-
- BASIC NETWORKING
-
- Well, many people have asked me "how do i use Telenet".."how do i use an
- outdial". Well i have decided to write a very basic file on telenet and how to
- get around on the networks.
-
- Well Telenet and others are PSN's or (Packet Switching Networks) these
- nets are connected to many other networks around the world. You can do alot
- with just basic knowledge that i have (most of you will know this and way
- beyond what i know but some will benefit from it) i will start with some of
- the terms that are often used with these services.
-
- Access Number- The direct number that you dial to access a network (duh).
-
- Nua (Network Users Address) - An Nua is basicly a number you type in to access
- that particular service think of an Nua as a phone number sorta its not an
- actually phone number with an Acn country code or whatever because the service
- is connected to the network world wide. I hope that was fairly clear let me
- show this think of the planet earth as an network and to reach the services
- on the planet you call the phone number like the service is a persons
- residence or business phone or payphone whatever just like on a network an Nua
- is the Address to a system or outdial whatever on the particular network. I
- hope this is clear or atleast somewhat understood.
-
- Nui (Network User Identification) - An Nui is like a Account and Password to
- the network like an account and password is to a bbs that lets you access the
- system. Some people use Nui for like anything like an Vax system Unix systems
- they are referring to an Nui as basicly a account on the particular system
- that lets you use the system.
-
- DNIC (Data Network Identification Code) - The DNIC is like a 4 digit code that
- represents what Psn it is think of an DNIC like an AreaCode and the Nua the
- individual phone number.
-
- Outdial - Is basicly what it says an modem port connected somewhere on the
- network that will allow you to dial out from and connect data only to a
- actually phone number not an Nua.
-
- Pad (Packet Assemble Disassembler) - an x.25 pad is very useful an pad using
- x.25. protocal transmits at 9600 bps to an Nua. This may sound funny but i
- call them "Launch Pads" heh like with an x.25 you can usally access any Nua on
- the planet by usally typing the Dnic+Nua.
-
-
-
- Now i will explain various things and give helpful ideas.
-
-
-
- Let me start off with some helpful things for you to try and do.
-
- TeleNet
-
-
- The first thing your going to have to have is your Access number it is
- very easy to get your local access number. Simply call telenet at 1-800-
- TELENET that is thier customer service number and ask for your dialup the
- operator will ask for your area code and prefix of your phone number he/she
- will also ask your baud rate. There are many telenet ports across the country
- and internationly with varying baud rates from 110 bps (yuck) to 9600 (i wish
- i had) so you will want your maximum baud port most locations have atleast
- 1200 many have 2400 and not alot have 9600 ports like for big cities like
- Detroit and Los Angeles at the end of the file i will list some useful
- numbers. Some things to do while online with Telenet and Tymnet. While at the
- @ on the Telenet system type "mail" or "C mail" or "telemail" or even "c
- telemail" this access's telenets mail system simple entitled "Telemail" from
- there it will ask "user name" or something like that type "phones" next it
- will prompt you "password" enter "phones". The phones service has alot of
- worthy information it will give you a menu to choose from the rest should be
- self explanatory. Along with the other information on the phones service
- there is a complete updated list of all Telenet access numbers which is
- conveinent. Once you have tried the phones service also on telemail enter
- "Intl/Associates" as the user name and "Intl" for the international access
- numbers. If you are calling from overseas somewhere connect with an telenet
- access number then type this Nua at the telenet @ prompt "311020200142" and
- enter the username and password. You might want to pick up a sort of a
- reference booklet on Telenet simply again call the customer service number and
- ask them for "How to use Telenet's Asychronus Dial Service" and give them your
- address which is self explanatory. Another tidbit of info you would like to
- know if you already didnt know that Telenet is owned by Us Sprint long
- distance service.
-
-
-
-
- Tymnet
-
- The same goes for Tymnet service you will first need an Access Number.
