CONTRIBUTORS: NOM
FROM THE EDITOR:
We still need a lot of material to create the next few issues. If you have
anything you can contribute please contribute. Write an article anything.
I was going to publish a list of the best hackers in OZ, but we came to the
conclussion that it wouldn't be a good idea, particularly since so many things
are going on at the moment. Instead Volume #4 or possibly #5 will have a
list of the top five loosers of all time. It should be quite interesting,
and I would like your help with this one, so if you know anyone who qualifies,
please mail me.
I must apologise for the lateness of this edition, but due to circumstances
which you may know about, it was not possible to finish this file in time. If
you don't know what has been happening, I guess you should be filled in.
A reasonably large majority of Realm Members got busted. Seems like someone
gave out a phone number (won't mention names, but it doesn't take much
imagination to figure out who it was). The number was given out to save ones
ass, which was rather stupid since it revealed possible witnesses agains't that
person. DO YOU KNOW YOUR FRIEDS?? Or I think you should ask yourself
DO YOUR FRIENDS KNOW YOU?? If so, It might be a good idea to think about it.
Reason number two... Rumour has it that telescum have traced a large number
of people and compiled a list of hackers using Viatel or Austpac. From what
I hear (source reasonably reliable) is that they have been going round talking
to people on that list, trying to obtain info on some of the more notorious
characters. To add more weight to the rumour, a person close to the telescum
war machine has confirmed the existence of such a list.
Aparently I am at the top of the list, with some of the other more active
people. (If nothing else I guess it's nice to be appreciated.)
With all these things going on, we had to take some security precautions like
encryption of all data, spliting the realm into sections and running each at
a different location etc. This is the major reason for the delay.
I guess if you read volume #4 things will still be going great. If not, you
can pretty well guess the reason for the compulsory retirement.
(Hehehe Is that possible??)
May your lines be untraceable.

OUTDIAL SYSTEMS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nope, as a matter of policy, no more outdials. This is the second last Issue,
where you can pick up some outdials, (not so flash). They die to quickly
and there are only 2 more international I know off. I suggest for your
outdial needs, use either Unix, Primes or VAX's with an outdial modem. There
is a lot of them out there.
3106072912 HOUSTON OUTDIAL
3106007376 HOUSTON OUTDIAL This one used to be a very good, but due
to obuse once again the old NUA has been
changed. An additional complication is a
password protection they have added.
3106002046 MITEL/CANATA This one has been used long time ago, and
like the houston O/D it has password
protection. I didn't get this one, and I
am not sure who did, so I don't know who
to give credit to. Sorry.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UNUSUAL SYSTEMS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You all know the 03106 gateway. To connect to it, you just use that NUA.
Here are some more interesting ones you may not have.
03104 - MCII IMPACS
03132 - Compuserve
03113 - RCA-LSDS
03119 - TRT-DATAPAK
03740 - TEXTEL Trinidad
04542 - C & W INTELPAK Hong Kong
04877 - ITA UDAS Taiwan
I'll have some more for you, possibly next month. One thing to note, is that
I have connected to these from DATEX-P, so some may not work from AUSTPAC
or MIDAS.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYSTEM PASSWORDS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am very sorry about this, but due to my obsession with Primes, you will
just have to put up with them for a little longer.
31106030002015 Primos 18.2.1 DPC1 This is the DARTMOUTH PRIME I have
Listed previously, but try logging
is as DOS/DOS instead of GAMES/GAMES
26245890090831 Primos 19.3.4-Z GRAF LOGIN TEST
26245221040595 Primos 20.2.4v TWF_K LOGIN PRIME/PRIME
This leaves me with 3 more primes to go, but don't be afraid, in the next
issue I promis I will have something slightly better, like a VAX or two
in ISRAEL.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRIX OF THE TRADE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Minerva Now has some very claver ways as far as detecting hackers. They have
learned that there are certain systems frequently visited by hackers, like
Altos for example. If you connect to altos directly from minerva, you can
say bye bye to your account. This has been known for a while, but here
is a slightly new one.
I have been on altos late one evening, (Going via a PAD in GERMANY), when an
operator breaks in. We had a short chat, but I failed to get him going in
any sort of a decent conversation. You can usually pick up some usefull
information. In a situation like this, there is really no need to hang up
or be paranoid about getting traced, since if they wanted to, they could
have traced any time. Even if it was their intention to trace you, they would
have done it before revealing themselves to you.
