LIKE WE CARE! -- CYB0RG/ASM 2004 Imagine having a security system that steals your customers personal information. Then, imagine using their information for direct marketing without their consent . . . .-----------------------------------------------------------. | | | Introducing BarWatch, the ultimate privacy invading | | and evil marketing system for today's clubs! | | | `-----------------------------------------------------------' BarWatch rakes your customers right to privacy over a cheese grater while we abuse their personal information for huge profits and laugh all the way to the bank! And the best part is the customers are too stupid to care! BarWatch – We take your personal information without your permission. BarWatch – We lie about what we do with your personal information. BarWatch – We give out your personal information without your consent. BarWatch – We help the Police keep tabs on you. BarWatch – We break the law and the Police support it. WHAT IS GOING ON? Friday June 4, 2004. The doorman at the bar asked for my ID. I'm clearly over 18, but whatever. The guy grabs my ID and turns around and stuffs it into some machine. Wait, what's happening here? Too late. I force my way around the guy and see a copy of my drivers license on the computer screen and this tacky looking interface that says "BarWatch." "What the hell is that," I demand, pointing at the screen? "Blah, blah, lies, it's for the clubs protection, blah blah, lies," replies the goon. "Who owns this? Who's getting my data? Why did you scan an image of my whole license!?" "Oh, it's just our club, lies, the police, blah blah, lies, RCMP blah, more lies, our protection, see how I lie. Nobody has your information, it's just so other clubs know if you've been in trouble, blah, and did you like that big lie?" "Your protection!? What about my personal privacy!?" Blank stare. BARWATCH FACTS > What BarWatch is doing is ILLEGAL! And yet it is supported by the POLICE! Under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (www.privcom.gc.ca/information/02_05_d_08_e.asp) "*The law requires organizations to:* * obtain your consent when they collect, use or disclose your personal information; * supply you with a product or a service even if you refuse consent for the collection, use or disclosure of your personal information unless that information is essential to the transaction; * collect information by fair and lawful means; and * have personal information policies that are clear, understandable and readily available." > BarWatch's actual history is dubious and unavailable. At this point we are unable to determine precisely where it was started, when it was started, and who originated it. There appear to be several different geographically disparate groups using the name BarWatch. > BarWatch in Edmonton is a joint venture between local business owners, Edmonton Police Service, Emergency Response Department, Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission, City of Edmonton Licensing Departments, West Edmonton Mall Security, Operation Red Nose, and Keys Please. > Jeff Christie, President of Panacea Data Management Corp., one of the principal companies behind the Edmonton BarWatch System, tells our source that "Edmonton Police Sergeant Gary McCarthy (780-496-8525) approached me (Jeff Christie) to do this project." > Jeff Christie has readily and willingly divulged via e-mail how their data is encrypted and how to decrypt it! He told this to someone he didn't even know! Read on, we'll give you all the details in Jeff's own words further down the page. > The BarWatch reader actually SCANS your whole ID, it doesn't just read the barcode. This enables them to steal your picture, your home address, your birthday, your height, your weight, and your signature. > BarWatch programs have also been started in Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, and who knows where else. > It is a requirement for all businesses using the BarWatch System to install a video camera and VCR to film customers entering and using the establishment. > The BarWatch website (www.barwatch.ca) claims that the customer is informed and must offer consent before their data is collected. It is clear that this is a blatant lie as the people working the door snatch your ID and scan it before you even know what is happening. Other BarWatch sites claim that signage and other information explaining the BarWatch system is posted at the establishment using it. This is also a blatant lie. > The BarWatch website also claims that only "authorized staff" at the clubs will be able to view the customer's private data and that the data will not be transferred to any other party without the customers consent. The site also states that they will provide your information to other persons "where the other parties are our participating clubs who assist us in serving you." Ok, so that's basically anyone willing to buy the information. Plus don't forget law enforcement. > The BarWatch website states that your personal information will also be used for direct mail and telephone marketing. > The day after this article first appeared (2004-09-06) all of the pages on BarWatch.ca were taken off the server (2004-06-10) and replaced with an under construction message. We grabbed a copy of the old site from google cache though. =) > Systems similar to this are popping up in clubs all over the world. > You have no idea where this information is going and BarWatch sure isn't telling the truth about it. IMPLICATIONS You may be saying "So what? I have nothing to hide." If that is the case you are a gullible idiot and are part of the problems currently plaguing our crumbling society. You don't deserve the last measly remnants of privacy and freedom that you still barely have. Privacy is a fundamental value in a democratic society. "Privacy is related entirely to the degree to which we respect each other as unique individuals, each with our own sets of values which we are entitled to make known or not as we see fit. To truly respect your neighbour, you must grant that person a private life. Respecting one another's privacy means the difference between a life of liberty, autonomy and dignity, and a hollow and intimidating existence under a cloud of constant oppressive surveillance." —Bruce Phillips, Privacy Commissioner of Canada, 1999 Here are some plausable potential abuses of the information in the BarWatch database: 1. When the auto insurance companies start buying this data from BarWatch to see how often you visit the bar what do you think is going to happen to your already inflated insurance rates? 2. Warrant out for your arrest? Too many traffic tickets? I'm sure the alarm bells will sound at the nearest police station as soon as your ID is scanned into BarWatch. The Police can just swing by to pick you up. 3. A cop stops you and it indicates on his Mobile Data Terminal that you were scanned into the BarWatch system at a bar nearby 4 hours ago. Step out of the car please... 4. Try getting affordable life insurance when they can check with BarWatch to see how often you go out drinking. 5. Criminals break into the BarWatch database and begin creating duplicate ID's from the images of your ID which are stored on the BarWatch system. With those ID cards they can then easily open bank accounts, get credit cards, rent cars and other equipment, all in your name and you will be held responsible by authorities. 6. Prospective employers check with BarWatch before hiring you to see how you spend your off-hours. 7. Alternative lifestyle? Do you want just anyone finding out about the stripper bars or gay clubs you've been going to? Employers? Insurance companies? Your family? BarWatch knows all your secrets. Can face recognition and DNA tracking in every establishment be far behind? Not at all. Machines which can suck a DNA sample off of you from a distance have been available since the year 2000. (Canada's DNA Database: Privacy's last stronghold destroyed, CybØrg/ASM, July 21, 2000, www.hackcanada.com/canadian/freedom/canadna.html) And face recognition is already being adopted in a variety of venues around the world. Are you scared yet? Outraged? You better be! What BarWatch is doing is in violation of Canada's Privacy Laws. Write our privacy commissioner now stating your opposition to this BarWatch privacy invasion system. (http://www.privcom.gc.ca/) Demand that action be taken to shut down the BarWatch network. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada 112 Kent Street Place de Ville Tower B, 3rd Floor Ottawa, Ontario K1A 1H3 Do it now! "SNOOP UNTO THEM AS THEY SNOOP UNTO US." -- HACKERS (1995) So, just where is this BarWatch data stored? How secure is it? In Edmonton... BarWatch.ca is hosted at tera-byte.com by some reseller on a Linux server. (75-hosting.com) The software appears to be written in PHP and MySQL. Historically not the most secure development platform. And we don't really know who all has access to it. Nice. Also, Jeff Christie of Edmonton BarWatch readily reveals to one of our sources that "we (BarWatch) use an encryption key that is based off the barcode number that was used to create the account. Therefore every line in the db (database) had a different key used to create it. So to me, or anyone else all the data looks like is garbage without the decryption key... your (drivers license) barcode number." Gee thanks, Jeff. Telling unknown people exactly how your encryption works and how to decrypt the data totally defeats the point of using encryption in the first place. What an amateur operation. And the Police support and approve of this?! In Vancouver... RT writes: "The Software & Hardware is developed by a Vancouver company called Treoscope. The product used in the Barwatch network is called 'Vigilance'. www.treoscope.com/VSS1b.html provides a chilling look into some of the 'features'. The day to day administration of the network is performed by a company called Genesis Security." The software I saw in the bar had pretty much the same features as shown on the Vigilance page, but it had the tacky BarWatch interface applied to it much like this webpage. This Genesis Security (www.genesissecurity.com) website states "As a member for the last seven years of Vancouver's Barwatch, an industry association representing 22 nightclubs in the downtown core, we have developed new approaches to the issues facing the nightclub industry and downtown property owners. We work closely with the Vancouver Police Department and nightclub industry representatives to develop and refine our unique service capability in crowd management and patron control."

