Mci recently Purchased Us Telecom and its subsidary, Southern Net[1087] U.S. Telecom U.S. Telecom was known as the "Metro" of the 950's. Codes were easily hacked and density varyed in direct proportion to the population of the area serviced. U.S. Tel's 950-1033 dialup is already famous among phreaks. They've placed qualifiers on the codes, even so the return rate runs around five per hundred hacks. Five percent - not bad. The node uses the standard seven digit format. Its a real dandy. They never die, unless they are REALLY abused. But the rate of return is droping as people become wise to us phreaks. When you get more then one code on them, use one and let the other sit, it WILL be good when you come back, and now you get a good rest from hacking. On their 800 numbers things seem to be set up quite uniquely: The format is constructed of two sets of three digits followed by two sets of four digits, XXX-XXX-XXXX-XXXX. We can assume the first sets of three are area qualifiers, actually area codes. USTel doesn't use the actual area code as do AT&T and MCI. Area codes 818 and 714 return as 527 and 662 respectively. Additionally, the three digit prefix and suffix are also bastardized. Hackers have deduced this is the product of a mathematical formula indexed from the users area code and phone number. The four digit "security code" is obtained by the same formula. The Dr's Note: 1033 happens to be my favorite of 950 extenders. I've been using it for about a year and a half. Each code I get lasts for months. I'd use it for a week, move onto another one, and so on until the ring is complete. I've never heard of anyone getting busted by Us Telcom, but I have noticed the rate of codes per attempts dropping. Used to be pretty easy, almost as easy as 1087, till now, its about 1 code for every 500 attempts. Real low, unless you're lucky. _______________________________________________________Blind Justice_________ Call These Fine Boards: The Digital Underground NAPPA HQ [301]913-5915 Plutonium Mines NAPPA [716]334-2305 Infinite Intoxication NAPPA [508]750-8035