I managed to capture the last bits of the convo (Remembered to Turn on My
Buffer. A little late, but still)
THE ACTUAL CONVO: (Operator is in lower case)
...............................................................................
HELLO OPERATOR
* OPERATOR user 10 *
you realise i am going to kill this account
I KNOW, AND I WILL GET A NEW ONE. WE HAVE PLAYED THIS GAME FOR UHH 3 YEARS NOW
OR SO
not when i am finished with you
A WELL, IT'S LIKE A SPORT TO ME. IT GETS RATHER ADDICTIVE.
HOW LONG WERE YOU AN OPERATOR HERE?
bye bye
Bye at 20:22
HANG ON
***From PRIMOS: Forced off.
Off At 20:22 24/02/88 AEST
Time used: 04h 42m connect, 04m 01s CPU, 00m 28s I/O.
Mail call (6 Unread)
CLR PAD
...............................................................................
This is nothing dramatic, since anyone who ever used minerva for a while
would have had a simmilar experience. The account, naturally, died the
minute I was forced off, but surelly the next day, it was back up working
as usual under the old password?? A hah, it's enough for anyone to
smell a trap. This is all leading up to the point I am making and that is,
don't use minerva accounts given to you by other people and don't give out
accounts you use. I gave the ID do an italian hacker, and he would have
had no knowldge of this event and anything he would have done on the ID would
have most probably been recorded. I actually went on the account and changed
the pw myself so he couldn't use it before I had the chance to contact him.
I think the reason OTC does that is to see what addresses are being used, so
that they can more easilly determine a hacker on another ID, just by the
address used from it. This is not an isolated incident, because it has
happened on several occasions in the past. What I don't understand, is why
they kill the account and then bring it back up?
Another, even more likelly explanation, is simply the real user finds his
account not working, dials Minerva gets the password changed, and restores
it to his old one. In that case, it would mean Minerva is trying to cover
up something shocking. I would imagine they wipe the bill off, and don't
tell the user that a hacker has been on the account, but who knows??
This is all bad anough, but minerva actually goes one step further. There
are regular hackers of minerva, who have actually been given their own
ID's to use, which they can check on. Now, if that isn't low, I don't know
what is.
An interesting solution to the problem would be to mail all the real users
and tell them the NUA for altos. If someone does that, they will think twice
before killing off the real users. (if anyone is game enuff, please check
with the altos sysops first)

===============================================================================
BT GOLD
~~~~~~~
I have spent so much time hacking BT GOLD, that it really isn't funny. I didn't
actually spend a lot of time on it, just small bits extended over the past few
years. Some of you may recal the good ole days when minerva was
actually minerva not keyling (a Dominant system) and Telememo was Telememo not
keylink a (Shitty system). Keylink is now a shitty system and Telememo has
improved a bit, but on the whole it still sux. Good after this rambling,
I refering to late 1984-1985 where there was no such thing as security on
Minerva. Them were the days where one could spend 24 hrs Sprinting and
not worry about the account dying. It was the time where every second
password was the users first name and everyone had a supply of at least 200+
accounts at the one time.
Ahh what a flashback. Would be nice to have a time machine. Anyway, as you
all know, minerva is only one system, a part of the entire DIALCOM Network.
(Ok, 3 systems if you want to be picky 07,08 and 09). A lot of countries
have a dialcom system of their own, and there is no reason why there can't
be one at the stage of minerva 4 years ago. Somehow I don't see the operators
worried about hackers in countries like Singapore, HONG-KONG etc (The list
goes on and on). I hope you can now appreciate the potential to find a nice
ripe system, ready for the taking.
In order to be usefull, a dialcom must have the NETLINK Facility, and it must
have an ONLINE USERLISTING. Without a Netlink, you can't use it as a pad,
and you can't use it for sprinting. Without a User Directory, it is
very difficult indeed to hack another account once the ones that you have
information on are exhausted.
PRIMECON NETWORK - Us Dialcoms systems are useless, since they don't have
an online user list. I have only chacked system 41
and systems in the same cluster namelly in the high
thirties and fifties. There could still be hope for
SYSTEMS 90-99 including the inhouse dialcom system 98.
BT GOLD - A fantastic system. The user directory is more
- Comprehensive than that on Minerva. Only problem is
that there is no NETLINK, which makes it rather useless.
There is however a netlink on system 80, which is used
by BT GOLD Staff.
