PART I: Introduction
|
|
|
|
This is a file typed up for beginners on PBXing.
|
|
If you know anything about PBX's at all this file will do
|
|
you no good at all. It is very basic. Hope this helps some
|
|
of you beginners. Now, on with the Gfile.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
PART II: What are PBX's?
|
|
|
|
PBX's are telephone systems set up by very large
|
|
corporations to make long distance (LD) phone calls for free.
|
|
I have heard many definitions for PBX's:
|
|
-Public Brand Xchanges
|
|
-Personal Business Xchanges
|
|
-and a few other
|
|
Actually it stands for Private Branch Xchange [Useful to know
|
|
this when you are asked to define abbreviations on those
|
|
info-forms.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
PART III: How do PBX's Work?
|
|
|
|
You should be familiar with 1-800 dialups already
|
|
[1-800-xxx-xxxx]. If not get a gfile called "Phreaking - For
|
|
the Beginners." These 1-800 allow dialups form mainly
|
|
anywhere in the United States. But, not in some Foreign
|
|
countries. It depends on what WATS line Company you are
|
|
using. WATS [Wide Area Telephone Service] Lines are offered
|
|
by AT&T at a rate of around $2000 dollars a month, which
|
|
allows and unlimited amount of phone calls to that companies
|
|
1-800 number. The PBX works almost the same as a MCI, SPRINT,
|
|
and other LD services work. It uses an INWATS [Inward Wats]
|
|
line t the employees [or phreakers in your case]
|
|
phone charge. Next, you dial the PBX, the computer on the
|
|
other end will pick up the phone automatically and send you a
|
|
tone [Similar to a dial tone]. This is when you enter you
|
|
code. Next, enter the long distance number you wish to call
|
|
[known as the Target Number]. If the code you entered is a
|
|
valid one, the computer will call the number automatically
|
|
and connect you too the BBS you wish to call. If you have a
|
|
friend that moved or just some one you want to chat with that
|
|
lives out of your area code. You can also do this without the
|
|
use of you computer, just do it manually on your receiver.
|
|
|
|

|
PART IV: PBX's of The Past
|
|
|
|
A few years ago, PBX's were constructed without codes
|
|
All you would have to do was call up the PBX [1-800-xxx-xxxx]
|
|
and enter the number you wished to call. But then, Companies
|
|
soon found out that their phones were being used by other
|
|
people than their employees. So, they decided to add a little
|
|
code to keep these people [Phreakershose were the
|
|
good 'ole days. But it hasn't stopped anybody yet. And they
|
|
never will.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
PART V: Dialing a PBX.
|
|
|
|
To dial the PBX, get a blank screen on your
|
|
Communication package and type:
|
|
|
|
ATDT1800xxxxxxx,,,,,CODE,,Target.
|
|
|
|
Each comma tells the computer to pause for two seconds. You
|
|
will have to fool around with a few times to find out the
|
|
pauses. Also, you will have to experiment a little to find
|
|
the length of the code.
|
|
|
|

PART VI: Conclusion
|
|
|
|
That's all. If you need to get in touch with one of
|
|
the NARC members you can get a hold of them on one of the
|
|
following boards:
|
|
1.) Nuclear Wasteland [Home of NARC]

|
2.) Balanced pH
|
|
3.) Critical Condition
