Between New Egypt and the rest of Ocean County stands the Pinelands, a
huge wooded area populated mainly by squirrels and an occasional dead
racketeer.  The only local calls from New Egypt are northward and
westward to Bordentown, Fort Dix, and Pemberton in Burlington County,
and Allentown in Monmouth County.  I doubt that any trunks run through
the forest.  If there's any emergency phone service in the forest,
it's probably provided by running lines from the Pemberton C.O.  I
have a map of local calling areas in 609, written in "pic", which
anybody may have by writing to me.  (I will translate it to PostScript
on request.)  It shows a big hole in an otherwise cohesive network.

As for sparse LATAs, you ought to check Texas.  Doesn't Texas boast
the least populous county in the U.S.?

     I just saw it at Rat-shack yesterday, it was listed at $21.95,

The tone you hear during an EBS test is more than just an attention
signal. It is a precise signal that can be used to set off decoders
listening to a broadcasters audio.

The tone is specified in the FCC rules (47 CFR 73.906) as 853 Hz + 960
Hz for 20-25 sec. The signal must be transmitted at 40% of the maximum
system level.  This signal can be used for decoders at broadcast
stations so that secondary broadcast stations can decode the EBS
messages of higher power primary broadcasters.

Ok, I have my own short story about French Telecom and intercepts.

First, when you call a number from a pay phone, you have to endure a
45-second advertisement for French Telecom, how wonderful.  When
you're trying to get through to a busy number and it takes one minute
just to dial and get a ring (I timed it), this is NOT acceptable.
Paying for a service and then getting hit with an ad that makes the
service basically an order of magnitude slower really infuriated me.

Second, about an intercept.  We were trying to dial Paris from the
French countryside.  Dialing 16 is necessary, but we didn't know.  So
for half an hour we kept trying the Paris city code (1) because each
time we called (after enduring the ad) the phone gave just the busy
signal.  No voice, not reorder, just the exact same signal you get for
a genuine busy.  Cute, huh?  I'll take the German "boring and to the
point" anytime.

I am moderately happy with Cable and Wireless.  I got them entirely
for use as a calling card carrier, since they don't have a CC
surcharge, although the rates for such calls are higher.  I dunno if
the savings really worked out, although I THINK it did.

Here are some side comments:

1.  They slammed both my lines even though I never asked them too.
Nonetheless, it could have been an honest mistake, and Pacific Bell
has charged the switching charges back to them.

2.  Call setup time is longer than AT&T.

3.  No complaints about circuit quality for either voice or data use.

4.  Direct dial rates seem higher than AT&T. by a few cents per minute.

5.  They don't seem to be charging me the $5/month.

I wonder what Audiovox does about the "access overload class,"
"Systems Station class mark," and "Systems group ID mark" fields that
are normally part of a NAM?  These fields are normally programmed by
the dealer when a phone is put on service.

The Station Class Mark depends on the phone, not the system, and will
normally be the same for every NAM in a given phone.  SCM sets the max
number of channels (666 vs. 832), max power (.6, 1.2, 3), and VOX
enable (which you can always turn off if you don't know whether the
system supports it or not).

The Group ID Mark gives the significant bit mask for the system id.
If you set it too big, your phone will think it's home when it's
really roaming, and if you set it too small, it will be the other way
around.  I'm not sure what the results will be in actual use if you
set it wrong but it's probably not catastrophic.

The Access Overload Class is assigned by the service provider.  I
think you can just pick one at random and your phone will still work,
although the provider may not be happy (if the provider even
understands what this is for, which is not likely).

I would also be concerned about setting the MIN Mark and the local use
bit correctly.

The limits on user NAM programming are a crock designed to protect
lazy cell service providers.  A cell system should never give service
to a phone it doesn't know, and ESNs should never be sent in the clear
over the air.  Rather than implement real security, the cellular
industry tries to legislate the problem away, then bills the
legitimate users for losses due to abuse.  They've taken the same
morally bankrupt approach to eavesdropping.  Rather than provide a
secure channel, they lobby for laws making it illegal to listen.
They're trying to shirk their responsibilities as common carriers
rather than solve the problem.