As you can see, BT GOLD was an incredible waist of time, but because there is
hope of finding an unripe dialcom ready for raping dialcoms are all go.
The BT GOLD account I got, came from an italian hacker and has been passed
around for some time before that.

U.S. Canadian traffic is complicated by many
factors. the most common kind of traffic originates in
Canada from a terminal and terminates on a host in the
U.S. This is Inbound 3101 Collect and is billed by
Tymnet in U.S. dollars. Whether traffic is 3101 or 3000
traffic is determined soley by the nature of the
connection in Canada; 3000 is a host, 3101 is a terminal.
A username is not needed to access Tymnet from Canada
NOTES: There is a well defined area code for NUA's in a particular area,
much like TELENET, however the area codes a unique and don't match
the PTSN area codes. For reference, look up the datapac outdials
in Volume #2, which relates their codes to the PTSN ones. There
are lot more areas then given in the outdial list, but usually there
is some indication as to where the NUA's are.

In light of the recent excellent articles emerging from the REALM, I feel a
contribution on a more specific topic may be needed.
After a time the superficial aspects of hacking tend to erode and while the
important aspects still remain IE. An outdial is an outdial, an NUI is an
NUI etc bits and pieces tend to be forgotten or not passed from one
"generation" of hacker to the next, or are just plain not bothered with.
If asked what is the difference between X.25 and X.29 or Async and Sync I
assume that a good percentage of hackers would be able to tell me, BUT only
after looking in something like the Hackers Handbook. Now what I hope to
do is explain a LOT deeper what various terminologies mean, this will not
of course help people hack but I think it will help people to undeyyrstand
just what sort of technology and complexity the equipment that Austpac,
Midas etc use.
Lets start with the X series of protocols. As there are approx. 199
different X categories, and as only 4 are really relevant to us, we'll
concentrate on the 2 most well known but misunderstood they being of course
X.25 & X.28 and 2 others, X.3. and X.29.
Put simply X.25 deals specifically with the interface between a
Dedicated Terminal and the PAD they may be using, while X.29 deals with the
transmission of data between two or more PADS. Now to connect directly up
to an X.25 with a non (Start/Stop terminal, what we all use) would be very
nice, but unfortunately this can not be accomplished without the
intervention of the X.3. As an aid follow the picture
3 Separate Examples of Communication
[ME X.28]------------------|=PAD==X.29==PAD==|-------------------[YOU X.28]
| | |
[DPTE\ | | | /DPTE]
[DPTE+[X.25]---------------|-Packet Network--|-----------------[X.25]+DPTE]
[DPTE/ | | | \DPTE]
| | |
[ME X.28]------------------|=PAD==X.29=======|-----------------[X.25]+DPTE]
Confused?? Well let's clarify things according to the above diagram. On
the top line we see that we are assigned as needing an X.28 (simply the
asynch character transmission mode that we mainly use because we have no
built in packet switching capabilities IE. we are not connected to an X.25
DPTE (my own definition of Dedicated Packet-switching Terminal Equipment
There must be two X.3's (PADS) when connecting non DPTE's. What the X.25
Protocol really does is allow many terminals to be accessed individually
from a PAD. And what is the PADS' purpose? Simply to allow us to
communicate to X.25 equipment.
On the second line we have a DPTE (X.25 the physical link/protocol
connected straight through without the need for either X.28, X.29 or X.3
protocols) this is the most straightforward connection as both DTE's have
inbuilt packetising information.
The third line shows the connection of a standard terminal through the PAD
as you can see only one side needs packetising and protocol conversion
straight through. This example is mostly what we are concerned with for we
are the X.28 we reach the PAD (Austpac for example) and depending on our
NUA connect to the X.25 gateway, then the host terminal or destination. An
example of this would be the DNIC 3106 this would establish which gateway
you want to access in this case Tymnet. The rest of the NUA (actually when
calling international X.25 another X category is used X.121 or simply Data
Network Identification Code) lets say NUA 03106+[000636]<-- would select
which computer on the X.25 gateway you want to connect with.
At this point you may have noticed that your whole concept of a PAD has
changed, a PAD merely Disassembles Data, shoots it into the Packet Network
and then Assembles the data back so that it can be received depending on
what the X.25 has to say. The whole point of the X.29 is so that two PADS'
can communicate. X.25 serve to generally control packet flow as well as
doing protocol conversions and speed conversions, allowing you at 300 baud
to connect to virtually any system. Part of this packet flow concerns
where the information is being sent... This introduces the next part
ESTABLISHING THE CALL
---------------------
There are two ways of establishing calls on a packetised network. These
are VC (Virtual Calls) and PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuits).