It is the machine I first learned to code on back around 1981. In my youth I never did own my own computer. But now the old Apple's have sought me out in need of a home. In recent years I have come to shelter 3 of them. Two ][e's and a ][c. Now I code on them again. I wanted to write something functional, and aesthetically pleasing. Something useful for my Apples to do besides very slowly calculating pi or fibonacci sequences, and warming my home in the winter. A clock. But not just any clock. A square clock. A square clock with hands that actually elongate and contract as they follow the square shape of the clockface. How boss would that be? Well, here it is in all its mode HGR2 Applesoft BASIC bossness. ][.SQR.CLOCK. . . . o . . .

or manipulating the mail system in a variety of high and low tech ways; sometimes legal, sometimes illegal; sometimes to get free delivery and sometimes to get faster delivery. Phacking has been around since the first stamps were invented in 1847 and were shortly thereafter forged by hand. Since then, Phacking has progressed to a very high-tech level thanks to an assiduous but predominantly unheard of band of pioneers such as The Postmasters, PhedEx, Zip C0de, PoD, Dr. Sort, Post Officer, C-Rate, X-Press, Maleman, NonFunc, and The Courier). Phacking has certainly been kept fairly hush-hush. Indeed, most people have never even heard of Phacking, and I have certainly never seen any Canadian Phacking information, much less met or spoken to a Canadian Phacker. Heck, try to find ANY Phacking information on the 'Net and you will likely come up empty-handed. At any rate, having never worked in the postal industry and having never spoken to a Phacker, I certainly do not have the knowledge of the postal systems inner-workings that would allow me to present any truly advanced Phacking techniques. The Phacks included are what I could come up with based on the research I have done so far and are all quite primitive. Hopefully, those in the know will contribute information for a future version of this file, and I will continue to learn more when I have absolutely nothing better to do with my time. Honestly, I'm sure you're asking yourself "why bother? snail-mail is so obsolete and snail-like". I hear ya', don't ask me why I do the things I do. Hackers are just an intellectually migratory life form with a positive tropism for computers. I guess it's the journey and not the destination or something. So, uh, let's get postal. ___ ____________ (( 1 ) (( Disclaimer ) Phucking with the mail is generally a VERY SERIOUS CRIME. Keep this in mind -- sending a letter for free is easy, but habitually abusing the postal service will land you in a heap of trouble. You're far better off playing with the tricks to get your mail routed faster and leaving the free-mail scams to those who enjoy prison. That being said, I accept absolutely no responsibility or liability for your actions or for the applicability, legality, or use of the information in this document. Fairly warned be thee, says I. Now phack-off. ___ _______________________ (( 2 ) (( Anatomy of a Delivery ) Canada Post Corporation (CPC) delivers approximately 8 billion pieces of mail every year. There are numerous places for things to go horribly wrong, resulting in slower delivery, or even failed delivery. The following diagram shows the highlights of a letters adventure as near as I've been able to determine it. I also detail each stage of the journey and point out potential postal pitfalls, as well as opportunities for you to improve your letters chances for successful and "speedy" delivery. Please note that this analysis is not comprehensive and may even contain factual errors, but it is the best I've been able to piece together thus far as a CPC outsider. Letter -----(a)----> Mailbox -----(b)----> Delivery Facility -----(c)---. : : : : : ,---- MLOCR <---(e)--- MARK <---(d)--- Distribution Centre Facility <---' : : : : .--(f1)--> BCS --. : / \ : / \ '------<----(f2)---> LSM ----->-----(g)-----> Destination Facility -----. \ / : \ / : `--(f3)--> FSM --' : : : : Addressee <----(i)---- Carrier <----(h)---' a) Letter ---> Mailbox This is you, taking your letter to the mailbox... DUH! Note the pick-up days and times which are usually labeled on the mailbox. Not a lot of things can go wrong at this stage and it would take a very special kind of retard to screw up the mission at this juncture. b) Mailbox ---> Delivery Facility The letters in the mailbox are picked up on schedule and moved by a CPC van to a CPC Delivery Facility. c) Delivery Facility ---> Distribution Centre Facility A Distribution Centre Facility (DCF) is a major postal facility where mail is received, sorted, handled and sent to, or received from, a group of dependent postal facilities. d) Distribution Centre Facility ---> MARK At the DCF is where your letter meets the MARK. The MARK facer-canceller automatically cancels stamped letter-size mail and arranges letters so that they all face the same direction. Using phosphorescent detectors, the MARK determines if a letter is stamped by detecting minute traces of phosphor in stamps. Unstamped mail is sorted into a separate bin for human processing. e) MARK ---> MLOCR From the MARK, your letter travels to the Multi-Line Optical Character Reader (MLOCR) machine. This machine reads the complete address on a properly addressed mail item and encodes the corresponding fluorescent bar code. If you don't want a human messing with your mail and slowing things down it is critical that you address your mail in a clear and proper manner so that the MLOCR can read the address correctly. If the machine can't read it, then a human is given a fraction of a second to decipher the Postal Code and key it in. One typo and your letter may end up in Kugluktuk. f1) MLOCR ---> BCS The Bar Code Sorter (BCS) machine sorts high volume mail such as bar coded Business Reply Mail (BRM). f2) MLOCR ---> LSM The Letter Sorting Machine (LSM) sorts mail by reading fluorescent bar codes printed on letter-sized mail. f3) MLOCR ---> FSM Flats Sorting Machine (FSM) – A machine that sorts mail flats (larger than letter-size items) by reading addresses and/or the bar codes printed on such mail, and encodes mail with the bar code as required. Properly and legibly formatting your destination address will ensure your letter gets sorted quickly and correctly. Or better yet, barcode it yourself. More on that later. g) BCS / LSM / FSM ---> Destination Facility After being sorted at the Distribution Centre Facility, your letter is forwarded on to its destination Delivery Facility. h) Destination Facility ---> Carrier The Letter Carriers retrieve the mail for their route from this delivery facility. This is the facility from which the mode of delivery emanates (e.g. location of postal box, origination of the rural route or letter carrier route) and can include urban postal stations, letter carrier depots, and rural postal facilities. i) Carrier ---> Addressee Postman Dan carries the letter to the person's mailbox that you addressed it to. Postman Dan might shoot his co-workers and get indicted before even hitting the street or he might trade his mail for crack cocaine. =/ As you can see, it's a miracle any letters ever get delivered at all, what with those humans in there always bungling things up. Read on to learn what you can do to get some of those post-office philistines out of the loop. ___ ________________ (( 3 ) (( Faster Routing ) Let's face it; humans are slow, fat, lazy, and often not too bright. When you want the job done right, machines are faster and sexier. It's just a fact. This holds especially true in the world of Canada Post. There are some simple (and legal!) things you can do to ensure your letter is handled by as few humans as possible. The benefit here is not only faster (and sexier) delivery, but also, if you are pulling some of the other tricks in this document, it is often to your benefit to have as few postal-workers as possible scrutinizin' and molestin' your "handi-work". So, just follow the tips and the faster it'll ship... Properly format your mailing addresses: . Type (or print clearly) the address all in uppercase. . Format address with a uniform left margin. . Use proper Unit identifiers (APT = Apartment, SUITE = Suite, UNIT = Unit). Unit number is placed before the civic number (official number assigned to an address by the municipality) with a hyphen between, OR after the Street Type, using an acceptable Unit identifier (ex. APT 69). . Use proper Street Type identifiers (ST = Street, AVE = Avenue, BLVD = Boulevard). . Use proper Street Directions (E, N, NE, NW, S, SE, SW, W). . Post Office Boxes are indicated in the form "PO BOX 111" and followed with the Station or Retail Postal Outlet where appropriate (STN = Station, RPO = Retail Postal Outlet). . Rural Routes should be indicated in the form "RR 2" and