PART I: Introduction 

       This is a file typed up for beginners on PBXing. 
If you know anything about PBX's at all this file will do 
you no good at all. It is very basic. Hope this helps some 
of you beginners. Now, on with the Gfile. 

------------------------------------------------------------- 

PART II: What are PBX's? 

       PBX's are telephone systems set up by very large 
corporations to make long distance (LD) phone calls for free. 
I have heard many definitions for PBX's: 
-Public Brand Xchanges 
-Personal Business Xchanges 
-and a few other 
Actually it stands for Private Branch Xchange [Useful to know 
this when you are asked to define abbreviations on those 
info-forms. 

------------------------------------------------------------- 

PART III: How do PBX's Work? 

       You should be familiar with 1-800 dialups already 
[1-800-xxx-xxxx]. If not get a gfile called "Phreaking - For 
the Beginners." These 1-800 allow dialups form mainly 
anywhere in the United States. But, not in some Foreign 
countries. It depends on what WATS line Company you are 
using. WATS [Wide Area Telephone Service] Lines are offered 
by AT&T at a rate of around $2000 dollars a month, which 
allows and unlimited amount of phone calls to that companies 
1-800 number. The PBX works almost the same as a MCI, SPRINT, 
and other LD services work. It uses an INWATS [Inward Wats] 
line t the employees [or phreakers in your case] 
phone charge. Next, you dial the PBX, the computer on the 
other end will pick up the phone automatically and send you a 
tone [Similar to a dial tone]. This is when you enter you 
code. Next, enter the long distance number you wish to call 
[known as the Target Number]. If the code you entered is a 
valid one, the computer will call the number automatically 
and connect you too the BBS you wish to call. If you have a 
friend that moved or just some one you want to chat with that 
lives out of your area code. You can also do this without the 
use of you computer, just do it manually on your receiver.

PART IV: PBX's of The Past 

       A few years ago, PBX's were constructed without codes 
All you would have to do was call up the PBX [1-800-xxx-xxxx] 
and enter the number you wished to call. But then, Companies 
soon found out that their phones were being used by other 
people than their employees. So, they decided to add a little 
code to keep these people [Phreakershose were the 
good 'ole days. But it hasn't stopped anybody yet. And they 
never will. 

------------------------------------------------------------- 

PART V: Dialing a PBX. 

       To dial the PBX, get a blank screen on your 
Communication package and type: 

ATDT1800xxxxxxx,,,,,CODE,,Target. 

Each comma tells the computer to pause for two seconds. You 
will have to fool around with a few times to find out the 
pauses. Also, you will have to experiment a little to find 
the length of the code.

PART VI: Conclusion 

         That's all. If you need to get in touch with one of 
the NARC members you can get a hold of them on one of the 
following boards: 
             1.) Nuclear Wasteland [Home of NARC] 
             2.) Balanced pH 
             3.) Critical Condition 
             4.) Lost Souls Domain ][