A VC is the non-physical link between the calling Date Terminal Equipment
(us..DTE) to the called DTE (them..the computer we are calling). It is the
exact equivalent to a telephone call except that no PHYSICAL link is
established. Instead a logical channel number (LCN) is set up from then on
data (packets) are sent to a channel rather than physically down a wire as
in the telephone. Hence it is called virtual due to it not actually
existing.
PVC is the same except that a permanent number is assigned as being the
logical channel. This is the equivalent to a direct line but all non
physical. The actual "conversation" which takes place when a DTE wishes to
call another is explained thus:
DTE to DTE DCE to DTE
---------- ----------
Call Request --------->Incoming Call
Call Accepted<-------- Call Connected
Data------------------>Data
Data<----------------- Data
Clear Request -------->Clear Indication
DTE - initiated<------ Network Initiated
Clear Confirmation---->Clear Confirmation
What this table represents is the procedures that must occur during a
connection. As you can see its all logical with a Calls being requested by
us and Calls being notified by them. This is based on the Telephone system
whereby we take over in some aspects IE I might say GOODBYE (Clear Request)
then the person I'm talking to would as well (Clear Indication) and so on.
The most up to date explanation to the inner workings of all things X is
the OSI/RM (Open Systems Interconnection Reference Model). OSI/RM are a
collection of different "layers" within the network which offer developers
a generalized outline of what a data network must handle. It is not law
that people must follow these procedures but it is a concerted effort to
bring about a standard way to exchange information. The X.25 system follow
this architecture very closely and though OS/RM contains 7 layers and X.25
contains but three (packet, link and physical) the following explanation
may serve to explain how a network operates.
7. Application Layer Concerns - Am I talking to the right person? Who is
paying for this call? Is this the best time to talk, or should I call back.
6. Presentation Layer Concerns - Are we talking the same language and/or
dialect.
5. Session Layer Concerns - Can this situation be handled in one call or
several? Will other people need to be brought in at different times? Who
will control the discussion in a multi party conversation? Who will
re-establish the call if we are cut off?
4. Transport Layer Concerns - What is the most cost effective way to handle
this call (or calls) consistent with priorities? What long distance
carrier should be used?
3. Network Layer Concerns - Dial the number and listen for call progress
signals. Redial if you get a busy signal or get cut off. Disconnect when
the conversation is completed.
2. Link Layer Concerns - Talk when you are supposed to and listen when you
are supposed to. Ask for a repeat if there is something you don't
understand. Tell the other party to slow down if they are talking to fast.
1. Physical Layer Concerns - These are the actual sounds being made into
the mouth piece from the receiver.
Well that's as far as I'm prepared to go depth wise into packet systems.
This hasn't even scratched the surface of what's to be known. If anyone
would like to know more about a specific topic please E-MAIL me and I'll
try to help.

1. Warning
BETWEEN 8.00 am and 9.00 am every Tuesday, network development and service
work is carried out on JANET. This means that if you make a call during
these hours there is an increased danger of the system going down which may
result in loss of data.

2. Introduction
The Gateway is a two-way link between the U.K. Academic Network (JANET) and
PSS. At present there are two Gateways between JANET and PSS, one at
Rutherford and another at ULCC in London.
The Gateway consists of a computer which holds a communications program and
sits between two networks (JANET and PSS in this case). This allows the
user to bridge the gap between the networks and access target computers on
the other network. It is important to realise that there are two ways of
communicating with the Gateway - you can make calls TO the Gateway computer
to access its limited user facilities or you can make calls THROUGH it to a
target computer on the other network.
The Gateway operates as a Transport Level Gateway in accordance with the
'Yellow Book' Transport Service. However the present implementation does
not have a full Transport Service and therefore, there are some limitations
in the service provided. For X29 which is incompatible with the Yellow Book
Transport Service, special facilities are provided for the input of user
identification and addresses.
The Gateway is a protocol transparent link. This means that the Gateway
cannot be used for protocol conversion; to do this a third party machine
must be used.

