department would seek a warrant today charging the suspect with "tampering
with computer users," a felony.
The charge is being sought under a state law enacted last year to deal with
hackers - people who try illegally to tap into other computer systems.
The suspect is Robert Wong, 23, of the 2000 block of Maverick Drive, Maryland
Heights, Missouri. Police tracked down Wong by a court-sanctioned "trap" on
his phone after MCI learned that someone was trying to tap into its
long-distance lines.
In a written statement to police, Wong said he "came across" MCI's programs
and access codes. He said he was "amazed" when he got into the system. "I
know it was illegal, but the urge of experimenting was too great," he told
police.

In upcoming months P-80 will be moved from her ole TRS Model 1 to an IBM PC

undecided), P-80 will be adding a new "user to user" direct file/program
transfer thus allowing the membership the ability to privately send text or
programs directly to another user. There will also be the ability to forward
a message with text/program attached) to another user after receipt. (2/26/87)

Telecommunications giant AT&T is lying in its advertisements that claim it has
an exclusive toll-free number for foreign clients to reach U.S. businesses,
its competitor says in a lawsuit.
Worldwide 800 Services Inc. says that it has filed suit against AT&T with the
FCC, charging AT&T with false advertising. The ads by AT&T claim that it can
provide a global telephone network that would allow clients in foreign
countries to call a toll-free number to reach businesses in the United States.
AT&T claimed that "You won't find this type of service anywhere else."
Worldwide 800 says that their company provides toll-free service from any
foreign city to the U.S., whereas AT&T can only provide toll-free service on a
countrywide basis. An AT&T spokeswoman denied all of the charges, stating
that the advertisement in question was neither fraudulent or deceptive. If
Worldwide 800 Services wins the case, they state that they will demand
corrective advertising and seek monetary damages.

Toll-Free Woes January 26, 1987
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>From Time Magazine; reprinted in the February 1987 Issue of CO Magazine
While Oral Roberts struggles with budgets, fundamentalist preacher Jerry
Falwell faces a different kind of money pinch. The Lynchburg, VA,
televangelist has long used toll-free phone numbers to assist viewers seeking
spiritual help.
For many months Falwell foes, aware that each phone-in cost $1, have purposely
clogged his lines. An Atlantan programmed his computer to dial Falwell every
30 seconds. Before Southern Bell stepped in, the stunt cost Falwell $750,000.
Late last year, the Daily Cardinal student newspaper at the University of
Wisconsin -- Madison ran a column advocating "telephone terrorism" and listed
several targets, including Falwell.
The TV preacher estimates that annoyance calls cost him more than $1 million
last year, not counting lost donations. Falwell, who is considering legal
action, regards the calls as "unlawful activities" that do "injury to the
cause of Christ."
