Present: PBX's (Private Branch Exchanges) Local and WATS Because of the danger of using a blue box, many phreakers have turned to MCI, sprint, and other SCC's in order to get free calls. However, these services are getting more and more dangerous, and even the relatively safe ones like metrofone and all-net are beginning to trace and bust people who fraudulantly use their services. However, (luckily), there is another, safer way. This is the local and WATS PBX. If you have a modem or interface for your computer capable of tone dial- ing, you can find and make good use of a great many of these "useful" numbers. If you don't have the hardware, it is still possible, although it would be a VERY tedious process. The PBX, or private branch exchange, is a private switchboard set up in office buildings, hotels, etc. It allows people within the PBX to dial other exchanges directly, to place out- going calls (what we're interested in), and sometimes to transmit their voice ver the intercom system (lots of PHUN!) There will at least 1 line going out of the PBX to the telco set up for outgoing calls only, and there will also be at least one incoming line to the switchboard. This is what we are interested in. Some of the incoming lines are always answered by the switchboard operator, but some will be answered by the PBX equipmemt. It will usually answer with a dialtone, the tone will sound different for different systems. Some even answer with a synthesized voice! (These are very hard to find, though.) The ones which answer with a dialtone are easy to find if you have a modem or hardware device which can "hear" what's going on on the phone line. To find these fun thingies, you will have to write a scanner program which will dial each number in a pre- fix, either sequentially or in a random order, it really doesn't matter, and "listen" on the line for a constant sound longer than the normal length of a ring. This could be done manually but it would take a hell of a long time. Whenever the program finds a number that makes a constant tone longer than a ring, it should record the number in an array or something. Now, this number can be one of a few things. A noisy answering machine, a sprint, MCI, etc access node, a person who yells in the fone, the tone side of a loop (nice), possibly a carrier if your modem can "hear" tones that high, or, hopefully, a PBX line. All your scanning should be done between 6 PM and 7 AM because between 7 AM and 6 PM, many of these numbers will be answered by the switchboard operator. When you are checking out your results the next day and come accross a dialtone, enter some touch-tone (TM) digits. Depending on which type of PBX equipment and the length of the codes, after 3-8 digits it should either give a busy signal, a "reeler tone" (high-low tone), or hang up on you, or possibly tell you you entered a bad code. Now it is time to write a hacker for this PBX. If the codes are 3 or 4 digits, there will most likely only be one code, but if they are 5 or more digits there may be more than one. If there are 3 or 4, your hacker should dial the access number, wait for a dialtone, then dial the digits and wait for a second, then dial a "1" (the reason for this will be explained shortly), and then "listen" for a dialtone. This would be a hacker for a system that gives a reeler tone, listening for the dial- tone and hearing it would really mean the presence of the reeler tone and mean that a bad code had been entered. The reason 1 is entered is to "quiet" the dialtone" If it was a good code, 1XX or 1XXX will be valid extentions on practically all PBX's. If your system gives a re-order or hangs up after a bad code, forget the one and just listen for a dialtone, this will be a good code. If there are 3 or 4 digits, they should be tried sequen- tiallly (becuase there will probably only be one good one), if there are more, take your pick between random and sequental. Now, when you (finally!!) get a good code, you will call the number and enter the code and be confronted with a second dialtone. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME DIALTONE THAT ANYONE WHO PICKS UP A PHONE IN THAT PBX SYSTEM GETS. The reason this is important is because if they want to make an out- going call, they will usually pick up the fone and dial 8, 9, or sometimes 7, and get another dialtone and then make their call, local or long distance. And you can do the same thing right now! These numbers also make a good tool to avoid being traced on telenet, etc, it will just be traced back to the company which owns the PBX. Now for some phun with the PBX you have just broken into to. You can dial all extentions directly on it (which is what local PBX'S are primarially used for legitimately, unless the com- pany has OUTWATS lines.) The most phun extention of all is the PA system. On some of these, you can get on the PA (intercom) and actutually talk over it from your house! It can be on almost any extention though, so you may have to hunt for it. On some, 797 or 1234 used to work, but those have mostly been eliminated, not due to phreakers but because people inside the company were figuring them out and using them! Some PBX's don't even have security codes, you can just call up and dial 9 and call wherever you want. On a few that I know of you enter the number and then the code. If you want to know what these systems "sound" like, there are files on this and other systems with long lists of WATS PBX numbers. The local ones are much safer to hack though because you are not making a whole bunch of 800 calls which tends to get bell very pissed. Also, I have actually found modems and other wierd things on some exchanges of PBX's, it might be worthwhile to scan the numbers inside the PBX once to see what you find. An important safety note: if you heavily abuse a PBX and make many outgoing calls on it, after a few weeks (or whenever their fone bill shows up!) it is a good idea to lay off of it for a couple of months or so because they could get a trace on it easilly, just like 800's. They will usually just change the code, though. One more interesing note, I once found a PBX which had a direct link- up to sprint! So by dialing 8 I got a line to sprint, no access codes, just area code and number. It's phun to phuck up sprint and have them not know who the hell you are or where the hell you are!!

