- This file is for folks who want to get started using outdials. I tried to
- explain everything in detail, assuming no prior knowledge. Have phun.
- I have used a lot of information obtained from other g-files in putting
- together this file. So, let me give credit where it is due:
-
- Info on Pac*It came from Doc Savage - many thanks
- Telenet modem addresses courtesy of Sam Brown
- Other stuff I got from The Mentor
-
- Of course, there is plenty of stuff that I don't know where it came
- from. Oh well, thanks to whoever I got other info from. Special thanks
- to Dart Catcher who created and runs my favorite local board (the only
- cool board in the whole damn state): The Dartboard - call it!
-
-
- Allright, here goes:
-
- Introduction: Outdials
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Outdials are extremely useful things which can be used to call long
- distance without paying and without using codes. Essentially, an
- outdial is a modem which is connected to a network. You call up the
- network, then connect to the outdial over the network, then use the modem
- to call whatever system (BBS) you want to connect to. Sounds
- complicated, but it really isn't.
-
- You will be using modems which are connected to the Telenet network. There
- are outdials connected to Telenet in every area code. So, you can call
- just about anywhere you want. The problem is that generally, these outdials
- don't take collect connections over Telenet. So, we have to use a way of
- getting around that. That way is called PAC*IT. PAC*IT is a service
- which is connected to Telenet.
-
-
- Part I - Connecting to the Network
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Ok, first you need to connect to the network. The way to connect
- to Telenet in order to use these outdials is through Pac*it, which is
- some sort of gay PC pursuit deal. Anyway, call Pac*it: 1-800-234-2796
- at 2400/1200 7E1. After connecting, log on:
-
- 1200 baud: just hit <cr> a couple of times
- 2400 baud: send an @ (shift-2) then a <cr>
-
- It will now say
-
- PAC*IT Plus
-
- XXXXXXXXXXX111
-
- The X's don't matter, what matters is the last three digits. You can only
- connect to U.S. modems if this number is between 100 and 300. If the
- three umbers on the end aren't between 100 and 300 then hang up and call
- back. Eventually, you will get one that is OK.
-
- Under the numbers it will say: 'TERMINAL =' just hit return here.
- You will now see the well known '@' prompt. This means you are
- connected to Telenet.
-
- Part II - Connecting to the Outdial
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Now, you need to know a bit about the way
- systems on Telenet are addressed. To connect to a system (i.e. outdial)
- at the '@' prompt, you type the address of the system you want and hit
- return. You must use the Telenet International Address Format to
- connect to outdials if you called in through PAC*IT. It looks like
- this:
-
- |------------------------ Data Network Ident. Code (DNIC)
- |
- | |----------------- Area code
- | |
- | | |----------- DTE address (the specific system in the
- /\ | / \ area code)
- / \ / \ / \ /\----- Port Address
- IIII AAA NNNNN PP
-
- For example the Telenet address of 201 346 becomes 31102010034600
-
-
- So, connect to the outdial in the area code you want by typing in the complete
- address of the outdial. I know, you are saying to yourself "Where the
- hell do I get addresses of outdials?" Well, at the end of this g-file,
- of course.
-
- After you have entered the address, you will get a 'CONNECTED' or else
- some error message. If you get an error, try again, or try another
- outdial.
-
- Part III - Using the Outdial
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- After you connect, hit ctrl-E a few times, then hit return. After a few
- seconds you should get a message like '*Hello, I'm Ready*' You are now
- connected to a modem! Help is available, just enter a ? or H. The
- command you are most concerned with is D (dial command). So, enter D
- and it should ask you for the number. Just type in the phone number
- you want to dial (no area code). It should then say "Dialing..." If
- you connect, great, you should know what to do now. If the number is
- busy, or out-of-order or whatever, the outdial will return to command
- mode. You can then dial again.
-
- You can generally disconnect from the outdial itself by entering an '@'
- then hitting return in the command mode. You should then get the '@'
- prompt back. Now you can connect to another outdial in a different area
- code if you want to. Just follow the procedure in Part II again.

- Part V - Finishing Up
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- As best I can tell, this is a very safe method if you don't abuse it,
- over use it, etc. Remember, this is a 1-800 number, so if you call it
- 200 times in a week or 30 times in a day, you may get a call yourself.
- So, to keep this method alive for everyone to use, don't do this too
- much.
-
- I hope this file has been helpful to you. There are plenty of people
- who know a lot more about this stuff that I do. But, I will definitely
- try to help anyone out if I can. I can be reached most easily at:
