Yup,you guessed it,this is yet another of what we hope will
|
|
be a long series of Modernz files,covering everything and anything
|
|
we feel would be worth sharing.
|
|
|
|
This file is going to concern itself with Outdials...you know,those
|
|
knifty little gems found from time to time on the networks and some
|
|
systems.I do not claim by any means to be the god of GOD's...but I am
|
|
a firm believer in spreading information around.
|
|
|
|
So you ask..what is an outdial? It is a system set up by some company
|
|
to allow their computers/personel to dial out via some # or network
|
|
address without having to shell out quarters to ma bell every 3 minutes.
|
|
I'm most familiar with outdials that can be reached via the two main
|
|
nets,namely Telenet & Tymnet.I am best familiar with three main types,
|
|
so will limit this phile to discussing them.
|
|
|
|
Blah.Anyway...among the cheeziest of the systems going are run off of
|
|
Datapac in Canada...reached on Tymnet via the prefix 3020.The system
|
|
looks pretty much like this:
|
|
|
|
**************************************************************************
|
|
(You log onto tymnet...tell it who you are,then hit)
|
|
|
|
;3020xxxxxxxx
|
|
|
|
Enter Destination Telephone Number (e.g. 5555555) /
|
|
Entrer le numero de telephone du destinataire (ex. 5555555)
|
|
12017485030 (Tell it where ya wanna call)
|
|
|
|
Dialing / Composition du numero
|
|
12017485030
|
|
Ringing / Sonnerie
|
|
|
|
Communication Established
|
|
**************************************************************************
|
|
|
|
And thats about it.I don't much care for these systems because 9 times
|
|
out of 10,they don't function properly.Or at least,they don't work from
|
|
where I am.Slightly more functional are what I like to call
|
|
"Happy Outdials"...which are actually PC Pursuit outdials located on telenet.
|
|
MOST of these systems are local outdialing only,which means you have to have
|
|
an outdial for the area code you wish to call in order for them to work.
|
|
|
|
The telenet format for these od's are fairly simple,looking like
|
|
|
|
Rich Taylor01 101
|
|
or(NOT a real OD..)
|
|
Rich Taylor01 101a
|
|
|
|
or whatever.From tymnet,the same outdilas would look like this...
|
|
|
|
;311020100101
|
|
or
|
|
;31102010010101
|
|
|
|
As you can see (you can see,right?) the only difference between them
|
|
is that tymnet requires a "3110" prefix to tell tymnet to call telenet,
|
|
a pair of zeroes where the space was for the telenet format,and ya gotta
|
|
change a character identifier to a numeric (i.e. a 101a becomes 10101,
|
|
a 101b would be 10102,etc.).You can sometimes reach things on telenet from
|
|
tymnet that you couldn't access directly from telenet.This is a boon when
|
|
your favorite telenet outdial suddenly begins refusing collect connections.
|
|
|
|
Anyway..the happy outdials don't seem too impressive when you first connect
|
|
wwith them...thats because they are waiting for you to wake them up by
|
|
hitting CONTROL E.Once you"ve done that,you'll be greeted by it like this...
|
|
|
|
**************************************************************************
|
|
;3110xxx00xxxx
|
|
HELLO:I'M READY
|

|
|
**************************************************************************
|
|
|
|
What you might not guess from this rather unassuming prompt is that it
|
|
hides a fairly extensive menu of commands that you may or may not be
|
|
able to access.I have fucked with the menus for hours,trying different
|
|
terminal emulators,to no avail.In any case,the menu structure is reached by
|
|
giving the '*' a '?' to contemplate,thusly...

So much for the PC Pusuit od's.One of these days I'll lay hands on a
|
|
PCP Console,amd throw open the network for a few days.In any case,there
|
|
one more variety of OD I'd like to cover here,one which haas been global
|
|
in format every time I've gone to use one,but which is usually inaccessable
|
|
by virtue of being perpetually busy.
|
|
These last ods are located on telenet,and are indistinguishable (nua-wise)
|
|
from the PCP outdials.These od's look like this...

Thats about it.As more info comes in,I will no doubt add to what has been
|
|
presented here in some future phile.Outdials are an oasis in an
|
|
increasingly codeless and deadly enviroment.They are about 900% safer than
|
|
codes,and most can be accessed via **free** networks.