__________________________________
Permission to Use the Gateway
_____________________________________
4.1 Authentication and Authorisation
No unauthenticated use of the Gateway from JANET is allowed regardless of
whether charges are incurred at the Gateway or not. Therefore to use the
Gateway you have to obtain authentication (a userid and password) and
authorisation (a call allocation) from the JANET Network Executive. This
consists of:
a. USERID
b. PASSWORD
c. USAGE ALLOCATION
Note that the authorisation for PSS and IPSS is managed separately, although
a single USERID may have authoristation for both.
____________________________
4.2 Charging and Accounting
There are 4 separate charging rates, which are:
PSS full rate: PSS (FULL)
PSS discount rate: PSS (DISC)
TLXN: Telex access via Interstream 1.
IPSS full rate: IPSS (FULL)
Note that the TELEX access is expensive, as the cost includes the use of
PSS, Interstream 1 and TELEX. Anyone who is interested in TELEX access
should first discuss it with the Network Executive.
To be able to make chargeable calls you must request a call allocation to
cover the charging rates you want to use when you ask for your
authentication. For calls that are free e.g. calls within JANET or normal
charge calls from PSS you do not need an allocation.
The PSS discount rate applies from 1800 to 0800 each night and all day on
weekends, Christmas Day and New Year's Day. The PSS full rate applies at
ALL OTHER times. The IPSS full rate applies at ALL times for international
calls. For details of the international rates to various countries consult
Network User Note 2.
If your allocation runs out during an active call, then that call will be
cleared and all further calls at that rate will be refused.
______________________________________________
5. How to Make Terminal Calls to the Gateway
It is possible to make calls to the Gateway to access the HELP and ACCOUNT
facilities.
The HELP facility contains the whole of this user guide in its most uptodate
form. The facility allows random scans of the document and searches for
text within the document.
The Account facility allows the user to inspect the state of his account and
to change the password for that account.
_____________________________________
How to make contact with the Gateway.
If you are calling the RAL Gateway from PSS use the DTE address
234223519191.
If you are calling the RAL Gateway from JANET use the DTE address
000000000040.
If you are calling the London Gateway from PSS use the DTE address
234219200148 or 234219200100.
If you are calling the London Gateway from JANET use the DTE address
000040000040.
Make a terminal call to the Gateway.
A title message will appear on the terminal announcing the Gateway, followed
by the lines:
OS4000+Rlix V30 PSS Gateway
Logging in
user
If nothing appears, keep pressing <CARRIAGE RETURN> until the above message
appears.
It is now possible to log in and use the Help or Account facilities. For
details of these facilities see section 7 of this document.
___________________________________________________
6. How to Make Terminal Calls Through the Gateway
The method used to make a call through the Gateway depends on the type of
PAD being used. If your PAD supports TS29 the procedure is simplified as
this protocol allows you to make calls that can cross several networks via
several Gateways. If your PAD supports X29 then if you wish to cross
several Gateways you normally have to stop at each one before you can pass
through it. However a special facility is provided using the Call User Data
Field to allow X29 calls non-stop through the JANET PSS Gateway.
Whichever protocol your PAD supports, you must have some way of generating a
Transport Service Called Address for onward routing by the Gateway.
_________________________________________
6.1 The Transport Service Called Address
To make a call through the Gateway you have to supply the following
information in the form of a Transport Service Called Address to your local
PAD.
a. Netname: the name of the network you are calling.
b. Authentication: consisting of Userid and Password in that order.
This can be omitted for free calls.
c. Host address: the network address of the remote host.
The format of the Transport Service Called Address is as follows:
<Netname>(<Authentication>).<Host Address>
These are explained below.
_______
Netname
This is one of the following:
JANET to connect to JANET
PSS to connect to PSS
J an alias for JANET.
______________
Authentication
This consists of 3 fields which must be entered in the order shown.
a. user id,
b. password,
c. A request for the call to be reverse charged.
The last field is optional.
Note that the whole authentication string must be enclosed in parentheses.
_______
Example
(FRED,XYZ,R) Requests a reverse charge call
(FRED,XYZ) Requests a chargeable call.
____________
Host Address
This is the numeric address of the machine being called. However to make
things easier the numeric address can be replaced with an alphanumeric
mnemonic if one has been set up on the Gateway.
_______
Example
use RLGB instead of 000000002105 to call the Rutherford GEC 'B' machine
use SALF instead of 234261643210 to call Salford on PSS.
For a list of these mnemonics see JANET User Notes 5 and 6.
Host addresses can be complex and it is possible to specify several Gateways
that you must pass through to reach a specific remote host and/or the
service required. Note that a point (.) must be used to separate the
numeric addresses or mnemonics from the service names.
