This issue is more of a bonus supliment to the this months realese of f41th (f41th 5) so we are being logical and are calling it f41th 6. We are releasing this issue in light of contemory events that are occuring in the hp underground, so the primary focus will be news of what has happend and what is to come. I'm not going to do a mad big editirial beacuse it seems this issue it's mainly me composing f41th (as usual).. so I suppose I should get on with the zine and start filling the K's :> Hope you enjoy. -hybrid. --OooOOOO)------------------------------------------------------------[OO)--- --OoOOOOo)-[ Underground News ]-( hybrid )-- --OooOOOO)------------------------------------------------------------[OO)--- Following recent US government server hacks, the FBI and secret services have begun one of the biggest hacker crackdowns ever. According to jp of AntiOnline.com, he was informed of a list of hackers that the FBI are currently investigating. He was then faxed a directive sent a list of hackers that where in included in a directive sent out to various ISPs ordering the loging of the included hackers in the list. The list of hackers that the FBI are supposed to be investigating is as follows: Sate mz_chick epoh Anacarda kimmie badfrog Becky iCBM rox Code0 Codex Sygma Cyberfire DigitalX Ibanez Spaceg0at Downfall Duk0r elf solarix VectorX f00t f0nz ganja Vie IO Cl0pz Bladex vallah jenna coolio hamster prym tr0n lure LD shortee LongDistance lothos blackhappy darkfaery crazygyrl Diesl0w blanc 09 Acidkill Phear nonlinea optic Overdose P0rt MostHated fryz hybrid ghost Rizzy prophet shdwknght sidney status taylor Texan Borgie d0lz timebomb Blakforge Type-0 watchy wolf303 wookie Yorph random totempole cyberf|re jos Mcintyre Eckis Twisted Pantera angelo espionage fenderkev ne0h digital ID-50 taylor cult_hero socked problem mal_vu minos series ben-z rslink- judy The following IRC channels where also listed as being monitored: #creep #j00nix #tk #pascal #ex0dus #faggotsex #gayfagsex #gaysex #hackunix #hax0r #lezbiandsex #linux #sex_gay #sex_pl #shellx.log The following groups where listed as being under investigation: GlobalHell milw0rm Total-ka0s D4rkcyde 2600 enforcers hackphreak worlddomination The following Corperations/organisations/establishments where included in the list as being victims of the above groups and indivduals: Meeting Place AT&T Latitude Sprint MCI GTE Alltell Steve Huron Josh Teplow 1-800 1-888 DCCCD LCET Walburg Dillon Reed 3-com 3com arizona.edu umich.edu uchicago.edu udel.edu uga.edu uwashington.edu Now, lets examine these listings in a little more detail.. Is it me, or do more than half the people in the list have _no skills_? for instance, I'm sure an IRC eggdrop bot is a real threat to national security, I would be interested to know the origin of that list becasue it seems to be composed by someone with /names teqn1q. People have been saying that the FBI most wanted hackers list is probably a hoax, but there are a few factors that leed mr to believe it's not. For starters some of the names included are taken from 'shoutz' in txt files for example: AcidKill, ever heard of him? - He's someone I used to know, so I made a shout to him on one of my files (http://dtmf.org/hybrid/hyfiles/9x_lmpt.txt) Alot of the other names where probably taken from indiced indivduals irc logs etc, and it appears that alot of the people in that list are fully fledged conf whores aswell. Now, I happen to know for a fact that the majority of the names in that list are not under-investigation. Having spoken to many of the indivduals who where raided as a result of the gH hacks etc, It appears the FBI have been interegating the raided indivduals about the following people, and groups: D4RKCYDE (this group) f41th (this zine) hybrid (myself) port milworm (defunct) B4B0 (zine) LoU 9X There are many more indivduals that the FBI have been asking about, but those are the only ones I can verify 100%. According to some of the raided indivduals, the FBI have been reading f41th (to be skooled), and subseqently put us under investigation aswell. You are probably wondering why we are still producing f41th after such facts.. The fact is, D4RKCYDE as a group do not participate in any illegal activity, we just produce this k-rad zine, it's freedom of information, who cares? It also appears that 9X and B4B0 are under investigation as a result of being listed on certain hacked websites in shout lists. B4B0 is not a hacking group, neither is 9X.. like f41th they just produce articles and zines, the FBI are on a bit of a dead-end there. The recent 'hacker lists' have spawned some big ego's in certain people, for instance, 'overfien' decided he would make himself look good and subseqently a news article that was strangly focused on him appeared on net-security.org, He also had the cheek to list me as 'wanted for toll-fraud' Fortunatly the news article was obvious as disinformation and was removed from the site to the emabarsment of overfien the leet haxor. It seems the FBI are concentrating on IRC as a means of gathering information on these individuals, and are rumoured to be monitoring the following IRC channels and servers: #b4b0 (efnet) | *.lagged.org #9x (efnet) | *.ais.net #darkcyde (efnet) | *.freei.net #tk (efnet) | *.idle.net #creep (efnet) | *.arpa.com #2600 (efnet) #26OO (efnet) D4RKCYDE have now set up an underground news network run by tgb which can be found on our site (darkcyde.system7.org) We will be updating this news section very freqently