followed with the Station or Retail Postal Outlet where appropriate. . City, Province, and Postal Code should all be on the same line with two spaces between Province and Postal Code. Use the appropriate two character Province Code (AB, BC, MB, NB, NF, NT, NS, NU, ON, PE, QC, SK, YT). . Addresses must be less than 40 characters per line, including spaces. . Postal codes should be printed in upper case with the first three characters separated from the last three by one space (no hyphens). . Do not use punctuation unless it is part of a proper name. Never use the # symbol either. . Use monospace (non-proportional) fonts such as Courier. . All characters must be larger than 2 mm and smaller than 5 mm (10 to 12 point). Return addresses may use smaller characters and must not be larger than the destination address. . Space between address lines must be at least 0.5 mm but no more than one blank line. . Return Addresses are formatted in the same way as the destination address, and located in the top-left corner of the envelope, clearly separated from the destination address, or on the back of the envelope at the top. If you're still confused, check out the "Canadian Addressing Guide" available from Canada Post Corporation. Ok, that was pretty basic stuff and it will certainly help the MLOCR (Multi- Line Optical Character Reader) read your address, but to make it completely foolproof you'll want to use... - BAR CODES - Bar codes are the miracle of modern science that, among other things, would have the checkout lines at the grocery stores moving blazing fast if it weren't for the ignorant masses holding things up while they piss around with their fooking cash cards and wait to be authorized at 2400 baud by a system overloaded with hose-monkeys eager to share their spending habits with Big Brother and whoever else might want to buy their info for some nefarious purpose. But I digress, Bar Codes in the postal world are a godsend. Bar Codes have gotten the mail moving through the postal system faster than lead from a disgruntled postal workers .44 caliber sidearm. Ok, maybe not that fast. How about faster than a snail on methamphetamine? Awe jeah. That is fast. Canada Post uses a barcode standard known as the "4-State Barcode". The 4-State barcode is a height modulated barcode consisting of both alpha and numeric character sets. This code may be applied by the customer, or by Canada Post's automated sorting equipment. A properly designed and rendered barcode will allow the FSM (Flats Sorting Machine) to sort the mail items based on the 4-State barcode thereby increasing the speed at which your letter will flow through the system. I was going to give a detailed guide to creating your own 4-state barcodes, but it truly bores the hell out of me... maybe some other time. So for now I will leave you to refer to the Canada Post 4-State Barcode Handbook (available from Canada Post) for design information. ___ ____________________ (( 4 ) (( Mail for the Blind ) Canada Post offers free mail services for blind people and institutions serving the blind. This service is available within Canada, to the U.S.A., and to international destinations at no charge when sent by surface mail. Mail for the blind is generally indicated on the envelope with a simple rubber stamp. The printing or inkpad stamp should look like this in Canada: ______________________________________ | | | LITERATURE FOR THE BLIND | | | | DOCUMENTATION À L'USAGE DES AVEUGLES | |______________________________________| In the United States, they tend to look like this: ___________________________ | | | FREE MATTER FOR THE BLIND | | AND PHYS. HANDICAPPED | |___________________________| A non-serif (i.e. Arial) style font is typically used, and the mark is placed in the upper right hand corner of the envelope where the postage stamp would normally be placed. Even a novice counterfeiter should have no problem duplicating this mark with a basic graphics program and a printer. According to Canada Post Corporation only these items may be mailed using this free service: . Books, periodicals, papers, and unsealed letters impressed in Braille or similar raised type. . Tapes and records sent by a blind person. . Plates for printing literature for the blind. . Tapes, records, and special writing paper intended solely for the use of the blind when mailed by, or addressed to, a recognized institution for the blind. Of course only a callous asshole would abuse this service and risk ruining it for those who truly need it. ___ _________________ (( 5 ) (( Stamp Recycling ) Reusing stamps not only makes good economic sense, but good environmental sense as well. Save a tree, mail for free! Here are a few methods for reusing those stamps which one can occasionally get away with: A. Someone sent you a letter and the postmark didn't even hit the stamp. Well, just cut that stamp out and tape or glue it on the letter you want to send. B. If the postmark damage to the stamp is not too severe, you can often use an eraser to scrub off the postmark. C. Tape over your stamp with "magic tape". You know, that transparent tape that is easy to peel off. Do a good job of it so it's not too noticeable. Your recipient will be able to peel that tape off and reuse the stamp. "Hey, sometimes the dang stamp just won't stick by itself." D. Canada Post is constantly raising the price of stamps by a penny or two in an effort to screw the postage paying consumer. They then declare that you must buy 2 cent stamps to use in conjunction with your old stamps that don't quite meet the new postal rate. Often people end up buying new stamps and the old stamps go to waste. Or, they end up doubling up the old stamps they have and grossly exceeding the minimum required postage just to ensure the letter gets delivered. Well, I say phuck that and phuck Canada Post. Use your old stamps as you normally would. Canada Post does not waste their time and money returning a letter that is just a few cents short on postage. ___ ______________________ (( 6 ) (( No Postage Necessary ) Wouldn't it be nice to just mail stuff without worrying about postage at all? Well, some people have that privilege. The "Franking Privilege" is a statutory privilege available to the Governor General (http://www.gg.ca/), the secretary to the Governor General, Speaker or Clerk of the Senate or the House of Commons, the Parliamentary Librarian or Associate, members of the Senate and of the House of Commons, and certain privileged others. Franking privilege allows for the marking on an item of mail with an official signature, initials or sign (franking) indicating the right of the sender to free mailing privileges. If you knew what a "frank" looked like you could probably send mail for free this way. I'd never seen a piece of "franked" mail so I decided to write a letter to the Governor General (currently Adrienne Clarkson) with some suitable social engineering and see if I could get her to write back using her franking privileges. As an added bonus there is no postage necessary when writing to the Governor General of Canada either so it didn't cost me anything. Her Excellency the Right Honourable Adrienne Clarkson Governor General of Canada Rideau Hall 1 Sussex Drive Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A1 Of course my social engineering is first-class and in less than a week I had received an autographed image of her sexcellency Ms. Clarkson in an envelope which had been franked by the secretary to the Governor General. The frank mark was stamped in red ink and was basically like this: 04.07.13 Secretary to the Governor General Secretaire du Gouverneur General Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A1 It is interesting to me that the date of mailing is built into the stamp. Obviously one of those fancy stamps that has the little dials to set the date, but I've never seen one built into a larger stamp like this. Also, the name in the frank mark is not the same name or signature as the secretary that responded to my letter. Anyway, if you were trying to mail a letter fraudulently "franked" with the secretary to the Governor General's "frank mark" on it, I would think your chances for success would be very slight unless you were to drop the letter in a mailbox outside of Rideau Hall. But who knows? ___ _________________________ (( 7 ) (( Oldest Scam in the Book ) Surely the oldest scam in the Phackers bag of tricks is to switch the return address with the destination address and mail it without postage. CPC will have it Returned to Sender (RTS) free of charge. You would think this would only work when it is mailed in the same city as the intended recipient, however, it has been successfully perpetrated city to city. Yeah, that is totally retarded. ___ _______________________________ (( 8 ) (( POSTpac / POSTroute / POSTcct ) POSTpac is Canada Post Corporations packet switched data network.

