message all he needs to do is call the number enter a certain code and he can |
hear his messages, transfer them, and do other misc. mailbox utilities. |
Most VMSs are similar in the way they work. There are a few different ways |
the VMSs store the voice. One way is that the voice is recorded digitally and |
compressed and when heard it is reproduced back into the voice that recorded |
it. Another method that is slower and uses more space, but costs less, stores |
the voice on magnetic tape, the same type that is used to store data on a |
computer, and then runs the tape at a slow speed. Using this method the voice |
does not need to be reproduced in any way and will sound normal as long as the |
tape is running at a constant speed. On some of the newer VMSs the voice is |
digitally recorded and is transformed from the magnetic tape at about 2400 |
bits per second. |
There are many different types and versions of voice mail systems. Some of |
the best and easiest to get on will be discussed. |
Centagram |
--------- |
These are direct dial (you don't have to enter a box number). To get on one |
of these, first have a number to any box on the system. All of the other |
boxes will be on the same prefix; just start scanning them until you find one |
that has a message saying that person you are calling is not available. This |
usually means that the box has not been assigned to anybody yet. Before the |
nice lady's voice tells you to leave the message, hit #. You will then be |
prompted for your password. The password will usually be the same as the last |
four digits of the box's number or a simple number like 1000, 2000, etc. Once |
you get on, they are very user friendly and will prompt you with a menu of |
options. If you can't find any empty boxes or want to do more, you can hack |
but the system administrators box, which will usually be 9999 on the same |
prefix as the other boxes, will allow you to hear anybody's messages and |
create and delete boxes. |
Sperry Link |
----------- |
These systems are very nice. They will usually be found on an 800 number. |
These are one of the hardest to get a box on because you must hack out a user |
ID (different from the person's box number) and a password. When it answers, |
if it says, "This is a Sperry Link voice station. Please enter your user ID," |
you will have to start trying to find a valid user ID. On most Sperrys it |
will be a five digit number. If it answers and says, "This is an X answering |
service," you first have to hit *# to get the user number prompt. Once you |
get a valid user number will have to guess the password on most systems, it |
will be 4 digits. Once you get in, these are also very user friendly and have |
many different options available. |
RSVP |
---- |
This is probably one of the worst VMSs but it is by far the easiest to get |
yourself a box. When it answers you can hit * for a directory of the boxes on |
it (it will only hold 23). If you hit # you will be given a menu of options |
and when you choose an option you will then be prompted for your ID number. |
The ID number on an RSVP system will just about always be the same as the |
mailbox number, which are always only 2 digits. |
A.S.P.E.N. |
---------- |
The Aspen voice message systems made by Octel Telecommunications is in my |
opinion the BEST VMS made. To get a box on an Aspen, you need to find an |
empty box. To find an empty box, scan the box numbers and if one says, "You |
entered XXXX. Please leave a message at the tone," then this is an empty box. |
You next just press # and when prompted for your box number enter the number |
of the empty box and friendly voice of the nice lady will guide you through |
all of the steps of setting up your box. She first tells you what you can do |
with the box and then will prompt you with, "Please enter the temporary |
password assigned to you by your system manager." This password will usually |
be 4 digits long and the same as the box number like 1000, etc. Once you get |
on their are many things you can do. You can make a distribution list where |
if you want to leave a certain message to more than one person, you can enter |
the list number and all of the boxes on the list will get the message. You can |
also have the system call you and notify you that you have new messages. These |
systems also have what they call "Information center mailboxes" that are |
listen only and can also have a password on them so the person calling has to |
enter the password before he hears the greeting message. Aspen VMSs have a |
system managers mailbox that will just about give you total control of the |
whole system and let you listen to people's mail, create and delete boxes, and |
many other things. |

Prologue: |
Well, it's been awhile since I've done one of my activities files. This time |
I've switched from chemistry to electronics. Hopefully, I will be writing |
more files similar to this one. Also, I have devised a more sophisticated |
encryption device, which I may release in the future |
