-
- This file is just for some random interesting news which has gathered
- over the pasy year (yes, it's been that long). Some of this is from
- 2600, some from word of mouth, some personal, etc..
-
-
-
-
- ---* 800.433.3210: This service allows you to have a "House of Windsor"
- catalog sent to anyone you choose. Just enter their phone number and
- off it goes. Oh, did I mention the computer tells you the address
- of the phone number you entered? There are gaps in the database but
- unlisted numbers don't appear to be treated any differently than listed
- ones.
-
-
- ---* phuc hq has moved from N. Chelmsford, Ma to Boston, and thus a new
- number: 617.424.6645.
-
-
- ---* When I first moved to Boston, I noticed that in Boston only, for
- some reason, to box a local call I could no longer dial a ld equal
- access code 10### + number. CJammer mentioned to me that the 411
- information service that dials the number for you can be used. If
- anyone knows why 10### + number doesn't work in town anymore, please
- tell us!
-
-
- ---* MEL: 800.GO.TO.SWB - Even though we are not in Southwestern Bell's
- service are, this might be of interest as it's a toll-free call.
- Mechanised Employee Locator, MEL for short, provides name, phone,
- address, department and title information for all Southwestern Bell
- employees. MEL offers a call completion function that will
- automatically dial any number in the database. MEL also offers
- reverse-serch capability, meaning you give the phone number, you
- get the name, address, etc..
- To use MEL it's rather simple. Call and follow the instructions.
- The "company functions" service, which is activated by pressing #
- at the main menu is fun. It lets you seacrh by keyword for all sorts
- interesting numbers that it will dial for you.
-
-
- ---* Call Return: Don't want people to be able to use the call return
- feature to call you back? Pay the $1.50 a month for the call
- forwarding service, and program a number to forward your calls to
- whenever you scan, etc. No, I don't believe the per call blocking
- works for this purpose. If anyone has an absolutely cost-free, or
- one time cost solution, please tell us!
-
-
- ---* For those of you that need inet accounts (me! me!), here's an idea.
- Most average to large sized schools have PC labs where students can
- go to access their shell/VAX accounts. I've noticed, at least for
- five schools (BU, BC, NU, UML, UMAmherst) that to use the PC's in the
- labs, no i.d. is required - anyone can use them. Sometimes you need
- to sign a sheet. Anyway, just go and put a keystroke recording TSR
- on a couple of the pc's and come back in a day or two. Most likely
- you'll have a few accounts, and you can *irc* all day you loser! :)
-
-
- ---* IDEA (idea.uml.edu) is a good place to start to go about getting
- a legit and stable inet account. 617.727.5950. Log on as guest.
- IDEA is for teachers, etc. only, so when you email the operator for
- an account, you'll need to sound pretty ligit. I have two accounts
- there. Just give a real teacher's name and the real # for the
- school.
-
-
- ---* In case anyone doesn't know, 10000 is also at at&t access code.
- On some payphones, using this will actually get you a free call,
- as it doesn't look like a code and the telco forgets to block it.
-
-
- ---* info.bellcore.com : telnet there. Login: cat10, no password.
-
-
- ---* If you have a scanner, listeninsg to cordless phone calls can be
- fun, and rather informative sometimes. Here's a list of most
- brands' frequency's (excluding 900MHz):
-
- BASE HANDSET
-
- 46.61O 49.670
- 46.63O 49.845
- 46.670 49.860
- 46.710 49.770
- 46.730 49.875
- 46.770 49.830
- 46.830 49.890
- 46.870 49.930
- 46.930 49.990
- 46.970 46.970
-
- Use the base, as both sides of the conversation come in better.
