There was some mentioning here about the use by Australia of the
"international area code" 1880 for calls dialed into 1800.  I use
quotes around that term because, as it should be well aware to readers
of this forum, 1880 is not now in use as a dialing code, and it might
be confusing, i.e. this was apparently a problem because people expect
the number to be 1800.  But sometimes solutions to problems come from
unusual ideas, as I know from my own business.

Why not have it that way for real?  Use 880 and 800 as the same "area 
code"!

Why not allow 880 and 800 to both represent the same service code/area
code, and no longer state that 800 is the toll free area code? 

Or even easier, have 88x be assigned as the "Toll free code" system,
e.g.  "Dial 188 plus the 8-digit toll-free number." when someone is in
the U.S., Canada and the North American multinational code 1809.

Oh, wait, people will start complaining about loss of their valuable
"800 name" trademarks, e.g. 800-FLOWERS, 800-THE-CARD, 800-TDARCOS,
and, of course, the famous bumper sticker, "How am I driving?  Call
1-800-EAT-S--T".  :)

Companies could still call their numbers 1-800, and they would still
work, but the "technical" number being assigned to callers in 1-800
would actually be 1-880.

Give this a very-long overlay, to allow those who have spent money on
advertising, brand recognition, stationery, to allow them to change
over as new advertising and other such materials are made.  Make it,
say, ten years, e.g. until December 31, 2005.  After January 1, 2006,
the 800 code would be removed from service, possibly being used for
something else after some period of time, maybe around 2008, e.g.
after two years of nonuse.

This concept of a single large range of numbers, e.g. "88 plus 8,"
would simplify the toll-free dialing system since ALL toll-free
numbers[1] in World Zone 1 would be under a single set of codes, i.e.
88 plus a single digit from 0 to 9 and the seven-digit number.  This
would also eliminate the problem of companies despirately wanting to
duplicate their number in the new 888 space which is coming up.
Because now, they would have to duplicate it in all TEN 88
"supercodes" (a new name I've coined to refer to a block of ten
consecutive area codes all beginning with the same two digits.)

This would provide advantages, such as allowing an organization to
give out an eight-letter toll free number, or a ten letter one if the
term they want to use begins with TU-, TV-, UT-, or VU-.  Or they can
still do something similar to what they are doing now:

    "Do you buy diskettes?  Check our lowest prices.  Dial toll-free
     1-88-DISKETTE!  Additionally, do you have a problem and need 
     ideas to solve it?  Call 1880-TDARCOS.  From older exchanges dial
     1-800-TDARCOS, all numbers toll free from anywhere in North 
America!"

    "Do you want to know what's on television?  Subscribe to TV Listings 
now!
     Call Toll Free 1-TV-SHOWS-4U for our money saving offer!  Fifty-six 
     issues, in twelve easy installments of ten dollars, that's only 
half 
     of three times the cover price!  Call Now!" 

    "You're stuck in a supermarket checkout stand when suddenly you 
     realize you have no cash.  What will you do?  What will you do?  
Then
     you remember that your market takes the 'Get InDebt and stay till 
you
     die card,'  If you don't have it, get it before it gets you.  Dial
     1-88-2-GET-IN-DEBT for a $10 discount off the usual $20 price for 
our
     free application.  Don't go anywhere unless you Get InDebt first!"

As it is clear, it adds a huge range of new numbers that interexchange
companies can now sell to customers, it creates a single, unified
supercode for assigning ALL transnational toll-free numbers within the
U.S., Canada and the other 1809 countries in the North America dialing
area. 

In fact, this idea is so simple, so clean a design and so lacking of any
serious problems in implementing it that I am absolutely certain that it
will never be done!  It's too bad it's not difficult, hard to install,
causes major problems to everyone, and is a pain in the derriere to
implement.  Then I know it would become {standard} almost before you can
blink!

Among Other things, we sell and service ideas.  Call 1-800-TDARCOS from 
anywhere in North America if you are interested in buying an idea to 
solve 
one of your problems.  From Australia, dial the international dialing 
prefix, then 1-880-TDARCOS.  :)

Footnotes:

[1] The "Enterprise" and "Zenith" pseudo-exchanges are still
grandfathered for current customers for local toll-free extended area
calls, and the exchange 950 in each area code is reserved for
connection to a Feature-Group circuit of either a long-distance
company or a customer wanting FG service as a form of Intra-LATA
toll-free calling.  I do not refer to these as "national" since they
have to be set up specially in each LATA that they are to be enabled.
Also, the 950 exchange is not accessible in a few areas of the country
which have older equipment.

