+Illegal

+ In the June issue 1988 of Britain's largest Commodore magazine "Commodo=
re
+ User", Mike Pattenden wrote about "Illegal": "Basically it revels in it=
s
+ downright naughtiness, but at the same time it reaffirms the reasoning
+ behind hacking".  "Illegal" was beyond reasonable doubt the most popula=
r
+ underground European "cracker" fanzine of the 80's, and a cornerstone o=
f
+ European outlaw hacking.   Editor Jeff Smart was busted in 1989 and was=
 told
+ never to publish a cracker fanzine again. Some may think this was just =
as
+ good, others may call it violation of the freedom of press. You can jud=

   5.  Connecting Up


   5.1.  How do I connect my computer to the outside world?

  First, we need to define what "outside world" means.  In this sense, we=
 are
  referring to the process of connecting the Commodore computer up to ano=
ther
  computer or computers and exchanging textual, binary, or graphical
  information.  To connect to another computer, one must have a
  Commodore computer system, a modem, a phone line, and a telecommunicati=
ons
  program (called a terminal emulator or terminal emulation program).
  While you can use this to connect to other individuals, to access great
  stores of online information you need to subscribe to an "online
  service", which can take many forms.  This type of service allows you
  to correspond with many people with a single phone call, and may permit
  you to contact people out of your area without a long distance phone ca=
ll.


   5.2.  What services can I use to get online?

  The following services can be accessed by a Commodore computer and
  allow the user to access online information.

    Bulletin Board System (BBS).    - Small system usually with one phone
        line operated by an individual. Fees are optional.  For a list of
        BBS systems in your area, contact Myles Skinner for a listing at
        [e-mail].

    Compuserve Information Service. - CompuServe has two Forums designed
        specifically for Commodore 8-bit computer users.  CBM Application=
s
        Forum (GO CBMAPP) deals with programming, geoProgramming,
        applications software, telecommunications, CP/M, utilities and
        hardware.  CBM Arts/Games/Music & GEOS Forum (GO CBMART) deals wi=
th
        GEOS in general, music (including SidPlayer and MIDI), games,
        graphics and graphics utilities.  Both Forums have full message
        boards and extensive data libraries, and both Forums have weekly
        real-time conferences.

        The CompuServe network is available virtually world wide.  The
        Commodore Forums are attracting increasing membership from Europe
        and Australia, and have begun to tap into the vast variety of
        Commodore files available around the world (some of the best new
        Commodore programs are coming in from Europe these days).  CompuS=
erve
        has an extensive network of local numbers throughout the United
        States and Canada and is also available through supplemental
        networks such as SprintNet and DataPac.  The number of direct
        CompuServe connect numbers in Europe is beginning to expand.

        While there is no standalone CompuServe navigator program availab=
le
        for Commodore users, CBMAPP has the CIS.EXE script set that
        automates Dialogue 128 on CompuServe, and also VIDAUT.BIN which w=
ill
        virtually automate Vidtex (which is available again through Softw=
are
        Support International).  In addition there is OFFLIN.HLP, a text
        file in CBMAPP, that provides a method for semi-automating access
        with any standard comm program and word processor.

        CompuServe's rates are as follows:

        STANDARD PRICING PLAN

        Membership Support Fee:                   $ 9.95/month

+       GenieLite

+       This is a subscription for the occasional user -- someone who

+       Genie's RoundTables.

+       Monthly subscription*:  $7.95/month
+       Per hour rate for all Genie services:  $2.75/hour

+       *GenieLite monthly subscription includes 5 free hours of e-mail u=
se.

+       Genie

+       This is our standard membership plan and is a tremendous value
+       for any of our members who use more than 6 or 7 hours a month.

+       Monthly subscription**:  $23.95/month
+       Per hour rate for all Genie services:  $2.75/hour
+       Additional prime time surcharge:  $1.00/hour

+       **Genie monthly subscription includes 9 free hours of Genie
+       services.  Monthly subscription is reduced to $18.95 for anyone w=
ho
+       had a Genie account prior to February 1, 1996.

+       GenieNet

+       Internet.  There are two different plans under the GenieNet banne=
r:

+       Option 1

+          The GenieNet Option 1 plan gives unlimited access to the Inter=
net
+          but without a graphical interface. This is total, unrestricted=
,
+          28.8Kbps access to the Internet, WWW, FTP, and Newsgroups.

+          Monthly subscription***:  $15.00/month
+          Per hour rate for all Genie services:  $2.75/hour
+          Additional prime time surcharge:  $1.00/hour

+          *** GenieNet Options 1 & 2 provide UNLIMITED Internet usage.

+       Option 2

+          The GenieNet Option 2 plan gives unlimited access to the Inter=
net
+          but this time with a graphical interface. In addition to the
+          features offered under Option 1, you'll also get free Netscape
+          Navigator software and the ability to create a personal web pa=
ge.

+          Monthly subscription***:  $29.00/month
+          Per hour rate for all Genie services:  $2.75/hour
+          Additional prime time surcharge:  $1.00/hour

+          *** GenieNet Options 1 & 2 provide UNLIMITED Internet usage.

+       Note: Two separate e-mail addresses, one on Genie and one on
+       GenieNet, are issued when you select either GenieNet subscription
+       option.

        The Commodore support area on GEnie is known as the Flagship
        Roundtable.  While there are a few premium services on GEnie that
        charge an extra price, all of the Flagship is available at the ba=
sic
        rate. The Flagship RT includes some "Real-Time Conferences" (RTCs=
)
        featuring classes or discussion of issues associated with Commodo=
re
        computers. Additionally, there is a BB (Bulletin Board), which wo=
rks
        much like Usenets comp.sys.cbm (only the discussion is broken dow=
n
        into categories and topics). Finally, the Flagship has an extensi=
ve
        library of Commodore files.

