- The Basics of TELENET
- Part I
-
- This Bulletin is the first in a series to cover the general procedures of the
- major data networks:
-
- Telenet
- Tymnet
- Autonet
- Arpanet
- [More to be added]
-
-
- BACKGROUND
- ----------
- Telenet connects many large computers to itself through dedicated telephone
- lines, each of these 'host computers' is assigned a node address(ie.:NPAxx).
- Telenet is an international data network, connecting to computers around the
- world.See the International telenet bulletin for more on this.
-
- CONNECTING
- ----------
- Telenet is probably the most 'user friendly' network of the four listed. A
- normal logon looks like this: [NPA=Area code,xx=node address] You hit <CR>
- <CR> [2 Returns] Telenet respnds with:TELENET NPAxx
-
- TERMINAL=(Here you type your terminal identifier) (See the bulletin section for
- the list)
-
- @
-
- The '@' is Telenet's promt to you to go ahead.
-
- Things to do on telenet
- -----------------------
- To connect to a node type:
- @C NPAxx
- Telenet will atempt to connect to the computer at the node given.
- A few of the things that Telenet will say are:
-
-
- NPAxx CONNECTED (You are connected to a computer)
- ILLEGAL ADDRESS (Not a working node)
- NPAxx NOT REACHABLE (The computer at that node is 'DOWN')
- NPAxx REFUSED COLLECT CONNECTION(Needs a paid ID [More later]
- NPAxx REJECTING (Computer is 'UP' but not available)
- NPAxx NOT RESPONDING (The computer at that node is 'DOWN')
-
- These are most of the things that Telenet will tell you
-
- MORE THINGS TO DO
- -----------------
- Typing an @ while in a host computer will return you to Telenet You will
- still be connected to the other computer, you may: D (to disconnect from that
- computer) or TAPE (Unknown, possibly records your actions so that) (you may
- look at them later)
-
- If you type either of the above, while not connected to a node telenet will
- respond with NOT CONNECTED
-
- MISC.
- -----
- RESET (Returns Telenet to the beggining,you must start again (with the
- <CR><CR>)
-
- SET (Unknown)
-
- MAIL (To connect to GTE Telemail) It will ask for User? and Password?
-
-
- NOTES
- -----
-
- In addition to the normal area codes in NPAxx there are also other NPA's used
- in Telenet, 909 and 311, for instance.
-
- Telenet hangs up after three disconnections from host computers, this
- unfortunately is quite a PAIN in the ___ There is no way to get around this as
- far as I can tell.
-
- The ID command in Telenet is to Identify users to the host computers. You
- must type ID (your ID#) (your password). If you just type ID, telenet will
- tell you that your ID is cleared, which means nothing. To recieve a paid user
- ID on telenet call them at: Telenet customer service:800-336-0437 800-572-
- 0408(In Virginia)
-
-
- HACKING
- -------
- Telenet is very convinient for hackers as it connects many computers to your
- terminal, without having to find and dial many numbers. Start your Telehacking
- by picking an areacode and then trying all the nodes in that NPA. You will no
- doubt find many interesting computers 'to work on'.
-
- Here are instructions for using TELENET. There are some very basic things,
- which most people already know, and some other things, which even the most
- dedicated hackers have probably never even heard of. This includes things such
- as international access, etc. Well, have fun.

- INTERNATIONAL ADDRESSING/INTERNATIONAL ACCESS PROCEDURES
-
-
- I. TELENET INTERNATIONAL ADDRESS FORMAT
-
- ---------------------------- Data Network
- | Identification Code (DNIC)
- |
- |
- |
- | ------------------- Area Code
- | |
- | |
- | | ------------- DTE Address
- | | |
- | | | ----- Port Address
- | | | |
- | | | |
- DDDD AAA HHHHH PP

- ----- Optional Subaddress
- Field for Packet Mode DTE
-
-
- Example: Telenet International
- ------- -------------
- 212 141 3110 21200141
- 909 84 3110 90900084
-
-
-
- II. ACCESS TO OVERSEAS PUBLIC DATA NETWORKS
-
- 1. Turn on the terminal and coupler.
- 2. Dial the nearest Telenet access number (See Telenet Public Dial listing).
- When you hear a high-pitched tone, place the telephone
- receiver in the coupler.
-
- For Data Sets (Bell 103 or 113 type), depress the data button.
-
- 3. Type Two carriage returns (CR).
- 4. Telenet will give you a port identification number and ask you
- to identify your terminal type in the two or four
- character id for your terminal followed by a carriage
- return (CR) or type carriage return (CR).
-
- (EX.) TELENET
- 202 DL9
- TERMINAL = AJ63(CR)
-
- 5. After Telenet prompts with a '@' type 'ID', skip a space (SP)
- and type your password followed by a carriage return. (Contact
- your GTE Telenet Representative to obtain a required caller
- paid ID.)
-
- (EX.) @ID(SP);INTL(CR)
-
- Type in your password.
-
- (EX.) PASSWORD = 123456(CR)
-
- 6. After Telenet prompts with an @, type a C. skip a space and
- type the network address of the computer you wish to access,
- followed by a carriage return (CR).
-
- (EX.) @C(SP)023411234567890(CR)
-
- Note: Your International address will follow a format such as:
-
- 020801234567890 for France/Transpac
- 023421234567890 for United Kingdom/British Telecom
- 026241234567890 for Germany/Datex-P
-
- 7. Telenet will respond with a connection message. You are now
- ready to begin your conversation with the host computer.
-
- (EX.) (ADDRESS)CONNECTED
-
- 8. To disconnect from your computer, log off as usual. Telenet
- will send you a disconnected message.
-
- (EX.) (ADDRESS)DISCONNECTED
-
- Hang up to disconnect from Telenet.
-
- (CR) = Carriage return
- (SP) = Space
