call via another carrier's network, whether for cost, quality, or circuit
availability reasons, you may do so in Equal Access regions. To access an
alternate long distance carrier after Equal Access, a customer dials
10xxx+1/0+7 or 10 digit telefone number. Note that xxx is the "carrier access
code (CAC)." A few CACs currently in use are listed below.
220 ........ Western Union 666 ........ Lexitel
222 ........ MCI 777 ........ Sprint
333 ........ US Telefone 888 ........ SBS
444 ........ Allnet
Thus, in an Equal Access region, to dial Fred in Orlando, a customer would
dial 1+305+994+9966 to place his call on his primary carrier, or to place it on
another network, he could dial: 10222+1+305+994+9966, and the call would go
over MCI facilities (in this case). Eventually, after many more long distance
services get into the act, there will be a directory of the various long
distance companies and their CACs, and deciding which carrier to use for any
particular call to get the bet rate will be beyond the ability of everyone
except phone phreaks.
================
The 950 Exchange
================
As discussed, the 950 central office exchange is currently a "roaming" access
port for various long distance carriers. In areas that have 950, the access to
carriers is standardized. Thus, someone travelling to several different areas
need only know the 950 number of the carrier he uses to access it from any area
(provided that it have 950 active). Originally, the 950 exchange was designed
to correspond with the 10xx carrier access code used for Equal Access. For
example, 950-1022 would be the same carrier as 1022 (+telephone number).
However, it was later found that the 100 codes available for use as 10xx CACs
would be insufficient to handle he number of long distance carriers. So, the
common carrier access code was increased by one digit, to 10xxx, thus
increasing the number of possible CACs to 1000. To keep the 950 exchange
consistent with the non CAC, the Bell Operating Companies have opted to change
the 950-10xx to 950-0xxx. The xxx in the 950-0xxx remains the same as the xxx
in the 10xxx carrier access code. The new modified 950 numbering pan is now
active in Philadelphia (Bell Atlantic) among other areas.
After Equal Access is well under way, the 950 exchange will be used in
certain areas that cannot be equipped for the standard Equal Access dialing
plans. This includes step-by-step, #1 crossbar, #5 crossbar, #2ESS, and #3ESS
offices. Customers in areas served by these types of switching equipment will
dial 950-0xxx, wait for acknowledgement tone from the carrier, and then dial a
"personal identification number" and destination telefone number,and the call
will be completed on the selected carrier's facilities. Initially, billing
will be handled by the carrier itself, and supervisory information and ANI will
not be provided by the local Bell Operating Company.
There are three main advantages to the 950 central office exchange and
protocol. They are: a) universal access for all areas, b) 950-exchange numbers
are "trunk side access." This means that the long distance carrier has direct
trunks going to it from a Bell toll office or local central office. These
trunks are interoffice lines, not customer type (POTS) lines, and supposedly
insure higher quality of connection. And, c) 950-exchange numbers are toll and
message unit free. On metered-usage (i.e., not "flat rate") customer lines,
they cost nothing. In most areas they are free from coin stations, with
Colorado as one notable exception.

Costs
=====
Each long-distance carrier must choose the type(s) of service it wishes to
provide to its customers. These different types of service were outlined
earlier as "Feature Groups." The costs of these Feature Groups vary directly
with the complexity and quality of the service itself. The following table
outlines the cost to the carrier of each available Feature Group. It is based
on the monthly rate per line for 9000 minutes of circuit use, and assumes the
carrier and Bell switch are 15 miles apart.
FG non-Equal Access Equal Access
--------------------------------------------------------
A $329.94 $709.20
B 329.94 721.80
C 752.40 ** N/A **
D ** N/A ** 752.40
--------------------------------------------------------
These figures are a lot more significant than they might appear. They
indicate that after Equal Access, in order to compete with the giants such as
AT&T, MCI, etc., smaller long distance companies will use Feature Group A or B
type service in order to provide significantly lower rates to their customers
than companies subscribing to Feature Group D service (like AT&T, MCI, etc).
This will cause a unique type of equilibrium to form. Customers willing to
dial an access number, authorization code, and destination number and put up
with lower quality service will be able to save a lot of money. This seems
faintly reminiscent of pre-Equal Access times....
====================
Directory Assistance
====================
Each Bell Operating Company will be responsible for providing intra-LATA
operator services. When a customer dials (1)+411 or (1)+555+1212 for local
directory assistance, he will reach a Bell operator who will service requests
for listed numbers within the customer's LATA. Requests for numbers in LATAs
other than the calling customer's may be handled at the discretion of the local
operating company. Initially, the Bell Operating Companies will meet the
responsibility for providing directory assistance services by contracting it to
a long distance carrier or carriers (currently AT&T). All inter-LATA directory
assistance services will be provided by the inter-LATA carrier (IC). ICs may
also provide 800 Enterprise service or other toll free type directory
assistance services. See table.
=================================================================
Intra-LATA:
=================================================================
HNPA 411/555-1212 BOC
*FNPA NPA+555-1212 BOC
HNPA 10xxx+555-1212 intra-LATA carrier
*FNPA 10xxx+NPA+555-1212 intra-LATA carrier
=================================================================
Inter-LATA:
=================================================================
HNPA (10xxx)+1+555-1212 IC
Page 152
The Official Phreaker's Manual
FNPA (10xxx)+1+NPA+555-1212 IC
=================================================================
* When LATA boundaries cross NPA boundaries (rare).
FNPA = Foreign Numbering Plan Area (area code).
HNPA = Home Numbering Plan Area (area code).
At first glance, the above table appears somewhat complex. But, if you
understand the concept of LATAs and carriers, it is easily understood.
Essentially, all local Bell Operating Companies will maintain their own
directory assistance services. When a customer dials 411 or 555-1212, he will
reach a BOC directory assistant. Additionally, each long distance carrier that
wishes to provide directory assistance to its customers will also have DA
facilities. And, when a customer dials a directory assistant (NPA+555-1212) on
a carrier, he will reach an operator of that particular long distance carrier.
The key here is LATAs. If a customer wants to find a number that is within his
LATA, no long distance carrier is involved. It is handled strictly by the
Local Bell Operating Company. If a customer is seeking a number that is not
within his LATA, he must use the services of an inter-LATA (long-distance)
carrier.
======================
TSPS Operator Services
======================
Traffic Service Position System (TSPS) operator services will be handled much
in the same fashion as directory assistance services, with a few differences.
As with DAs, each Bell Operating Company and each inter-LATA carrier will
maintain its own TSPS operator facilities (or cordboard I suppose, if they
cannot afford TSPS). When a customer dials simply 0 (operator), he will reach
a BOC TSPS operator. The BOC TSPS will be able to handle all types of
intra-LATA operator-assisted traffic including (but not limited to): collect,
third party billing, Bell credit card, coin, verification and emergency
interrupt, and requests for emergency aid. BOC TSPS will be unable to complete
calls for customers outside of the customer's LATA. Thus, inter-LATA operator
assistance will be handled by an inter-LATA carrier TSPS (IC TSPS). An IC TSPS
will handle all previously mentioned types of calls that require inter-LATA
transport (i.e., the call originates and terminates in different LATAs). When
a customer dials 0+NXX-XXXXX or 0+NPA+NXX-XXXX, the central office will
determine if the call is destined for another LATA. If it is not, the call
will be sent to the Bell TSPS for appropriate handling. If the call is bound
for another LATA (and his determination is made based on the NXX or NPA+NXX),
then the call will be sent off to the customer's primary long-distance carrier
(since only 0+ was dialed). If the customer wishes to use a different
carrier's operator services, he would dial 10xxx+0+number, and the carrier
specified by the 10xxx carrier access code would receive the call. Note: if a
customer dials 10xxx+0+number, and the call is an intra-LATA call, he will get
a recording, "We're sorry, the number you dialed cannot be reached with the
carrier access code you dialed. Please check the code and try again or call
your carrier for assistance." (Western Electric KS-22550 central office tape
list no. 46.) Until the Bell Operating Companies can install their own TSPS
facilities and networks, they will (continue to) lease capacity from AT&T TSPS.
That is, AT&T will handle the intra-LATA traffic for the BOCs on a contract
basis. In the meantime, AT&T will continue to handle its own long-distance
operator services while the other inter-LATA carriers will have to implement
their own operator networks from scratch. My estimation is that you won't be
able to dial 10222+0 for an MCI TSPS operator until sometime around the year
2590. And even then they will probably be cordboard.
In addition to the changes in TSPS described above, there will be certain
Page 153
The Official Phreaker's Manual
modifications to the software and hardware involved in the TSPS operator
system. Most critical, and of paramount importance to the telecommunications
enthusiast is changes in circuit associated signalling (CAS). This is
signalling to and from the TSPS facility. When a customer dials 0 (operator) or
10xxx+0 (IC operator), a succession of events occurs. First, the end office
seizes a trunk to the appropriate operator facility (this assumes that no
access tandem is involved). The operator service facility responds with a wink
(proceed signal) and the end office outpulses the CALLED number (or KP+ST if 0
only dialed). The operator service (OS) facility will then come off-hook to
signal that it is ready to receive ANI information. The end office outpulses
the ANI information in the format of KP+II+7 digits+ST (or ST'). If there is
ANI failure, a KP+02+ST (or ST') will be sent. "ST'" stands for STart "prime",
and is indicative of a coin call (i.e., dial 0 from a coin station). A normal
ST terminating the ANI sequence means that the call is originating from a
noncoin station. See table for ultimate description.

special toll 10xxx+0+7/10d KP+7/10d+ST' KP+II+7d+ST'
=============================================================================
Note: ST=Start, ST'=STart prime, ST''=Start double prime, ST'''=STart triple
prime.
Once again, the above table appears somewhat intimidating in its complexity.
All these STs, ST primes, etc. Actually, the only purpose of the starts is to
distinguish to the TSPS machine exactly what type of call the customer is
placing and from what type of telefone he is calling. "Special toll" calls are
collect, credit card, and third-party billing type calls. Here is an example
of a complete dialing and outpulsing sequence for an operator service call:
Page 154
The Official Phreaker's Manual
from a coin fone, a customer dials 0+ (or 10xxx+) 303+979-9997. The central
office would seize a trunk to the operator service facility and outpulse:
KP+303+979-9997+ST'. This indicates to the operator service facility that the
call is a special toll call originating from a coin telephone. The OS facility
comes off-hook and the central office would then outpulse KP+00+232+9969+ST.
This is he ANI information, and the ST indicates that the call is inter-LATA
(if it were intra-LATA, the sequence would be terminated with ST' instead).
Perhaps now I should explain screening. Certain telefones are "screened"
against placing certain types of calls. A screening code is a two digit
information carrier. For instance, 00 is "identified line" (no special
treatment), 01 is multiparty ONI (operator number identification), 02 is ANI
failure, 06 is hotel/motel, 07 is coinless (hospital/inmate fone), 08 is
inter-LATA restricted, 68 is hotel inter-LATA restricted, 78 is coinless
(hospital inmate) inter-LATA restricted, etc. A 98 is an AT&T Charge-A-Call
fone (those blue fuckers). More screening codes are allocated as they are
needed. Note that the original TSPS screening design only allowed for single
digit information digits. They were later found to be insufficient.
I believe that the operator services have been adequately covered, so I will
now move on to other aspects of Equal Access.
=============
Routing Codes
=============
The TTC (terminating toll centre) and special routing codes will continue to
be used in inter-LATA networks. These 0xx and 1xx type codes, which sometimes
precede operator routing codes, will be assigned to various ICs on an
individual basis. When 0xx and 1xx codes serve as pseudo-central office code,
they will be coordinated such that it will avoid IC conflicts. The
Numbering/Dialing Planning Group of the Central Services Organization (sounds
like some sort of Communist governing body) will provide assistance where the
assignment of coordinated codes is necessary.
==================
Special Area Codes
==================
Special area codes, also called Service Area Codes (SACs) presented the
designers of Equal Access with an interesting problem. SACs are N00 type area
codes, such as 700, 800, and 900. They are used for special services and
unlike normal area codes, are not associated with a particular state or region.
Each long distance carrier will be allocated its own exchanges in each service
area code. Thus, when a customer places a call to a number in a service area
code, the central office will examine the exchange of the telefone number and
route the call over the proper carrier's facilities. The customer will be
totally oblivious to this process. Current SACs include 700 (teleconferencing),
800 (toll free services), and 900 (dial-it services). There are currently
plans under way to implement the 600 area code, although its exact uses are not
yet clear.
================
Signalling to IC
================
Each long distance carrier that wishes to serve a particular LATA must
establish a point of presence (POP) in that LATA. A carrier's POP is a toll
office that receives toll traffic destined for another LATA. A POP is a centre
for inter-LATA transport of toll traffic. This traffic will be directed to it
Page 155
The Official Phreaker's Manual
from a Bell central office, either an end office or an access tandem (AT). An
access tandem is simply a Bell office which directs long distance traffic from
a number of local end offices to a number of different inter-LATA carriers. To
pass call details (such as called and calling numbers) from the Bell local
office to the inter-LATA carrier, a signalling system was designed that employs
current multifrequency (MF) signalling protocol. When a customer dials
10xxx+(1/0)+(NPA)+NXX+, the end office will seize a trunk to the appropriate IC
as determined by the 10xxx CAC (or primary carrier if no CAC is dialed). Note:
this happens as soon as the customer finishes dialing the exchange, even though
he may still be dialing the last four digits of he telefone number. After the
end office has seized a trunk to the IC, the IC will return a wink, which is
the signal to proceed. Then, the end office will send ANI information, in the
format of: KP+II+10 digit ANI+ST. If the carrier is not to receive ANI
information from the Bell Operating Company (i.e., they are not paying for it),
then only KP+ST is sent. Presumably, by now the customer has completed dialing
the last four digits of the destination telefone number, so the end office will
send: KP+7 or 10 digit CALLED number+ST. Note several things here: 1) The IC
does not send a wink when it is ready to receive CALLED number information. 2)
ANI information is ten digits, plus a two-digit screening code, and 3) The
central office's outpulsing to the IC overlaps the customer's dialing.
Some ANI screening codes include: 00 (identified POTS), 01 (ONI multiparty),
02 (ANI failure), 06 (hotel without room identification), 07 (coinless,
hospital, inmate, etc.), 08 (inter-LATA restriction), 10 (test call), 20 (AIOD
calls, listed DN sent), 27 (coin call), and 95 (test call). These are the same
or similar as the screening codes used in operator service signalling.
In addition to the domestic signalling design outlined above, a new
international signalling system has been designed for use with Equal Access.
It also uses two-stage, overlapping outpulsing. After a customer has completed
dialing (10xxx)+011+CC (CC is country code), the Bell end office will seize a
trunk to he appropriate IC (or international carrier, if direct routing is
available). The IC/INC will respond with a wink, and the end office will
outpulse: KP+1NX+YXX+CCC+ST. Each of these three groups of routing information
indicate something different abut the international call being placed. The 1NX
is the "international system routing code, one for each type of call routing."
I have absolutely no idea what that means, and no one I have talked to at Bell,
AT&T, MCI, CCITT, ITT, the CSO and FCC have any idea either. Next, the YXX is
the carrier routing code. It is actually XXX, Which is the three digits of the
10xxx CAC for the particular carrier being accessed. Finally, CCC is the
country code, padded with a zero if necessary.
One may wonder why the CAC is signalled forward when a trunk is seized
directly to the carrier itself. The reason for this is that in some cases a
direct trunk to the carrier is not available and the call must be routed
through an access tandem, which is responsible for routing calls to a variety
of different long distance carriers.
====================
Switch Compatibility
====================
Full-feature Equal Access will become available first for Western Electric
#1ESS switching systems. It will be available first in generic 1E8 (1AE8 for
#1A ESS). Later, generic 5E2 for #5ESS, generic 2B4 for #2B ESS, generic
BCS-16 for Northern Telecom DMS-100, and generics 209 and 302 for DMS-10 will
provide full-feature Equal Access capabilities in those types of end office
switching equipment. The Western Electric #4ESS, #1 and 1A ESS, #5ESS, and the
Northern Telecom DMS-200 machines which serve as toll offices or access tandems
will be capable of receiving the new Equal Access signalling format, after
required generic development. Other switches (such as all crossbar offices)
Page 156
The Official Phreaker's Manual
will not be able to handle the new signalling format.
=====
LATAs
=====
LATAs, Local Access and Transport Areas, are the entire key to the
administration of Equal Access. They can be thought of as miniature area
codes. A telefone call can never cross a LATA boundary except on an inter-LATA
carrier. However, there are certain exceptions to this. For example, in the
state of Colorado, which consists of two LATAs, the local Bell Operating
Company (Mountain Bell), which serves as the intra-LATA (i.e., calls to/from
the same LATA) carrier, may also serve as inter-LATA (to/from different LATAs)
carrier within Colorado.
There are also exceptions in the corridor region of the New York/New
Jersey/Pennsylvania area.
The forty-eight continental United States consist of 161 LATAs. Some states,
such as Deleware, consist of only one LATA, while others, such as Illinois, can
have up to 14 or more. Each LATA is given a name. For instance, Pennsylvania
consists of six LATAs: Philadelphia, Capital, Northeast, Altoona, Pittsburgh,
and Erie (independent telco).
==============
A Few Thoughts
==============
In 1973, Chrysler, A&P, RCA, Phillips Petroleum, S.S. Kresge, Boeing
Aircraft, International Harvester, Woolworth's, Greyhound, Firestone, Litton,
and General Foods, among others, each reported annual profits of less than $150
million. In that same year, the Telephone Company wrote off, as being
uncollectable, debts of $150 million.
In 1974, the Bell System had direct interests in at least 276 organizations,
many of them not related to the telefone industry. Bell also had interlocking
financial arrangements with such corporations as the Chase Manhattan Bank, IBM,
Prudential Insurance, Sears Roebuck, General Motors, U.S. Steel, and Lever
Brothers. Should the need have arisen, the Bell System in 1974 could have
exercised control of 400 billion dollars, fully one-third of that year's gross
national product.
From: Hyde, J. Edward, The Phone Book. Henry Regnery Publishing Company,
Chicago Illinois, 1976. ISBN 0-8092-8008-6.
There are many viewpoints as to the future course of the telefone industry.
The general consensus among most Telco employees is that the children of AT&T
(i.e., the seven regional holding companies into which the Bell System was
divided) will someday be reassembled into the original Bell System, and all
will be well and good in the world of telecommunications again. I tend to
disagree with this. I think that within three decades the entire telefone
industry will be consolidated and nationalized. It will be owned and operated
entirely by the United States Federal Government. This will accomplish several
goals of the government. First, the immense revenue from telefone services
will provide great financial resources for the federal government. Rates for
telefone services will skyrocket far out of the range of affordability, quality
of service will deteriorate to a point of unusability, and meanwhile
politicians will get rich.
Second, once the government controls the telefone system, monitoring the
general public will become infinitely easier. Big Brother will be able to keep
and eye, or rather, an ear on the general population, and giant step forward in
Page 157
The Official Phreaker's Manual
ultimate government control of peoples' lives will be achieved. Most people
won't know anything about this, and even if they do, they won't give a shit
because by then the fucking government will have already invaded every
remaining private aspect of the individual's life.
To those who find it utterly unthinkable that the federal government would
ever assume control of the telefone industry, I would call attention to the
situation that existed between 1917 and 1919. During this time the government
controlled the phone system of the United States. J. Edward Hyde sums it up
beautifully:
Between 1917 and 1919, the Federal Government did control the phone
industry. Since then, the most charitable historians have blamed the
subsequent mess on the First World War. Others blame it on the democrats. But
the fact is that it was a fiasco of the bureaucracy's own making, combined with
intracompany sabotage.
Today, in those countries where the phone service is nationally owned, the
service runs from poor to nonexistent. Would you want the government that gave
you the Russian wheat deals, Defense Department overruns, Amtrak, and the
Postal Service handling your phone problems?

Equal Access and Modem Autodialers by Shadow 2600
Now that AT&T is being divested of its local telephone companies, phone
customers across the nation have to choose their long distance carrier as equal
access is phased in. Advertising campaigns emphasize such aspects as low rates
and operator assistance, but no one mentions a factor that will affect modem
users who use auto dialers for long distance calls. Not all of the alternate
long distance carriers provide called party answering supervision on all calls.
Called party answering supervision basically has the telephone company start
billing only when the called party answers the telephone. However, many of the
alternate long distance companies still operate with the "fixed timeout" basis
for charging. That is, if a call is held for a fixed length of time (usually
30 seconds) the charging starts, whether or not the call was answered. This
could cause modem owners large bills if they use autodialers to make long
distance calls. Modems are usually set up to wait up to one minute when
attempting to make a call, and thus have to timeout through busy signals, long
call setup sequences, extender waits, and similar problems. This could result
in many billed but never answered calls.
Some of the other carriers provide it on calls to some cities, and others
not support it at all. Only AT&T Communications provides called party
answering supervision on all calls to all points at this time. It is almost
impossible to get information on how a long distance company charges its calls
as as they don't want to reveal how their billing is handled. The alternate
carriers get called party supervision when the destination location goes equal
access. However, there has been no quick action on the part of the alternate
long distance companies to make use of the supervision data as they would have
to get equipment for passing the information back to the billing computer at
the originating point. Thus called party answering supervision information
often ends up being ignored by these carriers even when available. Another
point to remember is that called party answering supervision's availability
depends on whether the destination has equal access, not the originating
location. The lower long distance rates of alternate long distance rates must
be weighed against the time out problem as it affects autodialing modems. One
way to circumvent this is merely to set your modem to a shorter
waiting-for-connect time, but this may not provide enough time for the call to
go through. [For more information on this and other telecommunications topics

Toward Universal Information Services Via ISDN
~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~
by Taran King
From PROTO newsletter of AT&T Bell Laboratories
------------------------------------------------------------
Phase one, the Present.
~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~
The local network of today, although still largely voice-oriented, is already
on the path to Universal Information Services. Lightguide fiber is
dramatically expanding the capacity of local networks, helping to lower the
costs and increase the demand for high-band width, Information Age services.
And public networks are increasingly digital and geared for data and special
services. For example:
o The AT&T Network Systems 5ESS (TM <riiiight>) switch, designed by Bell
Laboratories, can serve as the hub of a local deployment of remote modules at
locations up to 100 miles from a host central office.
o The Integrated Special Services Network (ISSN) is a channel network that
provides special services, customer control options and digital private lines
rearrangeable under software control. The ISSN incorporates digital carrier
terminating equipment such as the D4 Channel Bank, D5 Digital Terminal System
and Digital Access and Cross-connect System (DACS).
o The New Centrex is bringing greater levels of customer control, improved
services and a broad range of data capabilities to the business customer.
Today's public networks consist of multiple or overlay networks. The public
switched network, or circuit network, mainly for voice, is the base network.
Two kinds of overlay networks provide special services. Channel networks carry
private lines leased by large customers and transmit much of today's data and
image traffic; they also handle traffic for network operations support. Packet
networks carry data communications, while packet switching is used internally
to public networks for common channel signaling to set up, route and take down
calls, or to give customers information. "Overlay networks help
telecommunications companies efficiently meet growing demand for digital
transmission and special services," says Stan Johnston, Market Planning
Manager, Network Systems Evolution, in AT&T Network Systems. "Their integration
into a single network, however, would be still more effective."
Phase two, the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN).
~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~
The ISDN is a concept to which AT&T is committed - and it's the foundation
for Universal Information Services. The central idea of ISDN, as AT&T Network
Systems sees it, is to provide an individual user a link to the local central
office of generous band-width - a digital subscriber line that can carry
144,000 bits per second (sure beats 2400 baud!). The band-width is subdivided
into two 64,000-bit channels, which may carry voice or data or both, and one
16,000-bit channel for packetized signaling information or data transport.
Such a link provides convenient "integrated" network access by accommodating
voice, data and signaling over a single line.
The ISDN will make it easier for a customer to get varied services from
public and private networks. More bandwidth for big customers will be
available through another ISDN access standard, the extended digital subscriber
Page 161
The Official Phreaker's Manual
line, which provides 1.5 billion bits per second as 24 channels of 64,000 bits
each.
In 1986, new software from Bell Labs will enable the 5ESS switch to
accommodate ISDN-sized 144,000-bit channels that standardize and simplify
subscribers' use of local networks. AT&T is committed to future products that
will also be ISDN-compatible. Other vendors, too, some of whom already plan to
build premises, terminal, and other equipment to ISDN standards, will make ISDN
a cooperative effort.
By providing integrated digital access to networks, ISDN will make important
progress toward the goal of Universal Information Services. But overlay
networks will continue to divvy up the transport job. And messages needing
less than 144,000 bits per second will not fill their allotted bandwidth,
leaving capacity under utilized.
Phase three, Universal Information Services.
~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~
Rooted in the fertile ground of 5ESS switches, ISDN equipment and
technologies such as wideband packet transport, Universal Information Services
will bear fruit during the 1990s. From a single kind of network will hang
services as different as apples, oranges and pears. Just as network access was
integrated in ISDN, transport functions will increasingly be integrated by
powerful new network equipment evolved from equipment developed for the ISDN.
Where customers once got standard-sized ISDN channels, they'll get big
bandwidth for large jobs, little bandwidth for small jobs.

The Official Phreaker's Manual
TOWARD UNIVERSAL INFORMATION SERVICES VIA ISDN
Phase one, the present. The local network of today, although still largely
voice oriented, is already on the path to Universal Information Services.
Lightguide fiber is dramatically expanding the capacity of local networks,
helping to lower the costs and increase the demand for high-bandwidth,
Information Age services. And public networks are increasingly digital and
geared for data and special services. For example:
* The AT&T Network Systems 5ESS switch, designed by Bell Laboratories, can
serve as the hub of a local digital network through deployment of remote
modules at locations up to 100 miles from a host central office.
* The Integrated Special Services Network (ISSN) is a channel networks that
provides special services, customer control options and digital private lines
rearrangeable under software control. The ISSN incorporates digital carrier
terminating equipment such as the D4 Channel Bank, D5 Digital Terminal System
and Digital Access and Cross-connect Systems (DACS).
* The New Centrex is bringing greater levels of customer control, improved
services and a broad range of data capabilities to the business customer.
Todays public networks consist of multiple or overlay networks. The public
switched network, or circuit network, is the base network. Two kinds of
overlay networks provide special services. Channel networks carry private
lines leased by large customers and transmit much of today's data and image
traffic; they also handle traffic for network operations support. Packet

The ISDN will make it easier for a customer to get varied services from
public and private networks. More bandwidth for big customers will be
available through another ISDN access standard, the extended digital subscriber
line, which provides 1.5 million bit per second as 24 channels of 64,000 bits
each.
In 1986, new software from Bell Labs will enable the 5ESS switch to
accommodate ISDN-sized 144,000-bit channels that standardize and simplify

will also be ISDN-compatible. Other vendors, too, some of whom already plan to

MCI INTERNATIONAL
MCI International provides private-line voice service to several overseas
countries, and data and message services, including telex, cablegram, leased
channel, and packet switching communications, to more than 200 overseas points.
MCI has moved into two new areas of service: International direct-dial
telephone service and international electronic mail and hard-copy delivery
services.
International Record Services
TELEX SERVICE (domestic and international) permits instantaneous, two-way,
written communications with other subscribers worldwide. Customers can send
messages at any time, even though the receiving terminal may be unattended. MCI
International offers access to its telex service from a variety of terminals
and networks; not only subscribers with telex terminals but also those with
communicating word processors, data terminals or computers that communicate
over telephone lines can take advantage of MCI International telex service. To
subscribers connected to its own telex network, MCI International offers World
Message Services--a package of communications offerings including telex,
cablegram and MCI Mail services. Various service enhancements are available to
save time, improve operating efficiency and simplify records keeping for telex
users.
CABLEGRAM SERVICE, the traditional means of international written
communications, offers flexibility in delivery and economical rates for shorter
messages. Cablegrams can be delivered to virtually any overseas
point.Subscribers with telex terminals or various other types of equipment can
access and TELUS cablegram switch and take advantage of such service
Page 167
The Official Phreaker's Manual
enhancements as abbreviated addressing and departmental billing.
LEASED
CHANNEL SERVICE provides an exclusive line between a U.S. firm and it's
overseas office for private communications 24 hours a day. Each MCI
International leased channel is tailored to meet the needs of a specific
customer for teleprinter, facsimile, voice and/or data traffic. For subscribers
with several offices requiring private communications with each other, MCI
International offers a versatile message-switching service. Voice/data leases
can be configured to meet a whole array of communicating needs; for example,
one channel might carry data traffic from a computer at night, voice
communications during office hours, and simultaneous teleprinter messages at
any time. Data channels can handle requirements for traffic at any speed from
1200 bits per second to 1.544 megabits per second.
IMPACS SERVICE uses packet-switching technology to provide international
communications service between data terminals and computers. Impacs offers
on-line, real-time connections and enables many types of incompatible systems
to communicate. Impacs service offers virtually error-free transmission
because of the error-detection and retransmission capability of the network.
INSTALINK SERVICE allows businesses overseas to use regular telex equipment to
access remote computing systems and databases in the U.S. Subscribers can
retrieve data from a computer-based information service or use a computing
system connecting to a packet-switching network in the U.S.
INTERNATIONAL
FACSIMILE SERVICE enables subscribers to send duplicates of original documents
overseas quickly and efficiently, even when neither the sender or the receiver
has facsimile transmission equipment, or when the sender and receiver have
incompatible equipment.
DATEL SERVICE provides automatic or voice-coordinated data transmission at
speeds up to 2400 bits per second. Either digital or analog facsimile traffic
can be transmitted via Datel. Datel facilities are conditioned to ensure
high-quality transmission. The MCI International switching center allows
communications between incompatible terminals.
MARITIME SERVICES provide instant, high--quality contact between ships at sea
or offshore rigs, and between these vessels and land-based subscribers
worldwide.
International Voice Services
PRIVATE
LINE SERVICE provides, fast, easy access to a single overseas location at an
economical monthly rate. This technically efficient system maximizes the use
of line capacity by recognizing idle time and assigning a speaker to a
transmission path only when the path is needed. Users can dial a four-digit
extension from a regular business phone to reach a key overseas location.
International Mail Services
WORLD
MESSAGE SERVICE subscribers can access the domestic electronic mail and
hard-copy delivery offerings of MCI Mail. In addition, MCI International is
developing fast, low-cost services that will deliver electronic messages and
high-quality printed documents worldwide.
Page 168
The Official Phreaker's Manual
Customer Service
THE CUSTOMER TROUBLE REPORTING ASSISTANCE CENTER at MCI International addresses
customer concerns such as equipment maintenance and service performance
questions. Customer service specialists, on duty 24 hours a day on business
days, answer questions and electronically route service requests to technicians
nationwide.
MCI DIGITAL INFORMATION SERVICES CORP.
MCI Digital Information Services, MCI's newest unit, provides high-speed,
low-cost, time-sensitive message delivery (MCI Mail), either electronically or
via hard copy.
MCI Mail provides time-sensitive document delivery to anyone, anywhere vial
MCI's long-distance telephone network. MCI Mail can reach a recipient
instantly, in four hours or less, or overnight by noon the next day. Prices
are as much as 90 percent lower than comparable time-sensitive mail delivery
services. MCI Mail can be delivered electronically, terminal to terminal, or
laser printed on letterhead stationery with the customer's signature.
MCI Mail customers can even order gifts and services direct through MCI Mail,
ranging from software and paper for personal computers to investment advisory
services to travel specials.
There are no sign-up, monthly service charges or "connect time" charges for MCI
Mail. MCI Mail can be used by virtually any personal computer, word processor,
electronic typewriter, data terminal, telex, or other digital communications
device. The service is accessed by a local telephone call or 800 number.
MCI Mail
INSTANT delivery to an "electronic" mailbox.
FOUR-HOUR paper delivery by courier to 17 major metropolitan areas regardless
of point of origin.
OVERNIGHT paper delivery by courier by noon the next day in 20,000 continental
U.S. cities.
MCI LETTER transmitted electronically to the MCI digital postal center nearest
its destination, then delivered locally by the U.S. Postal Service.
TELEX DISPATCH enables MCI Mail subscribers to transmit messages to the more
than 1.6 million telex subscribers worldwide.
VOLUME MAIL enables customers to send large mailings in a variety of letter
formats, at substantial savings in delivery time and expense.

THE INFINITY TRANSMITTER
TYPED BY THE GHOST WIND
FROM THE BOOK BUILD YOUR OWN
LASER, PHASER, ION RAY GUN & OTHER WORKING SPACE-AGE PROJECTS
BY ROBERT IANNINI (TAB BOOKS INC)
Description: Briefly, the Infinity Transmitter is a device which activates a
microphone via a phone call. It is plugged into the phone line, and when the
phone rings, it will immediately intercept the ring and broadcast into the
phone any sound that is in the room. This device was originally made by
Information Unlimited, and had a touch tone decoder to prevent all who did not
know the code from being able to use the phone in its normal way. This
version, however, will activate the microphone for anyone who calls while it is
in operation.
NOTE: It is illegal to use this device to try to bug someone. It is also
pretty stupid because they are fairly noticeable.

Circuit Operation: Not being the most technical guy in the world, and not being
very good at electronics (yet), I'm just repeating what Mr. Iannini's said
about the circuit operation. The Transmitter consists of a high grain
amplifier fed into the telephone lines via transformer. The circuit is
initiated by the action of a voltage transient pulse occurring across the
phone line at the instant the telephone circuit is made (the ring, in other
words). This transient immediately triggers a timer whose output pin 3 goes
positive, turning on transistors Q2 and Q3. Timer TM1 now remains in this
state for a period depending on the values of R17 and C13 (usually about 10
seconds for the values shown). When Q3 is turned on by the timer, a simulated
"off hook" condition is created by the switching action of Q3 connecting the
500 ohm winding of the transformer directly across the phone lines.
Simultaneously, Q2 clamps the ground of A1, amplifier, and Q1, output
transistor, to the negative return of B1,B2, therefore enabling this amplifier
section. Note that B2 is always required by supplying quiescent power to TM1
during normal conditions. System is off/on controlled by S1 (switch).
A crystal mike picks up the sounds that are fed to the first two
transistors of the A1 array connected as an emitter follower driving the
remaining two transistors as cascaded common emitters. Output of the
array now drives Q1 capacitively coupled to the 1500 ohm winding of T1.
R7 controls the pick up sensitivity of the system.
Diode D1 is forward biased at the instant of connection and essentially
applies a negative pulse at pin 2 of TM1, initiating the cycle. D2 clamps
any high positive pulses. C9 dc-isolates and desensitizes the circuit. The
system described should operate when any incoming call is made without ringing
the phone.
Schematic Diagram: Because this is text, this doesn't look too hot. Please
use a little imagination! I will hopefully get a graphics drawing of this
out as soon as I can on a Fontrix graffile.
To be able to see what everything is, this character: | should appear as a
horizontal bar. I did this on a ][e using a ][e 80 column card, so I'm sorry if
it looks kinda weird to you.

Construction notes: Because the damned book just gave a picture instead of step
by step instructions, and I'll try to give you as much help as possible. Note
that all the parts that you will be using are clearly labeled in the schematic.
The perfboard, knobs, 'gator clips, etc are optional. I do strongly suggest
that you do use the board!!! It will make wiring the components up much much
easier than if you don't use it.
