-------------------------- |
When operators have trouble in handling a call, they can enter trouble |
reports that are technically called 'Operator keyed trouble reports'. These |
cause messages to be printed on the maintenance TTY and on the trouble report |
TTY channel. There are different trouble codes for different things, such as |
trouble with the speech scrambler, trouble in the verification network, or |
trouble in collecting charges from a customer. |
In my area there are 20 such TSPS trouble codes. These are done in MF. |
They are entered with the KP TRBL (Key Pulse Trouble) key followed by a two |
digit trouble code followed by an ST. A trouble code for beeper trouble could |
be entered as KP TRBL+62+ST, and speech scrambler trouble could be KP |
TRBL+89+ST. Some of the other reasons for trouble codes are: Crosstalk, No |
ring, Noisy, can't hear, improper supervision toward the called and calling |
parties, cutoff, positions crossed, coin collecting trouble, third re-order, |
distant operator no answer, echo, data transmission, no answer supervision, ST |
key lit for more than 4 seconds, and others for person-to-person and |
station-to-station completed collect calls. |
Maintenance and traffic measurements |
------------------------------------ |
These reports can be output from a maintenance or engineering and service |
data TTY, daily or hourly. Each daily report contains data for the previous |
day. Some traffic counts are as follows: |
Total Verification attempts, VFY key depressions, VFY key depressions when |
the requested number is out of TSPS range, VFY key depressions in which the |
requested number wasn't verifiable, BLV trunk seizures which pass an |
operational test, and EMER INT attempts. Other traffic counts include the |
measurements for usage of BLV trunks, the amount of time BLV trunks were |
unavailable, and the number of times BLV trunks were seized. |
I hope this file has helped people further understand how the BLV system |
works. If you haven't read part I, get a copy of Phrack Inc. Issue XI and read |
file #10. |
As said earlier, most of this information comes directly from Bell System |
Publications and so it should be viewed as correct. However, if you do find |
any errors then please try to let me know about them so they can be corrected. |

Rebuttal to Phrack Issue 8 and 11 (File 11) |
Written by Scan Man..... |
It has been requested of Taran King (Who doesn't agree with KL on this subj) |
to put this somewhere in the next issue of Phrack (12) for proper |
distribution. Whether he does or not I cannot say. |
Well a number of months have gone by now and I have been written about |
accused of and had rebuttals written for me, all of which were about as clear |
and factual as mud. And that includes the rebuttal that Telecomputist has in |
effect tried to stand with me, and making matters only worse by inaccurate |
information. But then all of this started with inaccurate information from |
PWN, didn't it. KL has resorted to interfering in other peoples lives in order |
to promote his so called news publication. To this I say, if you are going to |
call it news then make it facts. I can buy the Enquirer if I want sensational- |
istic readership boosting and inflated gossip. You do no justice to yourself |
or your publication. I really shouldn't dignify any of this with comment but |
shall as the entire matter has been blown so far out of proportion and since I |
have been phreaking since these kiddies were still messing their diapers I |
feel it a little more than an inconvenience, particularly since these |
gentlemen (and I use the term loosely) can't seem to accomplish anything but |
guesswork and conjecture and have cost me (and my wife and son) a $50,000 job |
so the least I can do is get a few FACTS out. |
First, I was (and I stress was) employed by a company called Telecom |
Management Corporation. Notice the initials of this company (TMC). Telecom |
Mgnt is a management company, and a management company manages other |
companies. Among the companies it manages are 6 TMC Long Distance markets |
(none of which are in Vegas), two of which are in Charleston where I live and |
NY where I worked (up until two snotty nose teenagers (KL & SR) decided to |
stick there nose where didn't belong). At any rate I was hired and paid by |
Miami, lived in Charleston, and worked in NY. And yes with regard to your "he |
must have been quite an asset to them," I was an asset to them. And KL you |