Australia is undergoing a nationwide change to standard eight-digit
local numbers and single digit (minus the initial 0) 'super' areacodes. 
Many locations are having to undergo a two (or even three) stage
change of local numbers -- with the intermediary stages being that the
first few digits of their current length telephone number are changed,
and the final change being that the latter digits of their former
areacode are tacked onto the front of their current length number.
Except for the major cities, all other locations in Australia are
going to have *new* single-digit 'super' areacodes (minus the initial 
0).

There are some reference documents at the website (and ftp sites) of 
Australia's TELSTRA (formerly Telecom-Australia) and AUSTEL (the 
government's regulatory agency which has taken over the numbering 
administration from Telecom-Australia).

SEE:
http://www.telstra.com.au/press/info/8-digits/8-digits.htm
for Geoff Dyer's (u7910169@keystone.arch.unsw.edu.au) condensed 
description 
of the numbering changes. One of his sources was from a large AUSTEL 
document giving more details on the numbering plan changes.

This document can be downloaded from:
ftp://ftp.austel.gov.au/pub/reports/numplan.word.zip
It is a PKZIP-compressed of 22 individual MS-Word 6.0c formatted 
documents. 
The individual 22 filenames when 'unzipped' will in alphabetical order, 
but 
the contents.doc file should help to be a guide to the order of the 
files. 
(There is NO readme.txt file, unfortunately). There are some graphics in 
these files which can only be viewed/printed in MW-Word 6.0c or better, 
but 
the text should be viewable/printable in MW-Word 6.0 (or maybe even 
less). 
This document is dated June 1995, and is the second edition of the new 
Austalian Numbering Plan. The first edition was April 1993.

I have an 1A2 system with several "single line" phones attached to it.
The 1A2 is strapped with common ringing (provided by a separate ring
generator.  Problem is that if someone answers on a non-key phone
(i.e. a regular off the shelf store bought phone that has been added
w/a single line adapter), the system continues to ring all other
phones for about ten seconds. (I believe that is the standard timeout
for the 400E KTU cards that are in the system.) I remember years ago
seeing a device that you could plug a normal phone into and it would
sense it off hook and satsify the A/A1 connection and make the ktu see
that line as in use. This would be great as it would (1) stop lines
from ringing another ten seconds and (2) actually light the line up in
use.

Any helpful advice would be appreciated. I hope this message makes
sense as I am an amatuer at "antique systems" but still enjoy making
them work.


[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: Use the second (normally unused) pair 
in the 'regular phone' to short the A/A1 line. Wire them through a
relay in the 'regular phone' which would close on the phone going off
hook. You will find a spare set of contacts in the phone for that
purpose. When you provide the A/A1 supervision you will get what you
want.   PAT]

It's unfortunately much more complex than this.  The dispute went to
arbitration, where a ruling was made.  Strangely, both parties now
claim to have won completely.  I've never seen two interrpretations of
any legal document that are so different.

There are actually two batches of patents involved in the suit, some
from work done at MIT and some from Stanford.  The MIT patents cover
the RSA cryptosystem (a public key encrytion technique discovered by
the founders of RSA Data Security, or RSADSI, which is a company),
while the Stanford patents include Diffie-Hellman exponential key
exchange and the original idea of public key cryptography.  There are
other ways to do public key cryptography besides RSA, though RSA is
simpler and more popular than the other techniques.  The Stanford
patents, however, appear to cover the whold field of public key
cryptography.

Before this recent ruling, all the patents were controlled by Public
Key Partners (PKP), which was run by Jim Bidzos.  PKP was a
partnership including Stanford, MIT, Cylink, and RSADSI and was run by
Jim Bidzos, president of RSADSI.  Cylink wanted to use and license the
patents on its own, but was blocked by PKP, which started the whole
mess.

RSADSI has been selling toolkits that let people use technologies
covered in the Stanford patents, and Cylink now claims that RSADSI
didn't have rights to do this.  Cylink has reportedly threatened to
charge RSADSI's customers $50,000 each for using patents that weren't


                                                                                                                

licensed correctly.  RSA has now taken to claiming that the Stanford
patents are invalid, to prevent Cylink from harrassing their
customers.  I think RSA is probably right here, since the Stanford
patents weren't filed properly.  (For example, they were submitted
more than a year after the publication of the techniques they cover.)

Meanwhile Cylink wants to be able to use the RSA cryptosystem without
paying royalties to RSADSI, so they seem to now be claiming that the
MIT patents are invalid!  These patents actually seem fairly strong to
me, so I don't think this claim would be likely to make it very far.