so keep it bookmarked. This news has been accumulated mainly from word-of-mouth resources, so we cannot be 100% positive of it's reliability, although the sources of the informaion provided in this news artcile are very reliable, ie: straight from the horses mouth. If you have any questions or comments regarding this article, feel free to email me at hybrid@dtmf.org. Thanks for reading, enjoy the rest of the zine. - hybrid. --OooOOOO)------------------------------------------------------------[OO)--- --OoOOOOo)-[ Brief intorduction to ESS ]-( downtime )-- --OooOOOO)------------------------------------------------------------[OO)--- This file is going to give the new phreaks something to begin by. This will give a pretty good explanation of the ESS network and how it is operated. Although I make no assumptions about you, anyone should be able to understand this file so here is the inph0! Enjoy! First off, what does ESS stand for? ESS in itself, is an acronym for the words Electronic Switching System. It is a phone network that is used nowadays to try to slow down telephone phreaks but that will never happen. Within ESS switching there are basically 2 kinds of switches. The local switch and the tandem switch. The local switch, as you might have already guessed, handles local calls, whereas the tandem switch handles long distance calls. Such as calls to another area code. With the local switch it basically works like this, say you want to call your friend that lives a couple blocks away, you pick up the phone and dial his phone number. This is what is happening in the process of this. The call will go from your local switch directly to his local switch and therefore the call is connected to go through. (Sure there is alot more to it than this but I am staying basic for a specific cause.) If it happens to be a long distance call you are wanting to make then you will dial the number, it will go to your tandem switch, then connect to his tandem switch, his local switch, therefore then connecting your call. Here are two diagrams to help you understand this process: A local call in your area: Home **** Local Switch **** Local Switch **** Their House A long distance call: Home **** Local Switch **** Tandem Switch **** Tandem Switch **** Local Switch **** Their House * = Phone Line That is the very basics of the ESS connecting process. There will be more files to come on a more technical level for those who got interested in this and wanted more, so please be patient. I will write more of these over the ESS network.

HOW TO USE A LOOP well in order to use a loop u must call one 'end' and get the loud constant tone. now the opreator or a phriend must call the other 'end'. now you act like you have recived a regular phone call so say some thing like "hello" and DONT hang up the phone. you will hear an operator in the other end, idle and wait until she hangs up. aphter she hanged up u can call any number u like (not abroad) without paying shit phor it. oh iph you are not sure (about the opreator) tell a phriend to call the other 'end' and again the bill wont go to your phriend but to Bezeq. VERY IMPORTANT loops are very touchy so dont use them ophten because Bezeq will take a loop down iph it is used to many times (according to Bezeq's opinoin) so be ceraful and dont use it too much. HOW CAN I PHIND A LOOP to phind a loop u do the regualr procces oph scanning, scan for pair of numbers that are constative. like ending with "1212" or "8822", etc. there are some people around that say "loops? there is no such thing in israel" -- wrong. every phine phone company has some loops. (may be not in zimbabow :) ). an other new way to phind a loop is via Budboxing :) neat haaaa go to your nearest place that u BudBox open it u see a mass amount of wires and now the regular lines are colored in blue and white and there are 4 wires colored in red and white connect to it and dail your AIN number (auto ident number) the number that u just got is a number of a tecnician phone line nice heh ... well till next time PHREAK OUT!@@@#%@#$@#^%#$% --OooOOOO)------------------------------------------------------------[OO)--- --OoOOOOo)-[ An introduction to Smartlink(tm) 3175 APSS ]-( elaich/hhp )-- --OooOOOO)------------------------------------------------------------[OO)--- (hhp) An introduction to Smartlink(tm) 3175 APSS. (hhp) by: elaich of the hhp. ------------------------------------------------------------ This text is an introduction to the smartlink(tm) 3175 automatic protection switching system by westell technologies. Introduction: SmartLink(tm)! The Westell 3175 Automatic Protection switching system(APSS), also know as SmartLink(tm), is a fully automatic protection switching system for up to 20 DS1 circuits per shelf. If any one of the circuits become defective, the system will automatically switch the defective customer's T1/DS1 (hi-Cap) circuit to something called a "hot spare" protected circuit (T1/DS1-Hi-Cap) to provide the gimp uninterrupted service. The SmartLink(tm) system is designed for use with traditional repeatered T1, HDSL, fiber circuits, and digital radio applications. The Local Loop: The local loop is missing two things the rest of the Network has which are: 1) Redundancy, and 2) NMA Access. Which looks something like this... (dont flame my pic.)