This is a document covering how to find out the locations of the
|
|
'Out-Modems' used by the Drake University VAX computer. This is a completely
|
|
legal operation, and brought about by the lack of infomation supplied by the
|
|
DIAL Center concerning it's VAX. This document in no way for the use of and
|
|
illegal activity on/ or concerning Drake's computer's, Dial Center, or the VAX
|
|
itself. The Phantom, and DungeonMaster will be in no way held responsible for
|
|
the use of this information.
|
|
|
|
Well, now that we have the formalities out of the way, we can continue
|
|
with the main purpose of this document.
|
|
|
|
First, just to aleviate any fears you may have, this is a simple
|
|
straightforward process that can be mastered after some practice. That is not
|
|
to say that practice is not needed however. Now, a little background
|
|
information.
|
|
|
|
The VAX computer, like any computer, uses a device called a modem for
|
|
it to communicate with the outside world. These modems are connected to the
|
|
VAX computer with their own seperate 'line' or phone number. It is these
|
|
numbers that we will try to get later on. When one of these numbers are called
|
|
or 'used' the computer will open a doorway for the caller or 'user' to the
|
|
outside phone lines. Some of you may be asking "Why does the VAX need these
|
|
modem things?". Which is not that nieve of a question as you may think. A
|
|
modem converts the computer's way of of talking (Digital) to the way regular
|
|
phones use to talk (Analog). Some of you may be saying "Is Phantom going to
|
|
keep talking about this stuff? Where is the how-to?". Well, you need not
|
|
worry, that is the end of the background.
|
|
|
|
To see what numbers are 'out-modems' and which ones's aren't I'll give
|
|
you a head start. You will have get on the computer and on the system. When
|
|
you see the message "Welcome to the Drake University Data Network". And then
|
|
the prompt "Call, Display or Modify ?". You will have to type "C XXXX" where
|
|
XXXX is the last four digits of the phone number. The number can be anywhere
|
|
between 0000 and 9999. After entering that you press return. You will then be
|
|
given a variety of messages depending on the number you called. Usually, the
|
|
message will be "XXXX is not a Dataline" in which case that means that that is
|
|
not an out-modem number and for you to try another. You can also get the
|
|
message "Your calling rate= XXXX, Called party's Rate= XXXX" where that means
|
|
that you have to re-set your calling rate to that of the party you wish to
|
|
call. To do this you type at the "Call, Display or Modify ?" prompt "M R XXXX"
|
|
where XXXX is the rate of the party you wish to call. Another message would be
|
|
the "Calling Parity= TTTT, Party's Parity= TTTT" where in this case you have
|
|
to set a new parity for yourself. To do this at the ol' "Call, Display or
|
|
Modify ?" area you type "M P TTTT" where TTTT is the parity of the party you
|
|
wish to call. The last type of message you would get would be a 'Calling XXXX,
|
|
Call Complete" where if it is not complete try it about twice, and then go
|
|
onto another. If it is complete, then here is where the real test comes in
|
|
play. You should be in an Editor like mode where you are allowed to type
|
|
anything. You type "AT" and then press return. If it says "OK" you've found
|
|
one!! If it locks up or freezes on you just start over again with a new
|
|
number. Oh, one last piece of information. After so many tries it will say
|
|
"Too many attempts, Disconnected" all that means is that you have to call the
|
|
system again and start over.
|
|
|
|
Well, that's about all I can think of right now at 2:00am. If you have
|
|
any questions, if something is not clear, or if you find any numbers, just come
|
|
and either ask me(Phantom) or DungeonMaster. We are on the VAX and have those
|
|
names for our Process names. Well, Like I said we are there for ya. Good luck
|
|
and hope you are able to find the numbers fast.
