take over P.H.I.R.M., which is Blade Runner's group). As a retaliatory strike
and after hearing this slander upon Videosmith's name, Blade Runner started
telling people that Sir Gamelord was Videosmith. The stories have been getting
more and more exaggerated since then but that is all that really happened.

The Cracker Disappears December 27, 1986
----------------------
The rumors and stories are flying around about the disappearance of one
Bill Landreth aka The Cracker.
Bill Landreth is the author of "Out Of The Inner Circle," a book on hackers
that was published a few years back.
According to newspaper articles in the San Francisco area, Bill was at a
friend's home working on some computer program. His friend stepped out for a
while and when he returned, there was a lot of garbage on screen and a suicide
message.
On Ripco BBS, message was posted about Bill Landreth, stating that he had
disappeared, and was once again wanted by the FBI. The message asked that
anyone in contact with Bill would tell him to contact his "friends."
Most of what is going on right now is bogus rumors. There may be a follow up
story in the next PWN.

U.S. Sprint Screws Up December 24, 1986
---------------------
Taken From the Fort Lauderdale Sun Sentinal
"He got a 1,400 page bill!"
In Montrose, Colorado, Brad Switzer said he thought the box from the U.S.
Sprint Long Distance Company was an early Christmas present until he opened it
and found that it contained a 1,400 page phone bill.
The $34,000 bill was delivered to Switzer's doorstep Monday. He called U.S.
Sprint's Denver office, where company officials assured him he was "Off the
Hook." A spokesman for U.S. Sprint said that Switzer had mistakenly received
U.S. Sprint's own phone bill for long distance calls.

This issue, I was a bit more reliable about getting the issue out (yes, only 3

you would have a file in this issue, get in contact with me so that it will be

BUSY LINE VERIFICATION
WRITTEN BY PHANTOM PHREAKER
This file describes how a TSPS operator does a BLV (Busy Line
Verification) and an EMER INT (Emergency Interrupt) upon a busy line that a
customer has requested to be 'broken' into. I have written this file to
hopefully clear up all the misconceptions about Busy Line Verification and
Emergency Interrupts.
