
|
Telenet modem addresses courtesy of Sam Brown
|
|
Other stuff I got from The Mentor
|
|
|
|
Of course, there is plenty of stuff that I don't know where it came
|
|
from. Oh well, thanks to whoever I got other info from. Special thanks
|
|
to Dart Catcher who created and runs my favorite local board (the only
|
|
cool board in the whole damn state): The Dartboard - call it!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Allright, here goes:
|
|
|
|
Introduction: Outdials
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Outdials are extremely useful things which can be used to call long
|
|
distance without paying and without using codes. Essentially, an
|
|
outdial is a modem which is connected to a network. You call up the
|
|
network, then connect to the outdial over the network, then use the modem
|
|
to call whatever system (BBS) you want to connect to. Sounds
|
|
complicated, but it really isn't.
|
|
|
|
You will be using modems which are connected to the Telenet network. There
|
|
are outdials connected to Telenet in every area code. So, you can call
|
|
just about anywhere you want. The problem is that generally, these outdials
|
|
don't take collect connections over Telenet. So, we have to use a way of
|
|
getting around that. That way is called PAC*IT. PAC*IT is a service
|
|
which is connected to Telenet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Part I - Connecting to the Network
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Ok, first you need to connect to the network. The way to connect
|
|
to Telenet in order to use these outdials is through Pac*it, which is
|
|
some sort of gay PC pursuit deal. Anyway, call Pac*it: 1-800-234-2796
|
|
at 2400/1200 7E1. After connecting, log on:
|
|
|
|
1200 baud: just hit <cr> a couple of times
|
|
2400 baud: send an @ (shift-2) then a <cr>
|
|
|
|
It will now say
|
|
|
|
PAC*IT Plus
|
|
|
|
XXXXXXXXXXX111
|
|
|
|
The X's don't matter, what matters is the last three digits. You can only
|
|
connect to U.S. modems if this number is between 100 and 300. If the
|
|
three umbers on the end aren't between 100 and 300 then hang up and call
|
|
back. Eventually, you will get one that is OK.
|
|
|
|
Under the numbers it will say: 'TERMINAL =' just hit return here.
|
|
You will now see the well known '@' prompt. This means you are
|
|
connected to Telenet.
|
|
|
|
Part II - Connecting to the Outdial
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Now, you need to know a bit about the way
|
|
systems on Telenet are addressed. To connect to a system (i.e. outdial)
|
|
at the '@' prompt, you type the address of the system you want and hit
|
|
return. You must use the Telenet International Address Format to
|
|
connect to outdials if you called in through PAC*IT. It looks like
|
|
this:
|
|
|
|
|------------------------ Data Network Ident. Code (DNIC)
|
|
|
|
|
| |----------------- Area code
|
|
| |
|
|
| | |----------- DTE address (the specific system in the
|
|
/\ | / \ area code)
|
|
/ \ / \ / \ /\----- Port Address
|
|
IIII AAA NNNNN PP
|
|
|
|
For example the Telenet address of 201 346 becomes 31102010034600
|
|
|
|
|
|
So, connect to the outdial in the area code you want by typing in the complete
|
|
address of the outdial. I know, you are saying to yourself "Where the
|
|
hell do I get addresses of outdials?" Well, at the end of this g-file,
|
|
of course.
|
|
|
|
After you have entered the address, you will get a 'CONNECTED' or else
|
|
some error message. If you get an error, try again, or try another
|
|
outdial.
|
|
|
|
Part III - Using the Outdial
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
After you connect, hit ctrl-E a few times, then hit return. After a few
|
|
seconds you should get a message like '*Hello, I'm Ready*' You are now
|
|
connected to a modem! Help is available, just enter a ? or H. The
|
|
command you are most concerned with is D (dial command). So, enter D
|
|
and it should ask you for the number. Just type in the phone number
|
|
you want to dial (no area code). It should then say "Dialing..." If
|
|
you connect, great, you should know what to do now. If the number is
|
|
busy, or out-of-order or whatever, the outdial will return to command
|
|
mode. You can then dial again.
|
|
|
|
You can generally disconnect from the outdial itself by entering an '@'
|
|
then hitting return in the command mode. You should then get the '@'
|
|
prompt back. Now you can connect to another outdial in a different area
|
|
code if you want to. Just follow the procedure in Part II again.
|

Part V - Finishing Up
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
As best I can tell, this is a very safe method if you don't abuse it,
|
|
over use it, etc. Remember, this is a 1-800 number, so if you call it
|
|
200 times in a week or 30 times in a day, you may get a call yourself.
|
|
So, to keep this method alive for everyone to use, don't do this too
|
|
much.
|
|
|
|
I hope this file has been helpful to you. There are plenty of people
|
|
who know a lot more about this stuff that I do. But, I will definitely
|
|
try to help anyone out if I can. I can be reached most easily at:
