DIVERTERS:



     A DIVERTER IS A NUMBER YOU

CALL THAT 'DIVERTS' YOUR CALL TO

ANOTHER NUMBER.  IT IS AVAILABLE

ANYWHERE, AND ESPECIALLY USED IN

NON-ESS AREAS, OR AREAS THAT ARE

IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING ESS.

A DIVERTER RESEMBLES CALL

FORWARDING IN THE WAY IT WORKS.

SAY YOU CALL NPA/XXX-XXXX AND IT

RINGS ABOUT THREE OR FOUR TIMES.

AFTER HEARING A CLUNK AND A FEW

CLICKS, IT WILL START TO RING AGAIN

[FAINTLY].  WHAT IT HAS DONE, WAS

FORWARD THE CALL FROM THE NUMBER

YOU CALLED TO A REQUESTED

DESTINATION #.  NOW ONCE THE CALL 

IS FORWARDED, THE CALLED PARTY WILL

PICK UP THE FONE.  YOU CAN EITHER

MAKE LIKE ITS AN OBSCENE FONE CALL

(HEAVY BREATHING, ETC), OR ASK FOR

SOMEONE THAT ISNT THERE.  NOW WHEN

THEY HANG UP, YOU WILL HEAR A CLICK

AND THEN A DIAL TONE.  IF YOU MAKE

A CALL NOW THAT # WILL BE BILLED 

FOR THE CALL, AND YOU WONT.  KEEP

THIS IN MIND.





HOW TO FIND A DIVERTER:



     DIVERTERS ARE EASILY FOUND BY

CRUISING THROUGH THE PHONE BOOK.

A 1/2 HOURS WORTH OF LOOKING THROUGH

THE YELLOW PAGES UNDER THE HEADINGS

OF 'DOCTORS', 'VETERANARIANS', 

'PLUMBERS' AND 'LOCKSMITHS' JUST 

TO NAME A FEW, CAN TURN UP DIVERTERS

THESE ARE PEOPLE WITH A 24 HOUR 

BUISNESS, BUT WHO CANNOT BE AT THE

OFFICE 24 HOURS.  SOME MAY HAVE 

ANSWERING SERVICES, BUT YOU HAVE TO

LEARN TO LISTEN FOR HOW A DIVERTER

SOUNDS.  YOU CAN ONLY USE DIVERTERS

THAT ARE LOCAL TO YOUR NPA.  FOR 

INSTANCE, 201-634-8417 IS A WORKING

DIVERTER FOR 'ASSOCIATE SECURITY'.

BUT USING A LD SERVICE TO CALL THEM

WONT WORK BECAUSE THE SERVICE HANGS

UP WHEN THEIR SIDE HANGS UP ALSO.



USES OF A DIVERTER



     SINCE A DIVERTER IS A LOCAL CALL

FOR YOU, YOU CALL IS NOT RECORDED AT

YOUR LOCAL CO [UNLESS THE OWNER

REQUESTED TO HAVE ALL CALLS TRACED

DUE TO PREVIOUS ABUSE].  THAT MAKES

THEM EXTREMELY USEFUL IN SETTING UP

CONFERENCES, CALLING LONG DISTANCE

(DUE TO THEIR QUALITY C


AT




CONNECTIONS <GRIN>), OR HACKING 

SYSTEMS SUCH AS TRW OR MARTIN 

MERETTA ENERGY.  SINCE THEY ARE

BILLED AND TRACED BACK TO THE 

DIVERTER, YOU GET AWAY SCOTT FREE.

WELL, I HOPE THIS FILE HAS EXPLAINED

DIVERTERS TO YOU, BUT IF YOU HAVE

ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS PLEASE FEEL

FREE TO ASK THEM.