... ) )) NMA ())))) .. . / )) . . . / \ ) . . . / \ . . . CELL / . . . . SITE----><---X^X---><----CO-----//-----CO | '. | | . | |. . |. //------CO-----// ' ' ------------------------------------------------------------ Features: A fully automatic protection system that will bring reundancy and NMA accesibility to the local loop. Perfect for unmanned location. Will protect from 1 to 8 lines with a signal protection span. E2A/X.25 NMA interfaces. Switch the costomer to a "good" facility before he knows there is a problem. Constantly monitors each line for the following troubles: >Loss of T1 signal. >Error rate by calculating its own CRC. Will switch to protection in less than 10ms. Self healing: >When the problem is cleared, the switch will revert back to the original span. >Will not oscillate, 2 hour lock and 2/24 hour lock. Intelligent: >Will provide alarming. >Will report thru NMA. ------------------------------------------------------------ Configuration front view: Central office shelf: ___________________________________________________ __| |L|L|L|L|P|L|L|L|L|P|L|L|L|L|P|L|L|L|L|P|L|L|L|L| |__ |()| |I|I|I|I|CII|I|I|I|C|I|I|I|I|C|I|I|I|I|C|I|I|I|I|O|()| | | |N|N|N|N|U|N|N|N|N|U|N|N|N|N|U|N|N|N|N|U|N|N|N|N|S| | | |P|E|E|E|E| |E|E|E|E| |E|E|E|E| |E|E|E|E| |E|E|E|E| | | | |C| | | | |/| | | | |/| | | | |/| | | | |/| | | | |C| | | |U|C|C|C|C| |C|C|C|C| |C|C|C|C| |C|C|C|C| |C|C|C|C|A| | | | |A|A|A|A|E|A|A|A|A|E|A|A|A|A|E|A|A|A|A|E|A|A|A|A|R| | |()| |R|R|R|R|X|R|R|R|R|X|R|R|R|R|X|R|R|R|R|X|R|R|R|R|D|()| '--| |D|D|D|D|P|D|D|D|D|P|D|D|D|D|P|D|D|D|D|P|D|D|D|D| |--' '---------------------------------------------------' ------------------------------------------------------------ System configuration: Model/Description/CLEI-CODE: _Model_ _Description_ _CLEI-CODE_ A90-3175-01 Alarm interface card...................T1LIX001AA A90-3175-10 Test access Card.......................T1LAESEBAA A90-3175-40 Protection control Unit................T1LIYY01AA A90-3175-41 Line interface Card....................T1LI1Z01AA A90-3175-42 Line enterface card w/PRE-EQ...........T1LIZZ01AA A90-3175-43 Protection control unit w/PRE-EQ.......T1LI54B1AA A90-3175-45 Expansion Card.........................T1LI2001AA A90-31AP23 Central office shelf...................T1MSGN07MA A90-31AP404 Four position remote mounting shelf....T1MSHL07MA A90-31AP408 Eight position remote mounting shelf...T1MSHN07MA ------------------------------------------------------------ That's it for the introduction of the Smartlink(tm) 3175 APSS...

For example, if you live in Texas, your RBOC will be SouthWestern Bell. These LECs (Local Excahnge Carriers) and IXCs (Inter eXchange Carriers divide America into different call handeling sections. Here is a list of all of the RBOCs for different areas: Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs) NYNEX - Covering New York and New England, Bell Atlantic - Covering the Mid Atlantic states, Bell South - Operating in the South Eastern states, Ameritech - Covering the Midwest, U.S. West - Covers the mountain states and northwest, Pacific Telesis - Operating in California and Nevada, and Southwestern Bell - Covers Texas and southern states west of the Mississippi. The Regional Bell Companies were set up as part of the Modified Final Judgment implemented in January 1984. Recent legislation has significantly altered how these regional bell companies can do business and what communications services they provide. As a result, some companies like Bell Atlantic, Ameritech, Pacific Telesis, Bell South and NYNEX have been aggressive in pursuing new business areas. They are now able to more freely compete than ever before. This means what we identify here today is likely to be changed tomorrow. For example, a merger between Bell Atlantic Mobile and NYNEX Mobile was completed on July 1, 1995 and resulted in the formation of a new company, Bell Atlantic NYNEX Mobile. RBOC 1998 Targeted Percent of Lines Using Digital Transmission NYNEX ....................................... 97.4 Pacific Telesis ............................. 94.8 Bell Atlantic ............................... 93.3 Bell South .................................. 92.1 Ameritech ................................... 89.9 US West ..................................... 68.4 Southwestern Bell ........................... 66.6 RBOCs and Area of Coverage RBOC -- Original Local Exchange Carriers Local Access and Transport Areas (LATAs) ---------------------------------------- Local Access and Transport Areas (LATAs) were established after divestiture to permit telephone companies to charge subscribers for access to local or regional exchanges and to the interexchange toll telephone network for sending and receiving intra-LATA and interstate calls. Local Access and Transport Areas (LATAs) are geographic areas generally smaller than a state that follow telephone boundaries (not state boundaries). They identify define areas within which the telephone companies offer exchange and exchange access services (local calling, private lines, etc.) to subscribers. Local Exchange Carriers (LECs) ------------------------------ Telephone subscribers are provided basic telephone network access by physical connection from customer premises to a local central office. This connection is a dialed up connection or a dedicated trunk connection, like a leased T1 (1.544 Mbps) channel. For dial-up connections, after the phone is dialed, the subscriber accesses a variety of telephone services and call handling features provided by the Local Exchange Carrier (LEC). These telephone services and functions were for connections in the LEC's Local Access and Transport Area. For dedicated trunk lines the local segment set up and maintained by LECs at each end, while the inter-LATA portion of the circuit is established and maintained by an Inter-eXchange Carrier (IXC). LECs were set up as part of the 1984 Divestiture decision. However, the separate company designations are fading today. Recently, Bell Atlantic renamed its LECs to just Bell Atlantic. The Inter-eXchange Carriers (IXCs) ---------------------------------- Calls to locations outside the LATA require the LEC to pass the call to a designated Inter-eXchange Carrier's (IXC) point of presence (POP). The IXC transports the call to a LEC at the destination LATA. Basically Inter- eXchange Carriers transport calls from LATA to LATA. Since the breakup of AT&T in 1984, Inter-eXchange Carriers have been required to interface with local telephone companies via points of presence. These are serving offices set up in each LATA. The POP is the point to which the local telephone company connects its customers for long distance dial-up and leased-line communications between LATAs. Inter-eXchange Carriers are AT&T, MCI, Sprint, and others. Telephone Network Segments Competitive Access Providers (CAPs)and Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLECs) ------- Competitive Access Providers (CAPs) provide fiber optic and microwave communications links that connect to Inter-eXchange Carriers (IXCs). These links compete with Local Exchange Carriers' (LECs') networks in the top 25 metropolitan areas nationwide as well as in many smaller metropolitan areas. Many metropolitan networks were formed during cable television's years of prosperity. Now CAPs compete with CATV service providers. Recent FCC rulings help CAPs quickly become viable competitors to LECs. If a CAP is providing local dial tone then it is often labeled a Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (CLEC). Metropolitan networks first appeared with the spread of cable television. Although, these networks were limited television signal distribution from satellite downlinks to residential communities, the early cable systems became the prototypes of Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs). In the early 1980s satellite uplink operators built teleports and local access networks to offer direct private satellite transmission services to large organizations. While 1984 breakup of AT&T increased competition in the long distance and communications markets, it left the local connectivity market monopoly essentially intact. However, entrepreneurs began to offer long distance service using teleport satellite circuits combined with private local access networks to their customers premises. Cable television companies also deployed fiber for high-traffic routes and explored using fiber for connections to subscriber premises. The spread of such metropolitan local access networks eroded the LEC monopoly over local loop connectivity to subscribers. Further, CAPs demanded access to LECs' operations centers and central offices (COs). CAPs exerted extensive pressure on the FCC to achieve these goals. LECs strongly resisted this encroachment on their business base. Today LECs are forced to allow CAPs to co-locate with their physical facilities. This is expanding to allow CAPs to directly connect with LEC central offices in some areas providing alternative access to the LECs' local switch. Competitive Access Providers (CAPs) have more than 27 individual networks supporting users with heavy data traffic. These CAP networks offer customers up to 100 Mbps transmission speed and redundant routing for point-to-point transmission at lower prices. Further, CAPs generally have more fiber optic transmission experience and deliver higher quality transmission facilities and circuits than do the LECs. Other Common Carriers --------------------- Other Common Carriers (OCC) are Specialized Common Carriers (SCCs) offering unique communications services, domestic and international record carriers supporting international communications, and domestic satellite carriers providing satellite communications services authorized by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). MCI, Sprint, and other carriers are sometimes referred to as Other CommonCarriers. Services Piggybacked on Private Networks ---------------------------------------- A private network is a network built and operated by a private organization or corporation for their specific benefit. Often the private network facilities have excess capacity. The private network organization in an effort to reduce its costs permits other organizations to use the excess capacity of private network facilities. Special multiplexers typically connect one or more voice, data, fax, or video channels to shared common channels leading to the private network backbone. This multiplexer equipment differs in price, support, and features offered. A feature is voice compression technique which determines the number simultaneous voice calls supported and the voice quality of each call. In selecting such multiplexers look beyond claims of impressively high capacity for simultaneous voice calls. Telephone Network with Competitive Access Providers --------------------------------------------------- Common Carrier Services Common carriers are organizations providing regulated telephone, telegraph, telex, and data communications services. Voice Grade Channels and Circuits Voice grade channels and circuits are designed to carry voice frequencies in the audio frequency speech transmission range of 300 to 3,400 Hz. Voice grade channels provide a bandwidth of about 3 KHz. This effectively limits the amount of information they can carry. Voice grade channels can be dial-up lines or leased lines. Dial-up lines use two wires (a single pass windows) while leased lines are four (4) wire service. A leased line is sometimes referred to as a private line or a dedicated line. The 500, 700, 800, and 900 Number Services ------------------------------------------ There are several services available to businesses beyond basic dial-up services. The services described here 700, 800, and 900 services have been used differently by businesses during their relatively short lifetimes. Basically these services use voice grade channels but bill for them at special rates. 500 and 700 Services A single number telephone service for mobile individuals is provided using the 500 and 700 numbers. Telephone service providers offer nationwide "follow-me" phone numbers for mobile customers. The service uses both the 700 and a newly activated 500 access code. Unlike geographic area codes such as 415, 213 or 916, the 500 and 700 codes cover the entire country like the 800 and 888 area codes. A 500 or 700 number service lets customers be reached at any location and on any equipment. Instead of different numbers for business, cellular, fax and home phones, now one number can be called to reach you on any type phone, anywhere in the country. The 10-digit 500 and 700 service numbers (500-XXX-XXXX, 700-XXX-XXXX) represent an individual customer. 800 Service The 800 services are among the most famous carrier service. The 800 service and WATS services were introduced by AT&T in the '60s. WATS charges bulk rates for directly dialed station-to-station calls over the public switched telephone network. WATS provides switched, voice-grade channels for transmission of either voice or data. The 800 service provided today is a toll-free, inbound service for callers dialing an 800 number. Today because of the high use of 800 numbers, AT&T advertises both 888 and 800 numbers for 800 number services. An 800 number may be local, regional, national, or international in coverage and it can be assigned to any local access phone line 900 Service pr0n The 900 service charges the callers not the number being called. Today's 900 service applications make revenue. Callers dial a 900 number and select information that is sent immediately to their fax. TV surveys are routinely performed via 900 services. Technical support lines for PC products use 900 services rather than toll-free or local exchange numbers combined with credit card accounts. Dial-Up Telephone Services -------------------------- North American Numbering Plan (NANP) The North American Numbering Plan (NANP) was originally designed by AT&T back in 1947. It is the system for assigning area codes, telephone numbers, and other important network codes throughout the U.S. and 17 other countries. The system covers the World Zone 1 calling area including the United States, Canada, Bermuda, and most of the Caribbean. After divestiture in 1984, Bellcore (Bell Communications Research) took over NANP administration, and not so surprisingly controversy over a conflict of interest began. The argument is that basically Bellcore, owned by the Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs), favors both the RBOCs and AT&T with special numbering assignments. This controversy heightened with the exhaustion of area codes. All area codes were designated as having a 0 or a 1 as their middle number. Today because of the proliferation of cellular phones and additional home phone lines for fax and data communications, several metropolitan areas have had to use additional area codes. Washington, D.C. now has 703, 301 and the newer 410 area codes. As a result the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) intervened in October of 1992. The involvement of the FCC caused Bellcore to withdraw as administrator of the NANP in August of 1993. Bellcore agreed to remain on as plan administrator for 12 to 18 months permitting the FCC to select a new administrator. Today Bellcore is still the administrator of the NANP. Area Code Exhaustion -------------------- The phenomenal growth of telecommunications over the last 20 years is reason for the current area code shortage. High growth areas include: 1.) Cellular phones, 2.) Fax machines, 3.) Portable beepers, 4.) Multiple number services, 5.) Direct Inward Dialing DID numbers, 6.) Pay-per-view applications, and 7.) Special ringing features. These and many other applications consume large blocks of seven-digit numbers. Consequently, there are not enough seven-digit numbers to keep up with the demand. Current NAPA Numbering ---------------------- NAPA geographic area codes are three-digit numbers formatted N(0 or1)X with N any digit 2 through 9, then either 0 or 1, and X any digit 0 through 9. The area code is followed by a seven-digit subscriber number. The subscriber number previously a NNX-XXXX format is now a NXX-XXXX allowing the use of 0 or 1 as the second digit. The N(0 or 1)X format has a maximum of 8 2 10 or 160 combinations. As the demand for area codes in North America grew, Bellcore proposed an integrated numbering plan for World Zone 1, essentially North American and the Caribbean. The new plan went into effect in January 1995 and changed the numbering system from an N(0 or 1)X-NXX-XXXX format to an NXX-NXX-XXXX format. This change increased the quantity of available ten digit phone numbers from about 1 billion to 6 billion.