Michigan Bell has joined the mad rush to provide "information
services" (subsidized by local rate payers) by announcing a
shop-at-home service.  You pay $12 a month and get a phone with an
attached bar code reader and credit card reader, and a separate paper
catalog of things you can buy.  You make a phone call, swipe the bar
codes of the things you want to buy, swipe your credit card, and the
items are delivered to your door.  They have an agreement with Kroger
(big local food supermarket chain) and are working on others.  It also
lets you pay bills.

Seems pretty low-tech to me, with the data base on paper and the
requirement to physically insert a credit card into the machine, but
the local newspapers seem to think it's hot.

I think I'd rather save the $12 and do my shopping in person, but I'm
sure someone will find this useful.

The Diskfax is a remote disk duplicating system, using an integral
modem and proprietary protocol.  The idea is that you can "transmit"
the contents of a floppy to another similar machine, somewhere else,
without human intervention where it is "printed out" on a blank
floppy. In other words it does for disks what fax machines do for
documents.  Hence the name.

It does work, but is not cheap (close to $1000) and not many were
sold. There are therefore few places that you can "fax" disks to,
which is probably why so few were sold.  Most people that bought them,
did so for use to/from a specific partner machine, rather than for
general use.

Actually, its easier than that.  The Easa-phone is line powered, and
Panasonic admits that if there are other things on the line, the line
powering may not be enough, which is why there is an AC adapter jack
on the back of the phone.  They recommend running the phone off the AC
adapter to avoid just those problems.

Easa-phones, especially the older ones, are very marginal on being
line powered, they draw just a bit too much power.

First Night Toronto is looking for a multi-line telephone system, with
capability to work with ten or more lines. The intent is to have the
system in place to field inquiries and various calls.

It appears that what they would be looking for is something of a call
distributor type system, more than an extension-based system per se
(although they may want separate lines for separate departments or
desks). I don't know if they want to go the full "on-hold" or "press 1
for this, press 2 for that, press 0 for actual civilisation", etc, but
variable numbers of volunteers to field calls can be expected.

By way of introduction, First Night is a New Years Eve community
celebration whose main emphasis is the lack of alcohol. It started in
Boston years ago and became a huge success in other cities, and now
Toronto (the first Toronto First Night was held last New Years Eve).
Much of the event depends on corporate donations and the like, and if
anyone out there should know of some lonely inbound call equipment
(used and usable should be okay), or would like more information on
what exactly is needed, or on anything else above, please call First
Night Toronto at +1 416 362.3692 (voice). Do not post to the Digest;
direct inquiries to First Night are preferred; contact me via net mail
as a secondary resort (they don't have e-mail ... yet.)

This is no longer the case in North Carolina.  Sometime within the

North Carolina" to "Price will be higher without activation.

The lowest price for a bag phone with strings attached I've seen is
$58.  Just for amusement I inquired at Radio Shack and was shown a
copy of the contract with Centel.  There were about five different
plans trading off monthly flat rate for the first X minutes with cost
per additional minute.  Prices did not seem outrageous if you have a

Delphi began allowing incoming telnet connections (to delphi.com)

heard talk about possibly moving to a $2.00/hour (at any time)
surcharge for telnet, but that had not yet been decided upon (since
they were still doing a lot of testing with the gateway and
everything).  I haven't been on Delphi since that time (four weeks
ago), so I don't know any more than that.

I just heard of a new service called "ContactLine" that BAMS (Bell
Atlantic Mobile Systems) will introduce on September 24.  Apparently
this service is based on an Accessplus product-Accessline.  There have
been several trials in the Baltimore/Washington area this summer
(BAMS) and in the Seattle area (McCaw Cellular).

Brief description of the service:

 -Assigns users a single telephone number (eliminating the need for
multiple numbers like for car, home, office).

 -Remote call forwarding provided to the subscriber. Also there is a
possibility of the subscriber controlling the schedule of call
forwarding; ie. in business hours the calls will be forwarded to the
office while at night the calls will be forwarded to the home.

 Has anyone out there tried this service?

Did anyone receive any promotional material from BAMS about the
upcoming service implementation?

Please e-mail me directly at sharonk@bnr.ca. 


Thanks.
