- HACKING WESTERN UNION'S EASYLINK

-
- Easylink is a system that allows you to send Telex, Telex II (TWX), mailgrams,
- telegrams, cablegrams, and a few others.
-
- First, either dial the local # or (800)325-4112 (for 300 baud). It will respond
- with EASYLINK, followed by ID? At this point, you should enter the code,
- which is in the format of:
-
- 01 ESL###### USERNAME.PASSWORD
-
- Where:
- 01 - says your are using full duplex
- ESL - says your are using Easylink
- ###### - a 6 digit account code
- USERNAME.PASSWORD - just that
-
- Once on, it will respond with a connection #, the date, and time. You will then
- see PTS, which stands for Proceed To Select. You can then type "/HELP" to see
- what you can do with the system.
-
- If you want to send a Telex, type the telex # followed by a plus(+). It will
- then respond with GA which stands for Go Ahead.
-
- Now type in the text. To send the text and stay on Easylink type lLLL; to send
- it and log off type MMMM. To abort the message, type EEEE. It will then say
- either "ACCEPTED" followed by a # or "MESSAGE DISCARDED."
-
- If you want to send a mailgram, type:
-
- /ZIP
- WHO TO
- ADDRESS 1
- ADDRESS 2 (optional)
- CITY ST ZIP+
-
- Make sure that the zip is followed by a plus (+). At the GA, type in the
- message and terminate it with LLLL. With mailgrams the return address belongs
- to whoever owns the account. More on changing this info in part II, or if you
- penetrate the system before then, write to us c/o TAP.
-
- For info on sending telegrams, editing, etc., type "/HELP" after any PTS prompt
- and it will give you a rundown.
-
- If you just want to check out the system and practice, log in using: 01
- USR999999 TEST.TEST This is their demo password. It no longer allows you to
- send actual letters, though.
-
- Another WU system that uses the same password format is FYI (For Your
- Information). It is at (800) 325-NEWS (6397) and it carries UPI news and other
- "goodies." Once on type CATALOG or UPIINDEX for help. Unfortunately, the demo
- password no longer works on this system.