Welcome to my file on TELEBOT Services. This text is basically a rewritten copy of their page just worded a little different into how I understand it. I am in no way stealing their information, I did this for the fact that alot of people read F41th zine, so therefore they would see this information as well. I wanted to say this before anyone says, "You're lame for stealing information." Sorry that isn't my intent, however, my intent is to spread information so here it is. Enjoy! ______oOo_______ What is TELEBOT? ---------------- TELEBOT is a free service which enables people to send you voice messages. The way it is setup is you go and sign up for an account (www.telebot.com), then you dial the 8oo number (1.8oo.TELEBOT) and it will ask you for the person's extension you are trying to reach. Enter the Extension of the person you wish to message, record the message, and send it. This will email the person as well. How it does this is that when you send your message it will convert your voice into a .wav file therefore sending it to the owner's email account, where he can list to it. Now, that should give you a pretty good idea about what TELEBOT is. :) ______oOo_______ TELEBOT Services ---------------- Free Voicemail: As stated earlier you record your message and it converts it into a .wav file and emails it to them. Some may say it isn't as good as regular voicemail but at least it still gets the point across, and hey, it's free! :) You also have the option to record your very own personal greeting. Free Fax: With this option every Fax sent it sent to someone's email account converted as a .tif file extension for that person's personal viewing pleasures. The number to call to send a Fax message is 4o8.293.2266 You can recieve up to 25 pages per day. Free SendFAX: This is the way they can fax you using the online website to any fax machine in the United States for free! Free E-mail: 1o MB storage. 6o messages per hour. POP3 mailbox account. Free Notify: You have the ability to get all incoming pages sent to you PCS or GSM phone and/or pager. Free PhoneMail: Just as a regular VMB system you can listen to your messages over a regular phone handset. ______oOo_______ More Information ---------------- The TELEBOT system will not relay any personal information to anyone except to the Law for any investigational reasons but that is about the only way someone will get any personal information on any of the subscribers. They are 100% strict against spamming so if you do this you might as well not even sign up for an account because it won't last long at all if you do. If system abuse occurs you could recieve a bill in the mail. They classify cracking people's access code for takeover as system abuse, any form or relaying messages, they are also against chain letters (but who isn't!), trying to harass is considered system abuse. They do not claim responsiblity for the messages sent over their network, neither do they give any guarantees.

In a central office, DSX frames and DDFs (Digital Distribution Frames) are the most prevalent means for manually managing the digital distribution network. The use of electronic DCSs (Digital Cross-connect Systems), such as Lucent Technologies' DACS III- 2000 and DACS IV-2000, accommodates many of the digital terminations in many of the larger central offices. Though the DCS re-arranges the circuits electronically, it is more important than ever to engineer the digital distribution network with high-performance cables and manual connectivity products, which support the migration and maintenance of the DCS in the network and enhance system flexibility and reliability. Digital distribution networks must become increasingly more flexible and reliable in order to effectively handle the new digital services being offered to the network end-users. There are a number of important trends occurring within the digital distribution network that should be examined and planned for when considering the deployment of the new digital services being offered today. TRENDS - SOLUTIONS - APPLICATIONS * The deployment of SONET/SDH terminals in the network is displacing the embedded asynchronous terminals. However, the migration of SONET/SDH will not take place overnight and will require that the asynchronous and synchronous networks be superimposed on each other. For the central office to support new SONET/SDH services, the digital distribution network must have the functional capability and the capacity to support both networks simultaneously. The need for physical circuit rearrangements will facilitate these changes. * The rapid deployment of DCS's in many medium and large sized offices has slowed the growth of DSX/DDF terminations that has been experienced over the last ten years. The planning and engineering associated with the deployment of DCS's within the digital network must be carefully reviewed to avoid cable congestion and to allow for adequate growth of future digital ter minations. * The DCS equipment can electronically perform the testing and provisioning functions typically handled at the DSX/DDF. However, in many offices, the DSX/DDF still plays an important role for provisioning and testing of circuits. * Back-to-back, stand-alone multiplexers, used to convert DS1, CEPT-1, DS3 and CEPT-3 signals are now being replaced by the DCS, which integrates the same multiplexing and demultiplexing capabilities. The installation of a DCS will eliminate much of the intermediate cabling and connections associated with the back-to-back multiplexing equipment. * Initial installations of the vintage, back-to-back multiplexers was the primary