- Simply call Tymnet customer service at 1-800-872-7654 and ask them. Again you
- might like to get Tymnets reference booklet on how to use there system simply
- again ask them to send it to you. Once online with a Tymnet access number
- type "Information" at the user name prompt and you will be connected to
- another nice thing on tymnet which you have access to all thier Access Numbers
- also just like the "phones" service on Telenet. Tymnet is owned by "Mcdowell
- Douglas" corporation. Unlike Telenet where a long distance company owns the
- network. On Tymnet in the "Information" service there is a very cool option
- that will provide you with all the Dnic's (Networks) available from Tymnet.
- You may also want to get that on buffer but for your conveinience i will
- include a copy of that. The file "Basic.NetworksII" is the complete listing
- and i would like the Basic.NetworksII file to be accompanied by this file for
- the most part.
-
-
-
- Outdials
-
- Now i will discuss Outdials and tell how to use them. An Outdial on
- Telenet is an Pcp Port usally. It will enable you to connect data with a
- carrier. An Outdial is a modem connected up to the network to access the
- outdial spimply type the outdials Nua. Usally you will need a Nui or Pad to
- use an Outdial on Telenet just to let you know. Once connected to an Outdial
- on Telenet type "Ctrl-e" to get into the command mode of the Outdial or if
- your sharp on your Hayes modem AT command set just issue the commands thru the
- Outdial besure to type "Atz" when logged in to reset the modem parameters to
- default values. Outdials range from different baud rates just like what kind
- of modem is hooked into the Outdial port. This is the basic Telenet Outdial
- but there are many types a Tymnet Asychronus is a very good Outdial to use
- like i said there are many different types the above is for Telenet Pcp
- Outdials which are used most widely.
-
-
- Scanning Telenet
-
-
- Well now i will explain how to scan telenet and how to find Pcp outdials
- etc. When scanning telenet call your Access Number and at the prompt enter
- the Nua. Plan to scan a certain amount of Nua's in a session wether the
- number is up to you, usally when i scan i scan in blocks of 100 you can find
- alot of things while scanning. I will tell how to find pcp outdials, first if
- your looking for a particular area code for the outdial take the 313 area code
- for example usally an outdial is in the first 150 numbers scanned so i would
- suggest if scanning for outdials scan like this..the area code for which you
- want the outdial two 0's then a three digit number so the scan would look like
- this...31300001,31300002,31300003 etc.. im sure you get it...along the way you
- will probably find other neat things. Some things to know when scanning
- telenet is when you enter an Nua and it freezes like wont do anything send a
- break signal, for me i use Proterm for the Apple the break signal is open-
- apple b once the break signal is sent it should go back to a @ prompt again.
- If you try scanning another nua directly after you broke out from the frozen
- portion Telenet will give you an error message "Connection Pending" which
- means it is still looking for the Nua system from which you requested
- previously. To remedy this situation after the break signal is sent type "d"
- for disconnect it will then tell you the connection has been terminated.
- Proceed scanning the Nua continuing where you left off. (Note. you will get
- the freeze and have to repeat the sequence over and over again as of there are
- A LOT of Nuas that freeze) Well i bet your asking "how do i know when ive
- found an outdial?" usally Telenet will respond with a connect message and then
- nothing try to type "Atz" if it responds "ok" then you have a Outdial port
- where as Atz is the hayes modem command for reseting the modems paramaters to
- default settings. Ok now i will explain some things to look for and some wise
- things to do while scanning and also supply an response key explanations.
- Whenever you "Connected" to an Nua write it down no matter what it is make
- notes of what you find and label them for instance if you encounter any of
- these messages.
-
- User Name = a Vax System
- Login = a Unix system
- Primenet = a prime system
- Password = something worth noting
-
- Basicly anything that connects take note of this is very useful for finding
- systems to hack on even though most or all of Telenet has been scanned at one
- time or another there are always somethings to do! that is a FACT! Be sure to
- write down all "Refused Collect Connection" also because we must not forget
- that when we request an Nua that we are asking for a collect call all Nuas
- inputed on Telenet without an Nui are being paid for by the particlar system
- requested that is why when an Outdials Nua is requested without any sort of
- Pad,Nui etc. it will not excecpt the call in all cases i have encountered
-
- Here is a list of Network Messages that Telenet will respond with remember
- these are for any type of Telenet access the following may appear and a