_______
Example
SVPA - this calls the Sussex SERC Prime on Janet.
SVPA.FTP - this calls FTP on the Sussex SERC Prime on Janet.
To connect to some machines, an X25 sub-address is required, which consists
of a number of extra digits added on to the machine address. This can be
easily entered on the Gateway by using the delimiter '-' at the end of the
mnemonic address and then typing the sub-address. When the mnemonic is
translated the delimiter is ignored and the whole address is converted into
a continuous string.

easily entered on the Gateway by using the delimiter '-' at the end of the
mnemonic address and then typing the sub-address. When the mnemonic is
translated the delimiter is ignored and the whole address is converted into
a continuous string.

Example
Janet-69 is translated to 23422351919169

6.2 Making Calls Using TS29 Protocol
TS29 is the ideal protocol to use through the Gateway, since there should be
no problem entering the Transport Service Called Address. However, first
make sure that the machine you are calling will support TS29. When using
this protocol for network terminal calls the service name of the TS29 server
should be entered explicitly.
_____________________
6.3 The Full Address
Combining all these factors a full address might look like this.
J(FRED,XYZ).RLGB.TS29
____________________________________
6.4 Making Calls Using X29 Protocol
X29 is incompatible with the 'Yellow Book' Transport Service and some PADS
are unable to generate the Transport Service Called Address. When making an
X29 call, the onward Called Address may be entered into the Call User Data
Field of the Call. Some PADs, e.g. the British Telecom PAD are unable to
generate a Call User Data Field longer than 12 characters and so there may
not be enough space to hold all the information required. In this case, a
Call must be established only as far as the Gateway, and a dialogue held
with the Gateway to establish the next part of the connection.
If your PAD can generate a Call User Data Field, then the first character of
the text is treated as a delimiter, and should be entered as the character
'@' followed by the onward Called address.
_______
Example
On a CAMTEC PAD one might enter:-
CALL 00004000004096 D=@(FRED,XYZ).SOMEWHERE
to make a call through the London Gateway to SOMEWHERE on PSS.
________________________________________
Overcoming Call User Data Field Problems
With X29 PADs the onward Called Address can be supplied interactively at the
Gateway without having to set up a Call User Data field. To do this the
Gateway must be called with the correct X25 sub-address. This involves
adding an extra 2 digits onto the normal 12 digit address of the Gateway.
The sub-address for JANET is 69 and 96 for PSS. The Gateway will then
prompt for the onward Called Address.
The procedure is as follows: Call the Gateway using the correct
sub-address:
23422351919169 to call JANET from PSS via the RAL Gateway
00000000004096 (or the mnemonic RL.PSS) to call PSS from JANET
via the RAL Gateway.
23421920014869 to call JANET from PSS via the London Gateway
00004000004096 (or the mnemonic LON.PSS) to call PSS from
JANET via the London Gateway.
The response from the Gateway will be the following message:
Please enter your authorisation and address required in form:
(user,password).address
>
Reply with the appropriate response.
_______
Example
(FRED,XYZ).SOMEWHERE
As the X29 protocol is being used there is no need to include the service
name X29.
Authentication is not required when calls are free, e.g. for incoming calls
to JANET. In this case the string (FRED,XYZ) can be omitted, note however
that the address should still be preceded with a point.
_______
Example
.RLGB
There is a timeout of between 3 and 4 minutes for this response after which
the call will be cleared, however there is no limit to the number of
attempts which can made within this time limit. If the authorisation or
adress entered is invalid the Gateway will request it again. To abandon the
attempt clear the call from the PAD. For further details of how to do this
see Network User Note 11.
You will find that on some PADs a 'call connected' message will appear on
the terminal as soon as the call has been connected to the Gateway. This
does not mean that you have made contact with your ultimate destination.
When you have contacted the remote host the Gateway will show a 'Call
connected to remote address' message.

That's it, The end of another GLOBE TROTTER. I'll be off and do some TROTTING
myself. Time to start on the next volume.
In the next issue, there will be the second part of the NUA scans on DATAPAC.
Hopefully it will all fit and we can get DATAPAC over and done with.
In the months to come, you will see some of the following:
- JANET User Docs Part #2
- Dialcom Systems Directory, A comprehensive guide to Dialcoms
- Merit systems and Node Names
- Scans of networks, in EUROPE, JAPAN, USA, ISRAEL, BRAZIL and lot more.