factor contributing to the growth of DSX/DDF frames. New DCS equipment must connect to the same equipment as the displaced multiplexers and requires access to the circuit terminations located on the DSX/DDF frames. Tie-links are required between the new DCS and existing DSX/DDF, therefore, causing the DSX/ DDF to grow. * Growth in DCS terminations, in addition to the higher density connections associated with the DCS, generates new requirements for cabling, e.g., smaller size, higher capacity, longer runs, etc. Recent developments of new cables and interconnection frames have resulted in smaller cables, minimizing cabling congestion and improving electrical performance, as well as DIXIs - Digital Interconnect/cross-connect Interface) to enhance the interconnect functionality of the DCS. * New interface products like the DIXIs allow the DCS to transition to interconnect bays designed to handle larger numbers of cable interconnections. In addition to reducing cable congestion, the DIXIs provide standardized connec tor interfaces that improve the access of the DCS to the office's electronics cabling and provide "meet me" points in offices that are shared with other carriers. Not only is it easier to transition the digital terminal installations, it is also simpler to engineer and install the DCS (whether the DCS is going in new or being upgraded). * The migration of the digital network from manually switched to electronically switched circuit environment of the DCS will not be a short-term transition. The growth of DCS often causes cable congestion in the area of the transmission equipment. The effective implementation of a DCS network depends on the condition of the digital networks cabling infrastructure and its ability to support new digital circuit growth. During the period of time when new fiber terminals and digital loop carrier equipment is being installed, the DSX/DDF frame will experience growth and will maintain a prominent role in the CO cabling infrastructure. * Traffic volume and density are increasing. Communications are an increasingly important competitive tool for subscribers. Subscribers also have choices for carriers. Therefore, system reliability and flexibility must improve. The use of manual interfaces enhances reliability and flexibility by offering an inexpensive, near-fail-safe means to test and re-route traffic in the event of a failure of the electronic interfaces. For example, route diversity and redundancy can be inexpensively implemented with manual interfaces. The DSX/DDF provides the DCS with easy access to the existing digital circuits within the office. Further DSX/DDF digital circuit additions can be terminated on the DSX/DDF or placed on DIXIs to accommodate the DCS terminations. As mentioned above, DIXIs make it easier to transition and maintain the DCS (new or upgrade), and will also relieve the strain placed on the DSX/DDF frames by having to support both the new and old equipment during this equipment migration effort. Although it may appear that the DSX/DDF functionality could eventually be eliminated as offices start to approach an all-fiber environment, the majority of cabling for switching and transmission electronics within the office is copper. The desire by many telco operations organizations to have both manually (for reliability and re-routing) and electronically (for speed and convenience) accessible digital circuits will maintain the coexistence of the DCS and DSX/DDF for many years. --OooOOOO)------------------------------------------------------------[OO)--- --OoOOOOo)-[ Digital Interconnect/Cross-Connect Interface ]-( phonewarez )-- --OooOOOO)------------------------------------------------------------[OO)--- System - DIXI-1 Description Lucent Technologies has developed the DIXI-1 (Digital Interconnect and Cross- Connect-1) System to address the need for interconnecting or cross-connecting digital circuits* in the Central Office while providing test access. With the ever increasing deployment of Digital Cross-connect Systems (DCS's) in the Central Offices a demand arose for a more sophisticated, feature packed Interconnect Bay that provides the means to smoothly transition the Central Offices into "Offices of the Future". *Supported Digital Signal Formats Format Rate DS-1 CEPT-1 DS-1C 1.544 Mb/s 2.048 Mb/s 3.152 Mb/s The DIXI-1 block and test cords provide patching and test access to both directions of transmission. By taking advantage of some new test cords (e.g. the Blue, Orange, Blue to Blue, Drop and Insert, and Tie-Circuit Monitoring Cords) only the IN and OUT jacks appear on the front of the block with wire wrap pins located below for either equipment cabling or cross-connect jumpers. The rear of the block has wire wrap pins for equipment cabling. Unlike a DSX-1, there is no monitor jack, tracing lamp, nor the lamp wire wrap pin. This allows for less expensive and more compact design. We have reduced the height of the block and lowered the modularity to four circuits to better match the DS1 increments in the ANSI Digital Hierarchy, the VT1.5 increments in the SONET/SDH Hierarchy, and the CEPT-1 increments in the CCITT Hierarchy. The DIXI-1 block is a very versatile and economical way to terminate, interconnect, and/or cross-connect your wideband services in the Central Office, Controlled Environmental Vaults, Cabinets, Huts, and even customerpremises. Use: Manual patch panel of DS-1/1C or CEPT-1 circuits, stand-alone or in conjunction with DCSs. Features * Patching capability for DCS bypass * Interconnect or cross-connect configurations using same modules * Bi-directional monitoring