RAC RAC is a host system used for getting into GEnie and AppleLink (a macintosh bbs, Icon-driven!). It is run by General Electric, and has been referred to by a lot of different names, e.g. RAC, GEIS, LCG, 6301, 4745, etc. depending on who is on-line. There are no doubt other systems which can be gotten into through RAC, but that's all we've found so far. The host computer, however, often has test accounts on it. Once on the host, you can enter programs, delete them, run them, edit them, list them, and catalog them. some of these files arent actually programs at all, merely text files, which you can look at. The system can thus be used as a simple BBS, nation wide, for no cost. The way to get into RAC is to dial Pacnet (1742 for 1200, 1743 for 2400, etc) then type "63010000", and hit return. you dont need to use an NUI, as it is a reverse charge number. You used to have to type "?R-63010000", but that has been improved by TBS (The Bastard Squad - Telecom, you dummy). Once in, the system will ask you for your "U#=" (user name) the Host one will be described here. These User names used to work but don't anymore; JOHN 1234567890 TEST2 TEST3 These User names still work as at 24/4/90; TEST1 Once on, note down any unusual messages if they seem suspicious. Then once you get "READY", type "CAT" to get a catalog of current files. You can list them out by typing "LIS filename" and hitting return. If they need passwords, forget it! So far, we've had no luck at all. Other commands are, "BYE" to log out, "HEL" to log in again under a different user name, "EDI" to edit files and "RUN filename" to run the files, e.g. "RUN o.to.d" runs an octal to decimal program.
