- P H I N E T: FEDTAX DATABASE

-
- PHINet is a mainframe located in New York, accessable through Tymnet. It
- is a database and document search-and-retrieval system designed for tax
- research. If the system seems a bit boring to the hacker, then I should point
- out the following information concerning costs: PHINet's connect-time prices are
- based upon the accumulated hours of use per month. See chart below.
-
- Hours/month Peak hourly rate Off-peak hourly rate
- =========== ================ ====================
- 1-5 $85.00 $76.50
- 5-20 80.00 72.00
- 20-50 70.00 63.00
- 50+ 60.00 54.00
-
- As you can see, if what the system can offer helps you, Then it is well
- worth it to hack an account. PHINet is one of those services which you could
- really use from time to time, but would never dare pay the high fees
- for.
-
- To enable you to access PHINet, you must gain an account. I will not go
- through the steps of gaining an account on a system simply because the
- steps are obvious and hopefully well-known to those reading this phile.
- To start you off, however, I will just say that it would be wise to
- locate a person/buisness probable to use PHINet, and work a little
- social engineering charm. Combined with trashing the person/buisness,
- you will surely have an account in no time. The user ID is eight
- characters long, and the password is four characters long.
-
- LOGGING ON TO PHINET
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
- The first thing you need to do is get your nearest Tyment dialup.
- Connect to Tyment, and at the login prompt, type "ph". The
- message "PRENTICE-HALL ENTER USERID;PASSOWRD:call connected" will
- appear. When you get this, enter the userid number and password,
- separated by a semicolon. i.e.- p000-000;wxyz. If you login sucessfully,
- the News Menu will appear.
-
- GETTING AROUND
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
- PHINet is a very user-friendly system, therefore I won't have to go
- into the details of many PHINet commands. The News Menu lists all of the
- menu-driven databases, and an example of it is shown below:
-
- PHINet NEWS MENU
- 1 DAY1--Daily Tax Update
- 2 WEEK--Compilation of previous 5 Daily Updates
- 3 XPRT--Experts' Briefings
- 4 HELP--User Assistance and Customer Support
- 5 RATE--Applicable Federal Interest Rates
-
- Choose a database by selecting the respectful number. You will receive
- another menu, with complete instructions on the contents and usage. The
- following is information on all databases in the News Menu:
-
- DAY1: This database contains information concerning tax news from the
- previous day.
-
- WEEK: This database contains the previous *five* daily updates.
-
- XPRT: This database contains briefings written by tax experts. Everyday
- a new article is featured.
-
- HELP: This database contains a large amount of information on PHINet and
- its search-and-retrieval system. This is a good area to enter because of
- the command lists you can capture. They become *very* useful.
-
- Databases in the News Menu are not searchable. The Main Menu lists
- all of the searchable databases. An example of the Main Menu is shown
- below:
-
- MENU PHINet main menu
- FED1 Federal income tax without the index
- FED2 federal income tax with the index
- INDX Keyword index for federal income taxes
- CASE Tax cases 1954+
- PLRS Private letter rulings 1977+
- RULE Revenue rulings and procedures 1954+
- FULL CASE + PLRS + RULE
- TOTL FED1 + FULL (Global federal income tax search)
- ESGT Federal estate and gift taxes
- EXCT Federak excise taxes
- FDEG FED1 + ESGT
- CITE Citator 2nd series, cases and rulings 1954+
- TXSP Tax simplification proposals
- IRML Internal revenue manual
- PUBS Internal revenue service publications
- SHEL Tax shelters
-
- ENTER DATABASE NAME:
-
- I think from this point on you it will be pretty easy for you to find your
- way around because of its simple database form, along with its extreme user
- friendliness. Part Two of this phile will continue to explore the depths
- of PHINet, and possibly any letters sent to me concerning PHINet.
- Happy exploring...