from one jack location (Orange Cord). * High-density - up to 2016 terminations per bay (interconnect) or 1008 terminations per bay (cross-connect) * Uses Lucent Technologies "SMART" patch and test cords * Compatible with existing DSX-1 systems * Compatible with shielded 120 ohm systems for non-U.S. Markets. Benefits * Facilitates rollovers * Enhances network reliability * Faster, surer testing * Minimizes craft requirements * Space efficient * Minimizes hardware requirements Interconnect Application The standard DIXI-1 Interconnect Panel can be used as an enhanced DSAB-1 with all the benefits of the DSAB-1 but with the added feature of patching jacks for improved testing, cutover, and service restoration capabilities. The DIXI-1 Interconnect Panel houses 21 4-circuit blocks for a total of 84 circuits. The panel mounts on the front face of a standard 23" (584.2 mm) Network Bay Frame and stands off approximately 2" (51 mm) from the upright because the panel is 24.89" (632.5 mm) wide. The height of the panel is 6" (150 mm) and consists of a 4" (102 mm) panel and a 2" (51 mm) transition trough. The recommended depth of the interconnect Bay with hardware is 1' -3" (381 mm). Up to 12 DIXI-1 Interconnect panel assemblies and all the necessary frame hardware will mount in a 7' (213.4 cm) Network Bay Frame for a total of 2016 terminations (1008 DACS IV-2000 terminations and 1008 Network Element terminations) per bay. Since there are no cross-connects in this arrangement there is no set limit as to lineup length (except NEBS standards) or no physical reason for the bays to be mounted next to each other (side-by-side). However, in order to implement any type of patching (service restoration) or testing, it is recommended that the DIXI-1 Interconnect bays be mounted side-by-side without spacers between the bays. A 23-bay lineup (less than 50 feet long [15.2 m]) would contain a total of 46,368 terminations (or 23,184 Network Elements). A DIXI-1 Interconnect Complex will probably never grow beyond the maximum 23 bay lineup. However, if space restrictions in an office preclude the use of a signal lineup, two parallel lineups could be installed. This configuration would allow the craft to perform all of the patching and testing in a defined contiguous area with standard DIXI-1 patch and test cords. Two parallel 23 bay lineups could be installed for a maximum of 92,736 terminations (46,368 Network Elements). Co-location Application The DIXI-1 Panel is an excellent product to satisfy the co-location needs of the Local Exchange Carriers (LEC's) and the Competitive Access Providers (CAP's). Using the DIXI-1 Panel as an interconnect in the Point of Termination (POT) Bay has the advantages of density (168 terminations per panel - 84 LEC terminations and 84 CAP terminations), size (6" [150 mm] of vertical bay space), features (full test access, patching, and sectionalization capabilities), and price (competitively priced). Cross-connect Application The DIXI-1 System can be used as an inexpensive DSX-1. The DIXI-1 block provides all of the testing and patching features of a full blown DSX-1 block or panel with the exception of jumper tracing capabilities (there are no LED's or lamp leads on the block). This requirement has been eliminated due to the added functionality of the "Smart" patch and test cords, which allows for almost all operations work to be performed from one end of the circuit. The DIXI-1 Cross-connect panel houses twenty-one, 4-circuit blocks for a total of 84 terminations. The panel mounts on the front face of a standard 23" (584 mm) Network Bay Frame and stands off approximately 2" (51 mm) from the upright because the panel is 24.89" (632.5 mm) wide. The total height of the panel is 5" (127mm) and has a jumper trough for cross-connects. The recommended depth of the cross connect bay is 1' - 6" (457.2 mm). A total of 12 DIXI-1 Cross-connect panels mount in a 7' (213 cm) Network Bay Frame along with upper and lower express troughs and 12 sets of vertical troughs with labels. ED6C157-31 provides the ordering information for this hardware. Removable labels are located on the front of the panel horizontal jumper trough. Adjacent DIXI-1 Cross-connect Bays are separated by 5" (127 mm) to provide space for the vertical jumper troughs. This arrangement will allow a maximum of 19 bays per lineup. The layout will yield a maximum of 1008 terminations per bay and 19,152 terminations per lineup. The maximum sized complex is limited to two lineups that will utilize cross-aisle bridges (for jumpers) to minimize tie circuit use while maximizing termination density (approximately 38,000 terminations per complex). Another cross-connect application of the DIXI-1 is for outside plant cabinets. This layout utilizes two DIXI-1 panels (without troughs) and a jumper ring panel. The top panel has 21 DIXI-1 blocks mounted in the standard manner while the bottom panel has the blocks mounted upside down. A two inch (50.8 mm) high jumper ring panel is mounted between the two DIXI-1 panels. Running jumpers between these two panels is very simple and drastically reduces jumper pileup. This 168 termination arrangement takes 10 inches (254 mm) of vertical mounting space. The DIXI-1 shielded cable can be mounted in a standard 23" (584 mm) network bay frame or in the ETS1 cabinet which is popular in Europe. The network bay frame panel accommodates 80 CEPT-1 circuits and allows for fully shielded cross-connects to be terminated and run in the panel. The ETS1 cabinet panel accommodates 64 CEPT-1 circuits. These panels utilize Lucent Technologies' P7 shielded wire for the cross-connect.