No Fetus Can Beat Us "EDMONTON, ALBERTA -- The following five paragraphs are excerpts from a story that appeared in Sunday's Globe and Daily: Canada's health-care system is sliding toward Nazi-style eugenics by encouraging parents to abort disabled fetuses, a University of Victoria academic says. In a speech to the University of Alberta, professor of social work Tanis Doe said the widespread practice of pre-screening pregnant women and their offspring for genetic diseases has turned into a system for purging society of the disabled. "Women are expected to -- pressured to -- abort pregnancies when fetal disability is diagnosed," said Ms. Doe, who is herself deaf and confined to a wheelchair. "But minimal support is available to raise children with disabilities. Eugenics was practiced in the U.K., Canada and the United States before the rise of Hitler. So what has happened since then is a continuation of the sterilization practices that we have only recently acknowledged." Ms. Doe said there is widespread acceptance in the western world of the idea that disabled fetuses should not be brought to term. Entire article: "Professor says Canada sliding into eugenics" (http://www.inclusiondaily.com/news/04/red/0316a.htm) As I read this I had a flash back to my drive home a few days earlier. On the road, driving in the middle of a lane, was a man in a motorized wheelchair. I assumed from the fact that he was not on the sidewalk, not wearing a helmet, and not on a residential street, that he must have also been retarded. This, I thought, was Darwinism at work, and it was good. Eugenics is not something that should be feared. Evolution is not able to work in a society that takes care of the weak and frail. In the wild, animals have to struggle to earn the right to breed, and only the strong offspring are left to grow up and do the same. The systems we have in place protect the weak and the old; those that shouldn't be. A woman who carries the child within her body should have the right to know what kind of child she is carrying. A child that has genetic defects becomes a burden on society and on the woman forced to raise the child. Society more often than not then has to help the mother who cannot raise a child so needy. Screams of disgust, and finger pointing towards Hitler's agenda have branded Eugenics. The world doesn't need breeders in the first place. It needs children who will require constant care throughout their lives even less. The welfare system is filled with enough single moms with children who are simply lazy and stupid. I'm thrilled Canada is progressive enough to have safe abortion clinics for women who need them. "Canada is one of the very few countries in the world that has NO criminal law restricting abortion at all. We first liberalized our law against abortion in 1969; then our Supreme Court threw it out completely in 1988. And we've been doing just fine without it. In the 11 years since we began our great experiment, we've found that doctors and women exercise the right to abortion responsibly, without the need for any legal restrictions. We don't need gestational limits. We don't need waiting periods. We don't need parental or spousal consent laws. And we don't need restrictions on certain types of abortions." (http://www.prochoiceactionnetwork-canada.org/Canada.html) Ideally medicare would pay for tubal ligations. Women who choose not to breed should be encouraged, not held back. Allowing a woman to end a pregnancy for any reason is a good thing. Having a child is burdensome enough without adding a lifetime of care-giving to the mix.

To make a long story short, Telus called me today to verify for the third time, our service address. So I called back and did it. I asked why there was a problem, and the associate told me it was due to some software issues with my home line and that Telus would need an extra day to get things sorted out. After being put on hold for 20 minutes, he came back and then told me that we can expect service by Wednesday. Since he was wasting all my time, I let him go. After work I called back and complained and demanded that the $35.00 charge for hook-up be removed because it caused me a huge amount of inconvenience. The woman on the other end of the phone went on this huge rant about the service charge being CRTC regulation, a policy, blah blah blah. Following her policy BS, I asked for a manager. She said "well the manager is going to tell you the same thing I just told you." I retort "You know, I work in the customer service industry too. And what you just said to me, the 'my manager is going to tell you the same thing' is text book example of BAD customer service. Just give me the manager." So she then explained that she'd firstly have to get manager approval in order to do this. Of course she didn't get this so-called "approval" so I ended up being stuck with her. I asked her a few questions that intrigued me about why my line had "software issues". And I ended up asking if she saw the following things on my line: "pen register" "soft tap" and she admitted that yes it's true. There is "PEN REG" on my account next to WIP; Work In Progress. This means my line was being tapped. No question about it. A pen register is basically software at the switch that monitors #'s that "suspects" with Telus have on their phone lines. If you have a pen-register monitoring you, it monitors all #'s dialed. Out of anger and disappointment, I cancelled the service transfer.

Don't do illegal things. They're bad. Hi all! Recently I aquired an old Telus Pay and Talk phone, that was but is no longer activated. I've been planning on gettin a pay'n talk startup kit but have yet to do so because Im poor. After hangin out with steelethan on a boring walk home, I realized that this cell I have was still in my pocket. I had this idea, fooled around, thought it wouldnt' work, but like always, I was wrong. There is a way to get free phone calls on a non-activated Telus cell, and here it is: -When you dial any #, it directs you to an automated Telus voice saying to call *611, so I do. Call *611, press 1 for service in English (Or w/e you speak) Press 2 for pcs/cellular client Press 3 for landline option stuff Press 3 again for landline stuff It will then connect to you to this automated voice where you have to SPEAK CLEARLY. I hate those systems. Anyway say "service operator", then when the voice comes again asking what kind of operator, repeat "service operator". When she asks you If you want a service op for your business line or home line, say "Home". You will then be connected to a Telus operator. Say you were getting transferred to 411 and you must have been transferred to the wrong place. Make something up, It's VERY easy to get them to transfer you to 411 directory assistance. Once you get to 411, you know what to do :). Press 1 to be directly connected to the number. It works every time, or has for me anyways. The ANI info showing up on my home phone that I called was blank, it will have no phone # and just says "unknown caller". The other great thing about this ..'feature' is (I think) that even if your phone IS activated, you can use this to not get charged for your call, because calls to *611 are free. (Never tried this though. Don't take my word for it). I just thought I'd share this with you. There may be other ways to do this and more things possible, Im not sure, let me know if you find anything else interesting. It may/may not work someplaces. Im not sure. But in the 780 (hell yeah!) region it sure as hell does :) *note: This will only work during telus business hours, I think they close at 7pm.

XLMF High Density Line Frame Provides a High-Density Line Frame solution for growing floor space concerns. This offering supports up to 3584 subscribers and provides a minimum of 4:1 savings in floor space as compared to current offerings. Up to a 7:1 savings when replacing queen size line frames. The XLMF connects fiber-optically to the host TCU, which can be up to 2,000'away. Remote XLMF High Density Line Frame is a DS3 transport, satellite system hosted by the GTD-5 base unit. This solution allows the XLMF to be positioned in a remote location serviced by a DS3 transport network. The RXLMF supports up to 3584 subscribers and provides a minimum of 4:1 savings in floor space as compared to current RSU offerings. Up to a 7:1 savings when replacing RSU Queen size line frames. Peripheral High Speed interface expands the capabilities of the GTD-5 by equipping it with a high-speed interface. A proprietary optical interface makes it possible for the GTD-5 to communicate with far-end devices, including adjunct or remote equipment designed by Lucent Technologies, or other vendors. The PHSI offers an economical means of accessing and transporting the equivalent of four Facility Interface Units (FIU) or GTD-5 voice/data time slots (768) on a fiber interface. Implementation requires the installation of a pair of PHSI cards within the existing Time Switch and Peripheral Control Unit (TCU) module. Accessed equipment must be connected to the PHSI with a maximum of 2,000 feet of fiber. All administration is accomplished with the GTD-5 Operations Gateway over an Ethernet LAN. Applications supported include several that take advantage of the GTD-5 's versatility and dependability, such as interfacing to the Lucent Multiplex Access Interface Unit (XLMF), and servicing end-user connection devices with voice-frequency telephony service. The PHSI also supports inter-office Class 5 trunking that carries signaling information via SS7. Operations Gateway (OG) enhances maintenance and operations for the GTD-5 and its new feature elements. The OG administers the entire GTD-5 system and all its network elements. OG manages DS3 interface, XLMF, RXLMF, CALEA, internal high-speed LAN, GTD-5 system documentation via CD-ROM (replaces the documentation PC), and system backup/restore via tape drive emulation. There is a removable flash disk for hard media storage and GTD-5 system, recent change and TDA logging for problem resolution. A high-speed TCP/IP connection is recommended for maintenance and RFD support and is facilitated by the OG. CALEA functionality allows it to comply with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) mandates for monitoring circuit switched calls. CALEA (the Communication Assistance for Law enforcement Act) requires telephone companies to provide electronic surveillance capabilities to authorized law enforcement agencies. As of June 30,2000, all wireline and wireless carriers must meet "minimum intercept requirements" for providing call identification information and communications content. SVR 4004 enables the GTD-5 to support multiple levels of Surveillance. *ACK!* Big Brother's watching over us...

ASYMMETRIC DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER LINE Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) provides a high-speed end-to-end broadband data path using ADSL technology over existing subscriber facilities in the public switched network. ADSL provides a 1.66-Mbps downstream path to the end user and a 72-Kbps return path while maintaining POTS service over the same single twisted pair phone line. Integrated ADSL is available in GTD-5 SVR 1732 and later releases. Non-integrated ADSL is available in all commercially available GTD-5 SVRs INTEGRATED CIRCUIT-SWITCHED DATA Part Number: N/A Integrated Circuit-Switched Data (CSD) provides the subscriber with digital data transmission and digital voice transmission over a standard telephone line. A Data Adapter (DA) is used to integrate data and provide digital access origination and termination controls to the switch. The DA is located near the subscriber's telephone and terminal or computer. The DA serves as an interface between the subscriber's telephone and terminal or computer and the subscriber's line that is interconnected to the GTD-5 EAX. Integrated CSD provides a means to switch DA asynchronous data up to 19.2 kbps or synchronous data up to 64 kbps between the DA and another DA, or any other compatible CSD device. Following are brief descriptions of CSD characteristics, sub features, and field descriptions. * Digital Subscriber Line Connection A digital data line connection through a DA can support both digital data and voice call transmission. * Digital Hunt Group Connection CSD allows several DAs to form a hunt group connection that is able to support both digital data and voice call transmission. * Circuit-Switched Data Fields The following data fields are engineered to inform the GTD-5 EAX of the proper response to various conditions associated with CSD. o Character Length. This field specifies if a digital data line or digital data hunt group can transmit a character length of 5, 6, 7, or 8 bits. o Digital Data Transmission Rate. This field specifies which of 16 available bits-per-second (bps) transmission rates are allowed for a digital data line or digital data hunt group member. NOTE: The bps values must be identical between two devices for them to interface. o Duplex. This field indicates if a digital data or modem hunt group can transmit data in the full duplex mode (data is both sent and received simultaneously) or half duplex mode (data can be both sent and received, but not simultaneously). o Number of Stop-Bits. This field specifies if digital data hunt group members can transmit one, one and one-half, or two stop-bits. Stop-bits signify the end of an asynchronous data character string. This field does not apply to synchronous data. o Synchronous or Asynchronous Transmission. This field specifies if asynchronous or synchronous data is transmitted over a digital data line or digital data hunt group. Available in GTD-5 SVR 1633 and later releases. For additional feature availability information, contact your Lucent representative. For technical specifications see the GTD-5 CD ROM. ISDN PRIMARY RATE ACCESS Part Number: SP-16173-PRIT Class II Equipment with Primary Rate Interface (PRI) allows for an exchange of signals occurring beyond the Stored Program Controlled Switching (SPCS) system's point of contact with the interface (that is, between the equipment directly connected to the SPCS and the ISDN terminals or telephones connected to the equipment). A common example of Class II Equipment is an ISDN-compatible Private Branch Exchange (PBX) serving Class Equipment ISDN terminals using a Basic Rate Interface (BRI) or serving telephones. The GTD-5 EAX Primary Rate Access (PRA) consists of three standard ISDN PRA layers: 1. Clear Channel Capability (CCC)/Extended Superframe (ESF) format (layer 1) 2. Link Access Procedures on the D-channel (LAPD)/Q.921 (layer 2) 3. Q.931 signaling protocol (layer 3), which also supports the following PRA supplementary features o Switched Fractional DS1 Services (nxDS0) o Call-by-Call Services o Calling Line Identification (CLID) Services o User-to-User Signaling o Two B-Channel Transfer o Skip Calling Number Screening For full support of the PRA capability to the network, the GTD-5 EAX provides SS7 ISDN User Part (ISUP) to PRA (Q.931) interworking, as well as SS7 ISUP intraLATA and interLATA signaling. Switched Fractional DS1 Service This feature provides support of the Switched DS1/Switched Fractional DS1 Service capability over a Primary Rate Interface (SWF-DS1/ISDN). SWF-DS1/ISDN supports wideband Unrestricted Digital Information (UDI) bearer capabilities at rates greater than 64 kbps and less than or equal to 1536 kbps. A more common name for SWF-DS1/ISDN is "nxDS0." The EDT-FIU feature provides the GTD-5 EAX with a 64-kbps clear channel capability that is a basic requirement for a switch to handle nxDS0 calls. The GTD-5 EAX supports the ISDN PRA access interface and the SS7 ISUP interoffice interface but not the non-ISDN access switched fractional interface. Outgoing calls to SWF-DS1/non-ISDN called parties can be switched by the GTD-5 EAX only to SS7 trunk circuits. Similarly, incoming SWF-DS1/non- ISDN calls can only be received over SS7 trunk circuits. By subscribing to SWF-DS1/ISDN service on the GTD-5 EAX, the user can make and receive SWF-DS1/ISDN calls at the selected rate with another SWF-DS1/ISDN user (via PRI or SS7) or with an SWF-DS1/non-ISDN user accessed via SS7. In typical public ISDN network offerings, switched access for customers is restricted to services using bit rates of less than or equal to 64 kbps. SWF-DS1/ISDN is a capability for supporting nx64 kbps (where 2 <= n <= 24) services on a real-time switched basis that normally can only be supported by private line service offerings. Videoconferencing is a prime application for SWF-DS1/ISDN. Point-to-point multi-media applications give customers the ability to integrate different kinds of media, such as combinations of video, images, audio, and data, on a single access pipe. PRA Call-by-Call Service Selection provides services to a PRI as an alternative to providing a separate PRI interface for each service by combining all services on the same PRI trunk group. A Call-by-Call service can be requested by including an indication of the requested service in the call request, or by selecting a set of B-channels that are dedicated to the service. When no indication is received, the call is treated as a public network call. In addition, the GTD-5 EAX uses ISDN Call Type (voice or data) as criteria to select an outgoing PRI trunk group. Simulated Facility Groups (SFGs) are provided on a PRI to limit the number of simultaneous calls for a Call-by-Call Service. PRA Calling Line Identification (CLID) extends PRI requirements for circuit switched basic call control to services involving provision and delivery of Calling Party Numbers (CPN) and Calling Party Name (CNAM) using interoffice Signaling System No. 7 (SS7) transport. SS7 messages pass CPN and Redirecting Number (RN) data between the originating and terminating switches. The PRA CLID feature handles CPN, Calling Party Subaddress (CPS), RN, and Redirecting Subaddress (RS) processing for circuit-mode calls and provides four component features: 1. Number Provision (for CPNs and RNs) 2. Number Screening (for CPNs and RNs) 3. Number Privacy (for CPNs and RNs) 4. Number Delivery (for CPNs and RNs) PRA User-to-User Signaling (UUS) allows user equipment to exchange user information in the call request phase, call confirmation phase, and call clearing phase of a PRA call. UUS provides for the transport of User-to-User Information (UUI) over the PRA and includes interworking between PRA and SS7 signaling. UUS also supports wideband calls. Two B-Channel Transfer (TBCT) allows the user on a PRI to request the GTD-5 EAX to connect two independent calls on the user's interface. If the request is accepted, the controller is released from the calls and the other two users are directly connected. This feature is available in GTD-5 SVR 1731. Skip Calling Number Screening Skip Calling Number Screening causes the GTD-5 EAX to use an unscreened Calling Party Number (CPN) or Redirecting Number (RN) as the billing number for a call, and store the user-provided CPN (if available) into the call register as "passed screening." Additional ISDN PRI features include: Custom Primary Rate Interface Enhancement, Feature Package A This feature provides a custom PRI interface for the GTD-5 EAX based on the custom PRI provided by Lucent Technologies on the 5ESS(r). It allows the GTD-5 EAX to initialize, originate calls, and terminate calls on a PRI interface that conforms to the custom PRI implementation on the 5ESS. This feature is available in GTD-5 SVR 4000. Multiple PRI Traffic Distribution Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are turning up service