     (FORMATTED 40 COLS UPPERCASE)
 
    PRIVATE BRANCH EXCHANGES
(HENCEFORTH ACKNOWLEDGED AS "PBX'S")
ARE TELEPHONE SYSTEMS SET UP BY LARGE
CORPORATIONS TO MAKE LONG DISTANCE
PHONE CALLS AT A LOWER-THAN-AT&T PRICE.
HERE'S WHAT AND HOW A PBX WORKS:
    MANY PEOPLE ARE FAMILIAR WITH TOLL-
FREE NUMBERS (1-800-XXX-XXXX) THAT
ALLOW DIAL UP FROM ANYWHERE (WELL,
ALMOST ANYWHERE.. DEPENDING ON THE TYPE
OF WATS LINE THE COMPANY GOT.. BUT THIS
IS NOT IMPORTANT) IN THE UNITED STATES.
WATS (WIDE-AREA-TELEPHONE-SERVICE)
LINES ARE OFFERED BY AT&T AT A FLAT
RATE OF MAYBE $2000 PER MONTH WHIC
ALLOWS AN UNLIMITED AMOUNT OF LONG
DISTANCE CALLS TO THAT COMPANY.  2000
DOLLARS A MONTH MAY SEEM A LOT TO YOU
AND ME, BUT TO A COMPANY THAT NEEDS TO
TALK TO DISTRIBUTORS,  SALESMEN,
OTHER FRANCHISES,  ETC. IT IS A VERY
SMALL PRICE TO PAY.  (THE WATS LINE I
JUST DESCRIBED IS CALLED AN OUTWATS
LINE THAT IS,  A PHONE LINE THAT ONLY
ALLOWS OUTWARD CALLS).  NOW A PBX WORKS
ALMOST THE SAME WAY MCI, SPRINT, AND
OTHER LONG DISTANCE SERVICES WORK.  IT
USES AN INWATS (INWARD WATS [ANOTHER
1-800 NUMBER]) LINE TO ACCEPT ONE OF
THEIR EMPLOYEES PHONE CALLS.  THEN A
COMPUTER PICKS UP THE PHONE AND SENDS
OUT A TONE.  THE EMPLOYEE (OR YOU)
ENTERS A SIMPLE ACCESS CODE (USUALLY 3
OR 4 DIGITS LONG) AND THEN YOUR PHONE
NUMBER YOU ARE TRYING TO CALL.
     IF THE CODE IS APPROVED THE
COMPUTER SWITCHES YOU TO AN OUWTATS
LINE AND COMPLETES YOUR CALL,  AND
POOF! YOU'RE CONNECTED TO THE OTHER
END.
     PBX'S USED TO BE WITHOUT A CODE.
THAT IS,  ALL YOU'D DO IS CALL THE
800 NUMBER, AND THEN DIAL THE LONG
DISTANCE NUMBER.  BUT COMPANIES SOON
FOUND OUT THAT THEIR PHONES WERE BEING
USED BY PEOPLE OTHER THAT COMPANY
EMPLOYEES,  SO THEY ADDED THE CODE TO
TRY TO KEEP THESE UNWANTEDS OUT.
     HERE IS A LIST OF A FEW PBX'S
FROM A TEXT PHILE CALLED "PHREAKING
TUTORIAL II".  I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT
LIKE THESE TO HELP GET YOU STARTED.
