An Introduction To Overseas PDN's and how to use their NUI facilities
This file is for anyone who is interested in any of the European Networks or networks other than the ones in the USA. There are 80+ PDN's (Public Data Networks) worldwide. Many of these networks are accessible to hackers but un- fortunately, they also require an NUI (Network User Identifier) to use them at all. I will list some few choice nets that I think are good to mess with. Also, I will tell the exact format for logging into the network with an NUI. Although most of this information was obtained from tymnet, I feel this file will help others who don't know about "information" on tymnet or who are too lazy to look it up themselves.
Some Terms to know before reading further. So that you understand how to access these networks, the following terms must be explained so your attempts at accessing these nets will be an easy and positive experience.
DNIC-Data Network Identification Code
The DNIC is what separates one network from another. It is assigned by the CCITT (International Telephone & Telegraph Consultative Committee) to specify a particular Public Packet-Switched Data Network. The DNIC is made up of four digits. the way it is broken down is shown below.
3110
The first digit of the DNIC specifies the world geographic zone or network type. a list of the different zones and network types are shown below.
1st DNIC Digit Zone
0 Reserved
1 Reserved
2 Europe
3 North America
4 Asia
5 Oceania and Southeast Asia
6 Africa
7 South America
8 Telex/TWX networks
9 Telephone NetworksThe first digit of the DNIC + the next 2 digits make up what is commonly referred to as the DCC (Data Country Code). Some examples of DCC's are show below.
DCC Country
208 France
234 United Kingdom and Northern Ireland
250 Soviet Union
302 Canada
311 United States
425 Israel
440 Japan
450 Korea
454 Hong Kong
502 Malaysia
505 Australia
602 Egypt
604 Morocco
724 Brazil
730 ChileThe last digit of the DNIC specifically identifies the particular Packet-Switched Network. However, since there are more than 10 Public Data Networks in the US, the CCITT has granted the United States the use of the last 2 digits to identify the network. Some examples of DNIC's are shown below.
DNIC Public Data Network
3104 MCI
3106 Tymnet
3110 Telenet
3126 ADP-Autonet
3132 Compuserve
3136 GEIS-Marknet
3137 Infonet
3140 SNET-ConnNet
3142 Bell South-Pulselink
3144 Nynex-Infopath
3149 WangpacNUI-Network User Identifier or Identification
Im sure many of you have used a Tymnet NUI like microwire or cmbpac.
An NUI is used by the network to identify a user at logon. It is also used for billing purposes, security, and network management. So if you used microwire to connect to QSD, LUTZ, or Pegasus, microwire is billed for that connection IE. the Company has to pay for it. simple enough.. just remember that most NUI's are monitored. So it is important to not let any information which you do not wish to be disclosed pass through the NUI.
Please refer to Doctor Dissector's Intro To PSN's or Erik Bloodaxe's Scan of Telenet in LOD Tech Journal #4 for explanation of X.121 International Addressing for NUAS.
The list that follows are some overseas PDN's that probably many of you have seen people from on any of the European Chats.
Please Note: All Networks, Phone numbers, DNIC's and login procedures have been checked to the best of my ability and are correct.
==============================================================================
Network:Datex-P Location:Germany DNIC:2624
After Connection type .<cr> The network will prompt: DATEX-P:XX-XXXX
(where XX and XXXX are the location and port number.)
At this point you can enter in an NUI for Datex-P.
NUI entry follows this format: type NUI <nui><cr> EX. NUI dasboot
Then it will prompt:DATEX-P;Password: of course you enter the password
if there is one. if you get the ; prompt after you try an NUI, then it
has no password. after you enter password, then you will be prompted
to enter the X.121 International Address or NUA. EX.0208057040540
0 and 1 are the reserved zones in the DNIC table. they serve as
specifying international access. EX. if you were trying to access QSD
from Telenet, you couldnt type 208057040540 because it would think you
wanted a host in the 208 area code of the US. thats why you have to
type 0208057040540 to let the network know you want a host in France.
Please remember that Telenet does not allow you to just call France.
Once again you will need an NUI to do that.
Also remember that you will need someway to call overseas using a
PBX or Network Gateway to use these overseas PDN's.
The rest of the networks I list will be shorter and just follow the
format I explained above.

Network:Datapac Location:Canada DNIC:3020After connection type ..<cr> (note: the # of periods you type determines the baud.) you can access Datapac via Tymnet which is probably a whole lot easier. just dial your local Tymnet # and at the please login: prompt type dpac<cr> then you will get an ; which is the prompt that you type in Datapac nuas try this one 302092100086 Datapac's Information Database. if you want to access Datapac direct, the numbers are below.
416-868-4100 (1200 bps) for Toronto
416-979-1232 (2400 bps)Datapac will prompt: DATAPAC XXXX XXXX
after that you can just type in NUA's I am not sure about the NUI Subscription Service.. then again Canada is not really overseas. I just thought I would put it here becuase it is a very useful and interesting PSN. (Packet Switched Network)
The Following are test addresses for the networks I have listed in this file. you can reach these NUA's from any X.25 based Net as long as you have an NUI or PAD (Packet Assembler/Disassembler) with no calling restrictions.
Network Test Address
Telepac 228484100995
PSS 23421920100515
Jupak 2201611055
Itapac 2222610298 Id itapac pw:itapac
Datex-P 2624562104000
ID:INF300 PW:DATACOM
Datex-P 26245690049002These are just some of the Networks you can access. for a complete list call your local Tymnet # and login as information. Well I hope you enjoyed this file.. Look for more network related files from CON in the future.