by purchasing multiple single span primary rate interfaces (PRIs). The Multiple PRI Traffic Distribution feature allows telephone companies to engineer a PRI trunk group to have more than one PRI and thus distribute traffic over multiple PRIs. Each PRI is controlled by a separate D-Channel (or pair of D-Channels) that controls the trunk group channels. This feature is available in GTD-5 SVR 1732. Frame Relay Access provides a PRI interface to frame handlers (FH) connected to the GTD-5 via another PRI. Frame relay signaling over the B-Channel(s) between the customer's equipment (CPE) and the FH is transparent to the GTD-5 EAX. Multipoint Video/Data Conferencing provides a PRI interface to a Multipoint Control Unit (MCU). The MCU supports Meet-Me, Add-On, and Preset Multi-media conferences to PRI and Switched 56 trunks. PRI 10-Digit Local Dialing allows for local calls over a PRI interface to be completed whether 7-digits or 10-digits are provided for the called number. This feature is available in GTD-5 SVR 4000. PRI Abbreviated Dialing This feature allows a GTD-5 ISDN Switching Module (ISM) or Private Branch Exchange (PBX) to provide intercom digits (for example, 4 or 5 digits) to the GTD-5 over a PRI interface. The GTD-5 will complete the call just as if a GTD-5 business group line had placed the call. The GTD-5 can also send intercom digits to the ISM or PBX for completion of intercom calls from the GTD-5. Proper intra-business group alerting is applied to the intercom calls. This feature is available in GTD-5 SVR 4001. Available in GTD-5 SVR 1721 and later releases. (Unless otherwise stated above) For additional feature availability information, contact your Lucent representative. For technical specifications see the GTD-5 CD ROM. SUPPRESSED RINGING Part Number: N/A The suppressed ringing feature allows a specially classmarked originator to access a subscriber line without ringing it. This capability allows data communication between a central controller and responder equipment at the customer premises without disturbing the subscriber. Typical applications are: * Remote reading of utility meters * Cable TV pay-per-view activation * Analog Display Services Interface (ADSI) activation and updates Available in GTD-5 SVR 4001 and later releases. For additional feature availability information, contact your Lucent representative. For technical specifications see the GTD-5 CD ROM.

ISDN HARDWARE - BASIC RATE INTERFACE LINES Part Number: SP-14000-RDT3 (for RDT BRI lines), SP-14000-RDT4 (for RDT BRI lines) BRI-type Digital Subscriber Lines (DSLs) are provisionable directly on a GTD-5 EAX Basic Rate Line Peripheral Interface Unit (BLU) or off of a TR-303 RDT. Available in GTD-5 SVR 4000 and later releases. ISDN BRI CUSTOMER PREMISES EQUIPMENT Vendor-specific proprietary equipment limits the ability to provide features and services to customers. GTD-5 ISDN BRI resolves this problem by providing an "open interface" that allow the customers to connect industry standard BRI CPE to their GTD-5 BRI digital subscriber lines. There are many advantages to using industry standard BRI CPE including standard interface, numerous BRI CPE vendors to choose from, integrated voice and data, PC "Plug and Play" capable, and higher speed data connections. GTD-5 EAX Features BRI PACKET SERVICES Part Number: N/A This feature provides D-channel packet data services for BRI subscribers. The GTD-5 EAX provides X.25 packet services on a BRI D-channel. The following sub features are supported: * Multiplexed Packet Data on the D-channel. D-channel packet calls are originated by the ISDN terminal using only X.25 call control messages. Terminating D-channel packet calls may or may not require the use of Q.931 call control procedures to establish a logical channel between the GTD-5 EAX and the ISDN terminal, depending on the notification method subscribed and the existence of active D-channel packet calls. * Delivery of Packet-Mode Calls with No Notification. This feature is supported for an ISDN terminal using the D-channel if the D-channel Packet Link is currently active for the terminal. * Delivery of Packet-Mode Calls with Conditional Notification. This feature is supported for an ISDN terminal using the D-channel if the D-channel Packet Link is currently inactive for the terminal. * X.25 Reverse Charging. This feature is supported in the reverse charge facility received in an X.25 Call Request packet. Incoming calls from the X.75' network with the reverse charge facility terminate to the called X.25 facility if the called DN is subscribed to the Reverse Charging Acceptance. X.75' Packet-mode calls received with the Reverse Charging facility and the called DN not subscribed to the Reverse Charging Acceptance are cleared. * Interexchange Carrier (IC) Preselection for Packet-Mode Calls. This feature is included in the X.75' Call Request sent to the external Packet Switch when a Recognized Private Operating Agency (RPOA) facility is not included in the X.25 Call Request message received from the BRI subscriber and the GTD-5 EAX is unable to discriminate between inter- and intra-network numbering (as defined by the NDID/Data Interchange Standard Association, Inc. (DISA) parameters). * RPOA Selection facility. This feature is used by an X.25 user to request the use of an IC different from the one pre-subscribed for the DN. When present in the X.25 Call Request packet, the RPOA Selection facility is passed transparently across the X.75' link to the Packet Switch for routing to the designated IC. * CCITT X.25 services. The GTD-5 EAX passes to the external packet switch the following CCITT X.25 services received in an X.25 packet: o Calling Address Extension. This facility contains additional information identifying the calling packet user. o Called Address Extension. This facility contains additional information identifying the called packet user. o Minimum Throughput Class. This facility reflects the lowest packet throughput class that is acceptable to the sending Data Terminal Equipment (DTE). The facility is also used during throughput negotiation when the requested throughput cannot be provided. o End-to-end Transit Delay. This facility contains the values of measured, expected, and maximum allowable transit delay for the packet call. This facility provides for future support of DTE services that might include refusing a call or reporting when the transit delay is not acceptable to the DTE. o Expedited Data Negotiation. This facility provides an end-to-end indication whether expedited data negotiation is to be used. No service for the use of this facility has been defined at this time. * Packet Routing and Digit Analysis. The GTD-5 EAX does not perform the packet routing digit analysis for originating packet-mode calls. The GTD-5 EAX does screening and validation only, not packet routing. Originating calls are connected to an external packet switch using X.75' trunks. The calling party number included in the X.75' trunk provided for a packet-mode call is the E.164 Directory Number identifying the GTD-5 EAX packet user. The Called Party Number can be in the X.121 or E.164 numbering plans. * In-Band Calling Number ID for Packet. X.25 Calling Number information may be included in the X.25 Call Request packet by the calling DTE. The GTD-5 EAX screens calls based on the calling party number in the X.25 Call Request in the same manner used for calling numbers received in a Q.931 SETUP message. If the DN passes screening, the call proceeds with the provided DN. If the DN fails screening, a default packet-mode Calling Number is used in the Call Request packet for delivery to the called party. * Fast Select. This feature provides for transferring up to 128 octets of user data during the setup, confirmation, and clearing phases of a BRI packet-mode call when using Unrestricted Fast Select, and the setup and clearing phases when using Restricted Fast Select, if the called party is subscribed to Fast Select Acceptance. * One-Way Logical Channels. By default, an ISDN user may use logical channels for incoming or outgoing calls. The GTD-5 EAX also allows an ISDN user to specify that logical channels for packet data be one-way originating or one-way terminating. * Incoming/Outgoing Calls Barred. The GTD-5 EAX allows an ISDN user to specify that incoming or outgoing packet mode calls are not allowed. * Non-Default Packet and Window Sizes. Values for the packet and window sizes for a given DN can be set to values other than the standard defaults (128 octet packet size and a window size of two) under administration control. Packet sizes of 128 and 256 octets and window sizes of 1-7 (modulo 8) are supported. The packet and window sizes may be different for each direction of transmission. Note the setting of the non-standard defaults to values other than a packet size of 128 octets and a window size of two requires the DN be