Hopefully we'll know more soon about the situation.  The outcome will
have a big impact on the ability of companies to make and sell
products using cryptography in the USA.  Anything from encrypted
encrypted telephones to secure e-mail to Internet commerce need public
key technologies, so the outcome of the lawyering is quite important.
Currently the patent licensing situation is a huge expensive mess for
anyone trying to bring a product to market, and I'm hopeful that as a
result of all this we'll soon have non-patented ways of doing public
key cryptography.

The details (as described by Netscape) can be found at:-

Basically their random number generator (used to generate the encryption 
keys) in insufficiently random.  Thus the keys are reasonably easy to 
guess and hence break.

Bonjour,

Since September 1st, you can access the French Forum (GO FRFORUM) on
CompuServe services. The success will be so great that the French
Paris' accesses was down during a complete night: too many people in
the same forum. More than 4,500 daily users visit this French forum to
find French up-to-date conversations on French subject of interest.

Don't hesitate to visit this uncredible forum.

Help!!! I need some help with the configuration of the Rolm 9751
models.  I have been told the model 30E is capable of growing to 384
ports. Is that true?

Is it still non-blocking? 

They are telling me that I may need to upgrade to a model 30EX. What is 
that and why would I need to upgrade?

My company is thinking about networking our offices together and we want 
to use the Coronet software. Does anyone use this stuff? Are the 
features 
truely transparent across the network?

Can anyone tell me about the data features of the PBX? I want to send
data thru the telephone but I believe the only options the Rolm offers
is async. Is that true? I was told the highest speeds they handle is
19.2K.

If you have any information on the 9751 product I need your help. Please 
post a follow up.


Thanks in advance,

Brian

HERE IT IS:  ABSOLUTELY FREE

Spam as many groups as you want with one command.  Can post same
message to 14,000 groups in just a few hours.

Must have UNIX shell account, the attached script, and create two
ascii text files called groups.txt and message.txt.  The file
groups.txt should contain a list of all groups you want to spam, one
per line. If you want to hit everything, you can just copy your
newsrc file, but you'll have to remove all index numbers and end of
line punctuation.  The message.txt file is the actual message you want
to spam.  It must contain the subject header on the first line, ie:

You may add in other headers, such as Organization, Paths, Reply to,
etc, but none are required.  Do NOT put in a newsgroup header.  The
script does that automatically.  There must be a blank line between
the last header and the start of the actual message.

Then, download those two files plus the following script (call it
spamming.fun) to your home directory on the Unix shell account, type
"perl spamming.fun", and sit back to watch the fireworks.


      -----------------------Cut Here--------------------
#!perl
#Assumes both Perl and Inews are accessible through
#your home directory.  If not, either place them in your path
#or adjust the script.
#You must also have a ascii text file called groups.txt, which
#contains a list of each group you want to spam.  One to a line.
#No punctuation at end of line.
#Your spam message must be called message.txt, and it should
#be in ascii.  The first line must be your subject header:
# You may add in other headers if you wish, but there must be a
#blank line before your actual message begins.
#run program by typing "perl spam.pl.
#
#
#!perl
print "Running...\n";
$newsrc =
"$ENV{'HOME'}/testgrps.txt";
open(GROUPS, "$newsrc");
while($group=<GROUPS>)
  {print "Posting to: $group";
 open(NEWS,"|inews -h"); 
 open(MESSAGE, "message.txt"); 
while($line=<MESSAGE>) {
print NEWS $line;
 }
 close NEWS; 
if($?==0) { $success++ } 
else { $fail++
}}$total = $success + $fail;print "Tried to post to $total
groups.\n$success OK, $fail failed.\n";

[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: Just a couple notes that the author did
not mention. If your groups file includes the names of moderated groups
then attempts to post to them will of necessity fail, with your message
going instead to the moderator's mailbox. You can eliminate this 
'problem'
by the addition of a line in the header, but I am not going to tell you
which one, or what it says. Also, you should be aware that running this
script will bring *lots* of attention to your site, and your postmaster/
sysadmin/news person may be busy for several days afterward cleaning 
up the mess and responding to hate messages sent threatening to kill
him and you. In turn, he may in the worst case scenario try to hurt you,
and in the best case scenario, simply cancel your account.  People who
respond back to you -- probably several thousand users -- will not wish
you Happy New Year 5756, and they will probably set up a script of their
own to send your spam back to you many times over with their compliments
for your thoughtful gesture.   PAT]