The knob you can use to control the pot (R7). R7 is used to tune the IT so
that is sounds ok over the phone. (You get to determine what sounds good) By
changing the value of C13, you can change the amount of time that the circuit
will stay open (it cannot detect a hang up, so it works on a timer.) A value of
100 micro Farads will increase the time by about 10 times.
The switch (S1) determines whether or not the unit is operational. Closed is
on. Open is off. The negative return is the negative terminals of the battery!!
The batteries will look something like this when hooked up:

To hook this up to the phone line, there are three ways, depending upon what
type of jack you have. If it is the old type (non modular) then you can just
open up the wall plate and connect the wires from the transmitter directly to
the terminals of the phone.
If you have a modular jack with four prongs, attach the red to the negative
prong (don't ask me which is which! I don't have that type of jack... I've only
seen them in stores), and the green to the positive prong, and plug in. Try not
to shock yourself...
If you have the clip-in type jack, get double male extension cord (one with a
clip on each end), and chop off one clip. Get a sharp knife and splice off the
grey protective material. You should see four wires, including one green and
one red. You attach the appropriate wires from the IT to these two, and plug
the other end into the wall.
Getting the IT to work: If you happen to have a problem, you should attempt to
do the following (these are common sense rules!!) Make sure that you have the
polarity of all the capacitors right (if you used polarized capacitors, that
is). Make sure that all the soldering is done well and has not short circuited
something accidently (like if you have a glob touching two wires which should
not be touching.) Check for other short circuits. Check to see if the battery
is in right. Check to make sure the switch is closed.
If it still doesn't work, drop me a line on one of the Maryland or Virginia
BBSs and I'll try to help you out.
The sense output: Somehow or other, it is possible to hook something else up to
this and activate it by phone (like an alarm, flashing lights, etc.)
As of this writing, I have not tried to make one of these, but I will. If you
actually get it working, leave me a note somewhere.
I sure hope all you people appreciate this.

: SILVER BOX: AN ALTERNATE METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION :

: BY: THE LOCK LIFTER--1/25/85 :
: :
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
PARTS & EQUIPMENT:
(1) POCKET TONE DIALER (RADIO SHACK CAT. NO. 43-138)
(2) SINGLE POLE DOUBLE THROW SWITCH (TOGGLE, THE SMALLER THE BETTER)
(3) SOLDERING IRON
THIS MODIFICATION WILL ALLOW THE PRODUCTION OF A,B,C,&D TONES. WHEN YOU
FLIP THE SWITCH THE 3,6,9,&# KEYS WILL BECOME A,B,C,&D RESPECTIVELY. THE IC
INSIDE THE DIALER IS CAPABLE OF MAKING THESE TONES ALREADY, ALL WE MUST DO IS
CONNECT IT FULLY. THIS MOD CAN ALSO BE MADE TO MANY ELECTRONIC FONES THAT
CONTAIN A DTMF TONE ENCODING IC. THIS CHIP CAN BE IDENTIFIED BY THE NUMBER 5089
OR S2559 OR MK5380 OR TCM5087N. PIN 9 OF THESE CHIPS IS THE FOURTH COLUMN
KEYPAD INPUT WHILE PIN 5 IS THE THIRD COLUMN. NOW ON WITH THE CONSTRUCTION.
1) REMOVE THE BATTERY COVER, BATTERIES, AND THE SMALL SCREW. THE CASE SHOULD
NOW POP OPEN WITH A LITTLE PRESSURE.
2) OPEN THE CASE SO THAT THE HALF CONTAINING THE SPEAKER AND THE BATTERIES
IS ON YOUR LEFT WITH THE BATTERIES ON THE BOTTOM. YOU SHOULD NOW BE LOOKING AT
THE BACK OF 2 PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS.
3) FIND THE TWO ROWS OF SOLDER BEADS WHERE THE IC IS CONNECTED. THE UPPER
LEFT PIN OF THE 2 ROWS SHOULD HAVE NO SOLDER ON IT. THIS IS PIN 9 OF THE IC.
4) ATTACH A SHORT WIRE TO PIN 9.
5) SEE THE 8 GOLD WIRES GOING TO THE KEY PAD? UNSOLDER THE ONE 4TH FROM THE
LEFT AND CONNECT IT TO A SHORT WIRE.
6) SOLDER A SHORT WIRE INTO THE NOW VACANT HOLE IN THE KEYPAD PCB.
7) MELT OR DRILL A ROUND HOLE IN THE PLASTIC CASE FOR THE SWITCH. THE BEST
PLACE FOR THIS IS OPPOSITE THE SMALL PCB CONTAINING THE L.E.D.
8) INSERT THE SWITCH AND SCREW IT IN PLACE.
9) ATTACH THE WIRE FROM THE KEYPAD PCB TO THE CENTER OF THE SWITCH. ATTACH THE
OTHER TWO WIRES TO THE OTHER TWO POLES OF THE SWITCH. JUST CLOSE THE CASE, PUT
BACK IN THE SCREW AND BATTERIES.
THE SWITCH WILL NOW ALLOW THE 3RD COLUMN KEYS TO PRODUCE BOTH 3RD AND FOURTH
COLUMN TONES. HAVE PHUN
