13 (>CTRL-S STOP/START SPACE TO EXIT<) THE WASTELANDS (216)-442-5432 THE RCA NETWORK:PART I BY THE TELEX TROOPERS THE RCA NETWORK IS A SERVICE PROVIDED TO MANY COMPANIES FOR THEIR@TELEX, AND TELEGRAM NEEDS. THEY CAN COMUNICATE OVERSEAS, SHORE-TO-SHIP, SHIP-TO-SHIP, AND DOMESTICALLY. ALSO OFFERED IN THIS NETWORK IS A SERVICE KNOWN AS FYI. FOR YOUR INFORMATION IS A NEWS NETWORK ALLOWING PEOPLE TO LOOK UP CURRENT STOCK QUOTES, WEATHER REPORTS, BEST-SELLER LIST, HOROSCOPES, AND MANY OTHER HUMAN INTEREST THINGS, SUCH AS SENDING A MAILGRAM OF A GET-WELL CARD, OR A BIRTHDAY CARD. THE SECURITY OF THIS SYSTEM IS RATHER LOW. IT USES THE ANSWERBACK OF THE COMPANY FOR IDENTIFICATION AND VALIDATION. THEY DO THIS BY RANDOMLY SENDING A ^E, OR INQUIRE CHARACTER TO THE ACCESSING TERMINAL. IF THE TERMINAL DOES NOT ANSWER, IT WILL DISCONNECT, OR IF THE PASSWORD IS NOT CORRECT, IT WILL HANG UP AS WELL. ALL THAT NEEDS BE DONE IS TO HAVE A TERMINAL PROGRAM THAT CONTINUALLY CHECKS FOR ^E'S AND SENDS A PRE-PROGRAMMED MESSAGE TO THE HOST. WITH THIS KNOWLEDGE, YOU CAN ACCESS ONE OF THE LARGEST DATABASES/SERVICES IN THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES, AND EVEN THE WORLD. THE ANSWERBACK OF ANY COMPANY USING RCA NETWORK IS USUALLY IN THE FORMAT SHOWN BELOW: ####### ABCDEFGHIJ UR ######=TELEX# ABCDEFGHIJ=COMPANY ABBREV. UR=STANDARD SUFFIX TO UTILIZE RCA, SET YOUR TERMINAL AS ABOVE WITH THE ANSWER- BACK OF A COMPANY THAT UTILIZES THE RCA NETWORK. THEN CALL THE RCA COMPUTER, AND YOU WILL RECEIVE A MESSAGE: RCA GA AT THIS POINT YOU TYPE IN YOUR CHOICE, FOLLOWED BY A +. FOR THE HOTLINE (FYI) YOU WOULD TYPE 12+ WITH NO CARRIAGE RETURN. THEN THE HOST WOULD SEND A ^E AND CHECK THE IDENTIFICATION OF YOUR TERMINAL. IF IT WAS CORRECT, IT WILL CONTINUE INTO THE SERVICE, PROMPTING YOU ALONG THE WAY. TO SEND A STANDARD TELEX, YOU WOULD MERELY TYPE IN THE TELEX NUMBER YOU WERE SENDING TO FOLLOWED BY A +. WHEN DONE TYPING THE TELEX MESSAGE, YOU MERELY TYPE 4 PERIODS IN A ROW, AND YOU WILL BE GIVEN CHARGABLE TIME. AND BE DISCONNECTED FROM THE RCA SERVICE. THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH RCA IS THAT EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE A 300 BAUD CONNECTION TO THE PHONE NETWORK, THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE MODEM AND THE CENTRAL COMPUTER IS 50 BAUD. WHEN SENDING A TELEX TO A FOREIGN COUNTRY, YOU MUST USE A COUNTRY CODE, AND THESE ARE AVAILABLE FROM YOUR NEAREST TELEX DIRECTORY. TO SEND A TELEGRAM WITH THE RCA SERVICE, MERELY ENTER 11+ AT THE RCA GA PROMPT. FROM HERE YOU MAY SEND A TELEGRAM ANYWHERE ON LAND, FOR A MARINE TELEGRAM, ENTER 13+. ALL PROCEDURES FOR MARINE TELEGRAMS AND STANDARD TELEX MESSAGES WILL BE COVERED IN A FUTURE FILE, BUT FOR NOW, THE HOTLINE SERVICE IS AVAILABLE TO USE WHILE YOU ARE WAITING, SO VISIT YOUR LOCAL HACK, AND HE WILL INSTRUCT YOU HOW TO USE THE FOLLOWING PHONE NUMBER: 1-800-526-3714 OR 1-800-526-3881 FIRST NUMBER IS FOR DIRECT CONNECT, AND THE SECOND IS FOR STORE AND FORWARD MESSAGES. ________________________ /HE /ELEX /ROOPERS----- --------------------------------------- WHICH 1-17 (?=MENU,TIONS COM