subscribed to Flow Control Negotiation (FCN). * Flow Control Parameter Negotiation. The GTD-5 EAX allows the calling and called subscribers of a packet mode virtual call to negotiate the packet size and window size for the call using the X.25 Call Request and Call Acceptance messages. Negotiation allows different values in each direction of data transfer. The GTD-5 EAX allows the use of any supported window size and a packet size up to the maximum subscribed by the calling and called parties. * Throughput Class Negotiation. This feature allows the calling party, called party, and network to negotiate the throughput class for each direction of a packet mode virtual call. If a default value is not subscribed for the calling DN and D-channel type, an office default value of 9.6 kb/s is used. The GTD-5 EAX serving the calling party indicates that a throughput class lower than that requested or subscribed be used for a virtual call if the use of the requested/subscribed throughput class causes the calling interface to exceed its maximum allowed throughput. The GTD-5 EAX serving a called party or the called party terminal can specify a throughput class lower than that requested by the calling party. A lower throughput class must be used if the requested throughput class is not supported by the calling party or if the use of the requested throughput class causes the called party to exceed its maximum allowed throughput for the interface. * Transit Delay. The GTD-5 EAX accepts X.25 Transit Delay parameters provided by an ISDN CPE. * User Testing. To facilitate user testing, the GTD-5 EAX allows an ISDN CPE to place a packet-mode call using virtual facilities back to the same DN even if the calling DN is subscribed to Incoming Calls Barred. * Transit Network Identification. The GTD-5 EAX does not function as a transit network switch, so it is required to generate a Transit Network Identification Code (TNIC) as either an originating or terminating packet node. The GTD-5 EAX supports transport of a TNIC received in an incoming X.75' Call Connected packet or Clear Request packet if the Clear Request is the first response to the Call Request. * Call Identifier. The GTD-5 EAX serving an originating access packet user inserts a Call Identifier Utility into the outgoing X.75' Call Request packet. The Call Identifier Utility contains information concerning the identity of the calling ISDN user. The GTD-5 EAX serving a terminating packet user supports a receiving Call Identifier Utility in the X.75' Call Request packet. * Clearing Network Identification. The GTD-5 EAX supports the sending of the Clearing Network Identification Utility in an X.75' Clear Request packet when the call is prematurely cleared (that is, cleared without an X.25 Clear Request packet received from either the calling or called interface). The Stored Program Controlled Switch (SPCS) initiating the call clearing inserts the Clearing Network Identification Utility into the Clear Request, and the SPCS receiving the Clearing Network Identification Utility records the contents of the utility into maintenance reports associated with the call. * Clearing Subnetwork Identification. The GTD-5 EAX supports the sending of the Clearing Subnetwork Identification (CSI) Utility in an X.75' Clear Request packet when the call is prematurely cleared during the call setup or data transfer phases. That is, the call is cleared without an X.25 Clear Request packet received from either the calling or called interface. The SPCS initiating the call clearing inserts the Clearing Subnetwork Identification Utility into the Clear Request, and the SPCS receiving the Clearing Subnetwork Identification Utility records the contents of the utility into the CSI syndromes. * Transit Subnetwork Count. The GTD-5 EAX is capable of receiving an incoming X.75' Call request packet containing a Transmit Subnetwork Count Utility. The GTD-5 EAX inserts the Transit Subnetwork Count Utility in an outgoing X.75' Call Request packet with initial value of zero. * Closed User Groups (CUGs). A CUG can be created with the SET CUGP command to associate several DNs across the packet network to limit access to other parts of the network or to prevent other parts of the network from accessing the CUG. A DN can be assigned to one preferred CUG and up to 99 additional CUGs. Three types of CUGs are provided: o CUG. The basic CUG allows packet calls to be sent to or received from subscribers in the same CUG. o CUG with Outgoing Access (CUG/OA). CUG/OA allows packet calls to be originated to subscribers not in any CUG, to packet subscribers assigned to CUG with Incoming Access, or to subscribers with the indicated CUG included in their subscription list. o CUG with Incoming Access (CUG/IA). CUG/IA allows packet calls to be terminated if the call was received from a subscriber not in any CUG, from any other CUG subscribed by the called DN if CUG with Outgoing Access is indicated, or from a subscriber with the indicated CUG included in the terminating X.25 incoming call packet that is also subscribed to the terminating subscriber. BRI Packet features available in GTD-5 SVR 4000 and later releases. BRI Packet Closed User Groups (CUGs) is available in GTD-5 SVR 4001 and later releases. APPLICATIONS - ISDN BRI CPE Vendor-specific proprietary equipment limit the ability to provide features and services to the customers. GTD-5 ISDN BRI resolves this problem by providing an "open interface" that allow the customers to connect industry standard BRI CPE to their GTD-5 BRI digital subscriber lines. There are many advantages to using industry standard BRI CPE including standard interface, numerous BRI CPE vendors to choose from, integrated voice and data, PC "Plug and Play" capable, and higher speed data connections. APPLICATIONS - ISDN BRI DIGITAL CENTREX SERVICES Centrex features and services have been available for many years. However, these features were limited to analog lines or vendor-specific digital telephone instruments. Over the years, analog Centrex features have gained user acceptance. However, many user feel uncomfortable with the numerous feature access, account, and authorization codes that need to be keyed in to use analog Centrex features. Digital telephone sets made Centrex features easier to use. Feature buttons replaced the need to key in Centrex feature codes. However, most customer premise equipment (CPE) available to Centrex users have proprietary (non-standard) interfaces. These sets only work with the vendor's own switching system. They do not work on other vendor's switching systems. Many customers complained when they found out that a Centrex setup that they were familiar with using could not be replicated across town because the two locations are served by different vendor switching systems. GTD-5 ISDN BRI Digital Centrex solves both of these problems. First, ISDN BRI digital instruments are easy to use. Centrex features can be programmed on "feature button" soft keys. Users do not need to remember numerous Centrex feature codes. Second, GTD-5 ISDN BRI is compliant with National ISDN (NI2) standards. Any ISDN BRI customer premise equipment (CPE) that meets NI2 standards will work with the GTD-5. This allows customers to use the ISDN BRI equipment they are familiar with using. Your customers will gain from the numerous advantages and benefits that GTD-5 ISDN BRI Digital Centrex brings to them. * Operation of ISDN BRI Digital CENTREX features is consistent with current analog GTD-5 CENTREX features. * Customers can choose BRI phones and other CPE that meet their needs. * GTD-5 BRI Digital Centrex is integrated within the current GTD-5 EAX customer group structure, operations, provisioning, billing, maintenance, and administration. * Does not require a subscriber directory number change to upgrade analog Centrex customers to GTD-5 BRI Digital Centrex. Available in GTD-5 SVR 4000 and later releases. For additional feature availability information, contact your Lucent representative. For technical specifications see the GTD-5 CD ROM. APPLICATIONS - ISDN BRI INTERNET ACCESS The recent "explosion" of the Internet is providing people with instant access to information. However, many customers complain about the problems with accessing the Internet: * Waiting for Web sites to download large amounts of data (graphics, sound, animation, video) * Tying up the analog phone line (can't accept or make phone calls while browsing the Net) * Waiting for the analog modem to connect and synchronize With GTD-5 ISDN BRI, your customers can take advantage of: * Larger bandwidth than traditional analog modems * Second line availability * Faster call setup than traditional analog modems * Real 128Kbps, not pseudo 56Kbps Also, ISDN BRI Terminal Adapters (also known as ISDN Modems) are widely available through various computer and electronic retail and catalog outlets. Available in GTD-5 SVR 