PASSWORD = Request for your assigned password.

? Network doesn't understand your entry.
Type B User Commands and Messages
Since the Type B procedure is used with GTN dial-ups, it requires fewer
commands to control the network. There is only 1 Type B command. Break plus
(CR) allows you to retain connection to one service, and connect with another.
Screen Shows: Explanation:
CITICORP (CITY NAME). Network Welcome banner. Type in service address.
PLEASE SELECT SERVICE
COM Connection made.
DER The port is closed out of order, or no open routes are
available.
DISCONNECTED You have disconnected from the service and the network.
ERR Error in service selected.
INV Error in system.
MOM Wait, the connection is being made.
NA Not authorized for this service.
NC Circuits busy, try again.
NP Check service address.
OCC Service busy, try again.
Sign-on Procedures:
There are two types of sign on procedures. Type A and Type B.
Type A:
To log onto a system with type A logon procedure, the easiest way is through
Telenet. Dial your local Telenet port. When you receive the "@" prompt, type
in the Type-A service address (found later in the article) then follow the
instructions from there on.
Type-B:
Dial the your GTN telephone #, then hit return twice. You will then see:
"PLEASE ENTER YOUR ID:-1->"
Type in a network ID number and hit return.
You will then see
"PLEASE ENTER YOUR PASSWORD:-2->"
Type in Network Password and hit return.
Finally you will see the "CITICORP (city name)" welcome banner, and it
will ask you to select the service you wish to log onto. Type the address and
hit return. (A list of addresses will be provided later)
Trouble Shooting:
If you should run into any problems, the Citicorp personnel will gladly
help their "employees" with any questions. Just pretend you work for Citibank
and they will give you a lot. This has been tried and tested. Many times,
when you attempt to log on to a system and you make a mistake with the
password, the system will give you a number to call for help. Call it and
tell them that you forgot your pass or something. It usually works, since
they don't expect people to be lying to them. If you have any questions about
the network itself, call 305-975-5223. It is the Technical Operations Center
(TOC) in Pompano, Florida.
Dial-Ups:
The following list of dial-ups is for North America. I have a list of
others, but I don't think that they would be required by anyone. Remember:
Dial-ups require Type-B log-on procedure. Type-A is available on systems
accessible through Telenet.
Canada Toronto 416-947-2992 (1200 Baud V.22 Modem Standard)
U.S.A. Los Angeles 213-629-4025 (300/1200 Baud U.S.A. Modem Standard)
Jersey City 201-798-8500
New York City 212-269-1274

Service Addresses:
The following is a VERY short list of just some of the 100's of service
addresses. In a later issue I will publish a complete list.
