Notes On Above Networks - |
Some countries may have more than one Packet Switching Network. The ones |
listed are the more significant networks for each country. For example, the |
United States has eleven public Packet Switching Networks, but the four I |
listed are the major ones. |
Several countries may also share one network, as shown above. Each country |
will have equal access to the network using the basic POTS dial-up ports. |
Focus On Telenet - |
Since Telenet is one of the most famous, and highly used PSNs in the United |
States, I thought that informing you of some of the more interesting aspects |
of this network would be beneficial. |
Interconnections With Other Network Types - |
Packet Switched Networks are not the only type of networks which connect a |
large capacity of hosts together. There are also Wide Area Networks, which |
operate on a continuous link basis, rather than a packet switched basis. |
These networks do not use the standardized X.25 protocol, and can only be |
reached by direct dial-ups, or by connecting to a host which has network |
access permissions. The point is, that if you wanted to reach, say, Arpanet |
from Telenet, you would have to have access to a host which is connected to |
both networks. This way, you can connect to the target host computer via |
Telenet, and use the WAN via the target host. |
WANs aren't the only other networks you can access. Also, connections to |
other small, private, interoffice LANs are quite common and quite feasible. |
Connections To International NUAs via NUIs - |
When using an NUI, at the prompt, type 0+DNIC+NUA. After your connection |
is established, proceed to use the system you've reached. |
Private Data Networks - |
Within the large Packet Switched Networks that are accessible to us there |
are also smaller private networks. These networks can sometimes be very |
interesting as they may contain many different systems. A way to identify a |
private network is by looking at the three digit prefix. Most prefixes |
accessible by Telenet are based on area codes. Private networks often have a |
prefix that has nothing to do with any area code. (Ex. 322, 421, 224, 144) |
Those prefixes are not real networks, just examples. |
Inside these private networks, there are often smaller networks which are |
connected with some type of host selector or gateway server. If you find |
something like this, there may be hosts that can be accessed only by this port |
selector/server, and not by the normal prefix. It is best to find out what |
these other addresses translate to, in case you are not able to access the |
server for some reason. That way, you always have a backup method of reaching |
the target system (Usually the addresses that are accessed by a gateway |
server/port selector translate to normal NUAs accessible from your Telenet |
port). |
When exploring a private network, keep in mind that since these networks |
are smaller, they would most likely be watched more closely during business |
hours then say Telenet or Tymnet. Try to keep your scanning and tinkering |
down to a minimum on business hours to avoid any unnecessary trouble. |
Remember, things tend to last longer if you don't abuse the hell out of them. |
Summary - |
I hope this file helped you out a bit, and at least gave you a general idea |
of what PSNs are used for, and some of the advantages of using these networks. |
If you can find something interesting during your explorations of PSNs, or |
Private Data Networks, share it, and spread the knowledge around. Definitely |
exploit what you've found, and use it to your advantage, but don't abuse it. |

I hope you enjoyed my file. Thanks for your time. I should be writing a |
follow up article to this one as soon as I can. Stay safe.. |