4000 and later releases. APPLICATIONS - ISDN BRI D-CHANNEL PACKET SERVICES Packet switched services allow Telus to provide "on-demand" data communications services to their customers. There are several applications for GTD-5 ISDN BRI D-Channel Packet services: Credit Card Validation - validations over analog lines can take 40 seconds or longer. If retailer has only one phone line, they can't accept calls during credit card validation (or vice versa). This could lead to the loss of sales if customers waiting in line decide to leave, or the retailer can't accept an incoming call from a potential new customer. Benefits with GTD-5 ISDN BRI D-Channel Packet: * Credit card validations up to 80% faster (seven seconds or less) * Incoming/outgoing calls are accepted during the credit card transaction Lottery Point Of Sale - Dedicated data facility access between a Lottery Point of Sale (POS) terminal and the Host Computer is inefficient. The number of transactions per hour vary greatly each day depending on: time of day, date of the next lottery drawing, and amount of the next lottery jackpot. Benefits with GTD-5 ISDN BRI D-Channel Packet: * D-Channel packet switched connection is only established during a transaction * Switched facilities are more cost-effective than dedicated facilities Available in GTD-5 SVR 4000 and later releases. APPLICATIONS - ISDN BRI TELECOMMUTING/HOME OFFICE Many factors are driving the increasing trend in telecommuting: * Low-cost, more powerful personal computers * Corporate trends: corporations without walls, balancing work and home life * Government mandates (such as Clean Air initiatives) GTD-5 ISDN BRI has several advantages for telecommuters when compared to analog lines: * Two connections (voice and data) over the same physical line * Place and receive telephone calls while accessing remote computer systems * Higher speed data connections: 64 Kbps, 128 Kbps with CPE two B-channel bonding * FAX and voice line can use the same Directory Number Available in GTD-5 SVR 4000 and later releases. APPLICATIONS - ISDN BRI VIDEO CONFERENCING Use of Video Conferencing is increasing due to the following factors: * Lower equipment costs * Corporate work groups are becoming more geographically distributed * Telecommuting is becoming more accepted Your customers can use GTD-5 ISDN BRI with industry standard video conferencing equipment to provide the following services: * Desktop Video Conferencing for Telecommuters * Video Conferencing with Application and Data Sharing * On-Demand Distance Learning Also, it is more cost effective to provide video conferencing services over ISDN BRI switched data facilities (pay when used) when compared to dedicated data access (monthly service charge). Available in GTD-5 SVR 4000 and later releases. OAM&P FEATURES - AUTO SPID Part Number: N/A This feature simplifies subscriber terminal installation by automatically providing a Service Provider Identifier (SPID). The Automated SPID Selection (Auto-SPID) capability automates the terminal initialization procedures by having the GTD-5 EAX send the SPID to the terminal, instead of having the user manually enter the SPID. Whenever possible, this service completely removes the user from the SPID selection process by having the terminal eliminate SPIDs that would be invalid. When only one possible SPID is valid for the terminal (that is, only one terminal is provisioned for the interface), the terminal automatically selects this SPID without user interaction. When the terminal receives multiple SPIDs that may be valid, subscriber interaction is needed from the terminal to select the correct SPID (that is, the terminal prompts the subscriber to select the correct DN). In either case, the terminal stores the selected SPID in non-volatile memory. The terminal uses the selected SPID to request initialization, to request parameter downloading (if supported), and to allow for future initializations. Available in GTD-5 SVR 4000 and later releases. OAM&P FEATURES - X.25 LOCAL CHARGING PREVENTION Part Number: N/A This feature allows an X.25 packet user to control when AMA charging is applied to the local ISDN user interface. Local charging prevention provides a user subscription option that prevents originating or terminating packet call charging at the local BRI interface. When enabled, the packet call is charged to the other packet user, or blocked if the other user also has subscribed to X.25 local charging prevention. Available in GTD-5 SVR 4000 and later releases. OAM&P FEATURES - BRI LINE MAINTENANCE Part Number: N/A BLU BRI line status control, monitoring, and reporting facilities are provided based on National ISDN specifications. GTD-5 EAX BRI DSL metallic tests are provided through the use of the Facility Test Unit (FTU) for base unit-equipped BRI lines and the Small Facility Test Unit (SFT) for RSU-equipped BRI lines. 4TEL ACCESS tests are also provided for BRI lines. A BRI Line Test Facility (BRTF) card provides line transmission performance testing. The BRTF offers the following functions: * Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) pattern source (transmits test patterns to a loop-around-connection point within the circuit under test) * PCM pattern trap (transmits test patterns to a loop-around connection point within the circuit under test) Bit Error Rate (BER) calculator (computes test pass/fail results) The BRTF has a firmware program that provides for digital testing of BRI lines; otherwise, it is physically the same as the Multipurpose Digital Service Card (MDSC, FB-16576). Up to five BRTFs may be equipped in the base unit. They can be used to test all BRI lines in the central office, whether in Time Switch and Peripheral Units (TCUs), RSUs, or RDTs. Each card provides up to eight test circuits (BRTCs), enabling the simultaneous testing of multiple lines. Test Network Termination 1 (NT1) devices may be equipped in the GTD-5 EAX. During BRI Line (BRIL) maintenance testing, switch based NT1s may be used in place of the customer's NT1 to help isolate faults and verify BRIL transmission performance. Switch based NT1s are metallically switched through the FTU's metallic test bus to the BRIL being tested. Available in GTD-5 SVR 4000 and later releases. OAM&P FEATURES - BRI PACKET INTRANETWORK BILLING Part Number: N/A This feature provides AMA reporting for intra-network packet data calls. Packet intra-network billing allows the GTD-5 EAX to provide per-call AMA recording for BRI packet calls between a GTD-5 EAX BRI user and another packet user on the same GTD-5 EAX or another ISDN switch in the same X.75' packet network. Packet usage charges can be billed to the originator or terminator based on a combination of subscription and user-provided X.25 utilities in the X.25 call setup request. Packet intra-network billing can be enabled/disabled on an X.75' trunk group basis. Billing can be enabled/disabled for packet calls on a per-DN basis. Available in GTD-5 SVR 4001 and later releases. OAM&P FEATURES - BRI REPORT Part Number: N/A This report provides a BRI subscriber with service traffic measurements, enabling the subscriber to observe specified BRI directory numbers. The selection is made by entering the directory numbers to be studied. Available in GTD-5 SVR 4000 and later releases. OAM&P FEATURES - RDT BASED BRI LINE MAINTENANCE Part Number: N/A Remote Digital Terminal (RDT)-based Basic Rate Interface (BRI) line maintenance is provided as specified Base Unit and RSU for BRI Line Unit (BLU) lines with the following exceptions: * On-demand and routine metallic testing of RDT BRI lines is limited to those capabilities provided by an external Remote Measurement Unit (RMU) located at the RDT. * The Test Network Termination 1 (NT1) feature is not supported. * Some Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) tests may differ from BLU-based operation because of differences in the implementation of the RDT manufacturer's BRI channel units and software. Available in GTD-5 SVR 4000 and later releases. OAM&P FEATURES - SINGLE AMA FOR INTRANETWORK MULTIVENDOR PACKET CALLS Part Number: N/A This capability provides a common interface for circuit-switched call AMA and AMA for intra-network packet calls. AMA recording for intra-network BRI packet data calls and circuit-switched voice or data calls are combined to the same AMA port. Available in GTD-5 SVR 4001 and later releases. OAM&P FEATURES - BRI TERMINAL PARAMENTER DOWNLOADING Part Number: N/A This feature allows the BRI subscriber to download parameters such as DNs from the GTD-5 EAX to the terminal, simplifying terminal installation. Terminal Parameter Downloading minimizes manual terminal programming at installation that can create service problems because of mismatches between the data in the switch and the terminal's subscriber interface. This feature minimizes the likelihood of error by ensuring that data installed in