        The BB messages can be read economically by capturing all the new
        messages in a terminal programs capture buffer, and reading the
        messages off-line. Wizard, the C=3D GEnie fron end, supports this.

        Because GEnie is a general interest service,it supports many diff=
erent
        computers, and you can use any ASCII terminal program to connect =
to
        GEnie. Wizard is available, but not required. GEnie operates norm=
ally
|       at 300 - 28,800 bps.  There are local access numbers across the
        country.

lan,
        costs $20.00 a month and gives the user 20 hours of non-prime-tim=
e
        free each month.  Each hour over 20 is $1.80.  Access to the Inte=
rnet
via Delphi costs an additional $3.00 for both plans each month.

        a common protocol called TCP/IP.  This service is the result of a=

        U.S. defense experiment started in the late 1960's.  Due to its

ices.
        In some cases, as in universities, there is no cost to access the=

        "net", as it is called, and some other online services offer acce=

  To access online services you will need a functional Commodore computer
  that is physically able to have a modem of some kind attached to the
  computer.  The more common C64 and C128 are able to be used with a mode=
m,
  but computers like the Commodore C16, C116, some PETs and some older CB=
M
  business machines may require significant investments in order to be
  used.

  With a functional computer, you will need a modulator/demodulator
  (modem) unit of some kind.  There are two basic kinds that can be used
  on the Commodore computers:

  A standard RS-232 (EIA-232) external modem.

  These modems are very common in today's market, as they are usable on a=
ll
  computer systems.  They usually are constructed in a small rectangular
  box, have lights across the front, and have either a standard 9 or 25
  pin D-style connector on the back of the unit.  Speeds range from 300bp=
s
  to 28,800 bps and above.  This modem requires an interface cable of som=
e
  kind to connect to the Commodore computer.

  A Commodore compatible external modem.

  These modems are much less common in today's market.  Originally
  manufactured only by Commodore, some examples include the C1600 (300bps
  manual dial), C1650 (300bps, pulse dial), C1660 (300bps, DTMF dial), an=
d
  C1670 (1200bps, AT commands, DTMF/Pulse dial).  Although other
  companies manufacture compatible modems, it seems that the maximum spee=
d
  is 2400bps for all models.  This modem style plugs directly into the
  Commodore user port.

  Please note that all speeds marked are maximums.  Most modems will
  operate at any speed up to the maximum.  Most users agree that buying
  a Commodore compatible modem these days is an unwise move, except
  for special circumstances.  The suggestion is to purchase a standard
  modem and an interface to use the modem with the CBM machine.

  If you chhose to purchase a standard external modem, you must also
  purchase or build a suitable interface.  There are two major types
  of interfaces:

  Simple Cable Interface.

  This type of interface merely converts the nonstandard RS-232 pinout
  on the Commodore user port to the standard RS-232 pinout and performs
  voltage level translation as required by RS-232 specifications.  This
  interface can be purchased for $20 to $40 new or built by the user.

  There are a number of homemade interfaces available.  The TRANSACTOR
  published an interface in the Nov 87 issue (V8iss3) and Commodore Hacki=
ng
  Online Magazine published plans for one in issue 4 (See MailServer sect=
ion
  for retrieval instructions.  These are both supposed to emulate the
  VIC1011A that C=3D put out many years ago, and you might find one at a
  computer "flea market".  Another version is designed by Stephen Coan.

| the schematic in ASCII format.  The differences between the two is the
| Transactor one has switchable options for some of the leads and the
| Coan one is hard wired. (See Section 12.4 and 12.5 for interface design=
s)

  UART interface.

  To use a modem, a Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART)
  is needed.  When Commodore designed the CBM VIC-20, C64 and C128, they
  emulated a UART in software to keep costs down.  Although this works
  for slower speeds, there is a limit to how fast the software UART can
  function.  For faster access, a real UART is needed.  This type of
  interface provides a complete UART in a cartridge that plugs into the
  expansion port.  To utilize it, all software must be written to take
  advantage of the real UART.  UART interfaces can be purchased from
  CMD (Swiftlink), HART (HART Cartidge), or built from plans (DataPump).
  (See Section 13.6 for addresses and further information on UART cartrid=
ges.)

  The decision of which interface to buy depends on the speed of your mod=
em
  and the software you are using.

  The software UART on the Commodore 64 can handle speeds at up to 2400 b=
ps.
  The software UART of the Commodore 128 can handle speeds at up to 4800 =
for
  all software and 9600 bps for some very well-written software.

  If you are under these maximum limits for your system, the simple inter=
face
  cable will suffice, and most terminal programs can be used.

  For speeds between 2400 and 9600 bps (4800/9600 and 19200 bps on a C128=
), a
  number of options are open.  Some programs can use the simple interface=

  cable to allow this faster access.  Newer terminal software may be writ=
ten
  to exploit Daniel Dallmann's 9600 bps access technique, which requires
  some small modifications to the simple interface cable (see Section 12.=
5
  for more information).  Finally, some programs allow the use of a UART
  cartridge.

  For speeds above 9600 bps (19200 on a C128), a UART interface and an
  appropriate terminal program is your only option.


   5.4.  What kinds of terminal programs exist?

  There are many types and versions of telecomunications programs (referr=
ed
  to as terminal emulation programs or terminal programs).  Some are bett=
er
  than others, but individual users will ultimately decide which they
  like best.  Most terminal programs available today are Shareware, but
  some are still sold commercially, and some new commercial terminal
  programs are being sold.

  All of these programs include emulations of the popular terminals such =
as
  DEC VT100, VT102, VT52, and ANSI.  Also, each includes a number of
  file transfer protocols (See Section 6.1 for more information on transf=
er
  protocols).