It may be recalled that such a system was the specific end in view when the project that had culminated in the invention of the transistor had been launched back in the 1930s. After successful accomplishment of that planned miracle in 1947-48, further delays were brought about by financial stringency and the need for further development of the transistor itself. In the early 1950s, a Labs team began serious work on electronic swithcing. As early as 1955, Western Electric became involved when five engineers from the Hawthorne works were assigned to collaborate with the Labs on the project. The president of AT&T in 1956, wrote confidently, "At Bell Labs, developement of the new electronic switching system is going full speed ahead. We are sure this will lead to many improvements in service and also to greater efficiency. The first service trial will start in Morris, Ill., in 1959." Shortly thereafter, Kappel said that the cost of the whole project would probably be $45 million. But it gradually became apparent that the developement of a commercially usable electronic switching system - in effect, a computerized telephone exchange - presented vastly greater technical problems than had been anticipated, and that, accordingly, Bell Labs had vastly underestimated both the time and the investment needed to do the job. The year 1959 passed without the promised first trial at Morris, Illinois; it was finally made in November 1960, and quickly showed how much more work remained to be done. As time dragged on and costs mounted, there was a concern at AT&T and some- thing approaching panic at Bell Labs. But the project had to go forward; by this time the investment was too great to be sacrificed, and in any case, forward projections of increased demand for telephone service indicated that within a phew years a time would come when, without the quantum leap in speed and flexibility thaty electronic switching would provide, the national network would be unable to meet the demand. In November 1963, an all-electronic switching system went into use at the Brown Engineering Company at Cocoa Beach, Florida. But this was a small installation, essentially another test installation, serving only a single company. Kappel's tone on the subject in the 1964 annual report was, for him, an almost apologetic: "Electronic switching equipment must be manufactured in volume to unprecedented standards of reliability.... To turn out the equipment economically and with good speed, mass production methods must be developed; but, at the same time, there can be no loss of precision..." Another year and millions of dollars later, on May 30, 1965, the first commercial electric centeral office was put into service at Succasunna, New Jersey. Even at Succasunna, only 200 of the town's 4,300 subscribers initially had the benefit of electronic switching's added speed and additional services, such as provision for three party conversations and automatic transfer of incoming calls. But after that, ESS was on its way. In January 1966, the second commercial installation, this one serving 2,900 telephones, went into service in Chase, Maryland. By the end of 1967 there were additional ESS offices in California, Connecticut, Minnesota, Georgia, New York, Florida, and Pennsylvania; by the end of 1970 there were 120 offices serving 1.8 million customers; and by 1974 there were 475 offices serving 5.6 million customers. The difference between conventional switching and electronic switching is the difference between "hardware" and "software"; in the former case, maintenence is done on the spot, with screwdriver and pliers, while in the case of electronic switching, it can be done remotely, by computer, from a centeral point, making it possible to have only one or two technicians on duty at a time at each switching center. The development program, when the final figures were added up, was found to have required a staggering four thousand man-years of work at Bell Labs and to have cost not $45 million but $500 million!
