The Israeli phone sys l cm, like their AC 
current volts] and their television 

standard (PAL) ' a KurOpenn system* Huro-

Cl all, dialing is hy shortiElg out" the phone 
lino rather' than opening it. up. One of the 
cl rawl? neka of this met hod is t lies. I act ck 1 on - 
s ion phone on a line boing dialed will have 
its bell capacitors continually discharged

is the "'off hook'" voltage — u more 3.5

Oil American system. 

Thei r pay tel Ophones a re organ i zed on a 
token system. You threw in one token for a 
Local call, and for longer distances the pay 
phone eat a the tokens at u certain rate per 
minuter. There's a little chute in the phone 
which will stock up four or five of the 
tokens so that you don't have to pour them 
til all the limn. A5RMQNIM ( which is just 
the Hebrew word for "tokens' ) cun be bought 
at any 310 s!. office. The going rate is 
around n nickel each. 

This system has various advantages and 3 through the busy 


drawbacks .

eea*t one token in, and out you off when the 
tokens run out . Whether Of not the tokens 
drop into its Coin box (unused tokens eon he 
ret rieved when the os it is over) is deter- 
mined by ttxe exchange, Signals are sent 
over one of the three wires- of" the pay 
phone's line whenever the exchange decides 
that it. wants another token. Just discon - 
Electing the proper wire (which can happen by 
1 1 sa 1 i" a 1. t i nies when the phone breaks down ) 
will let the phone run forever on one token - 
Worse yet, if you cull access the two other 


their telco takes any money m ai aft, I'h ■ - 

explanation lies in their rale struct ure, 
which is rather reasonable. There are only

message unit (or one telephone token from ;i 
pay phono) , intermediate (say, from i he 
center of town to the remote suburbs of that

another). That's it. So to cult from one

descriptions of the activities of crushers 
who try to erase files or halt systems und 
of hackers reading personal documents and 
entering corporate computers. 

I.andreth often makes mention of a system 
by its value. ''Someone is trying r.o break 
into your million dollar computer..." he 
fright suy. This is the language thui 
corporate America speaks. L&hdretn is not 
very worried that $o»eone muy be looking ot 
your credit 1 nfonaat ion 3 and even less 
worried that there enlist companies that own 
und sell it. 

But* basically* Umdroth fulfills the 
purpose of the hook in two chapters; ''Hake 
the Most, of What You've Got’* and ''Tel Lt ale 
sigitf;". Together they would make a good 
guide of simple suggestions that could prove 
liivuluobte to sysops;, system designers, 
oraputer security consultants. In 
at ter chapter* Liindreth discusses bow 
could reduce access ihi 1 i t y to spare

intruder has been on the system, such as 
excessive use of help files, movement of 
ot Jier f i 1 ox , UC tl vi t y in norma 1 1 y dormant

alone that make the book useful. They
