****************************************************************************** * * * The TerraDyne Fortell System Manual. * * ------------------------------------ * * * * Tried, Tested and Written by Number Six/Indie. * * ---------------------------------------------- * * * ****************************************************************************** Introduction. ------------- The TerraDyne Fortell System is a remote DTMF dial up allowing large scale testing of subscriber and business lines, there is a TerraDyne in every Central Exchange in every Town you would just have to scan for it. The System also allows users to "OverRide" busy lines, give status reports on dead lines and let the user know how/why the line was disconnected and if it was moved & all sorts of other goodies including the length of a line from central exchange to a specific number, its handy for testing numbers that connect to strange tones, clicks etc. I wrote this text a while back and kept updating it until it eventually died:( But it was only moved so I will scan it out again! All numbers are logged on the TerraDyne so it would be best to call it indirectly if possable, if not then use it during telco business hours, it really is a cool system I once dialed into it from one payfone to a dead payfone(There was NO Dialtone, NO display!) and it managed to fix it!! Strange anyway I will give the number and access code even though they are no longer alive just for informational purposes!

Well if you have managed to get your hands on a TerraDyne you should now be able to cause all sorts of havoc in your Area Code, try overiding a payphone while someone is using it! haha This has a tendancy to piss people off no end! Also If you have a local BBS and it's always busied out, well just kick em off and get on!, I personally don't agree with this as it would be better used if you had your line kept open by an operator, just ReCall to ya freind an get him to terrodyne ya!! o ooooooo oooo$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ ooo$$$$$$$$$$""$$"$""o$o$"" oo$$$$$$$"$"$o$$oo$$$$$$$$$"" oo$$$$$$""o$oo$$$$"o$"$$"$ oo$$$$$$$""o$$$$" " "$oo" o$$$$$$$oo$o$$"" $ o$$$$""$o$$$$ $$ $$"o$$$$" $$ "$""$ o ooo$$ooo "o $ $$$$$$$$$"" " $" " " o "o ""$$"o o" " o "o o"$ $ o o o$"" " " "o o"o o " $ " o$$$$$$$$$oo "o """ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$o o $$ $$$$$$" $$$$$$ o" o$$$$$" o " o"o "$$$$$oo$$$$$$oo " $ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ " $ " "$$$$$$" "$$$$$$ " o " "$$$$$$ $$$$$$ " $ " $$$$$$ $$$$$$ " o " $o " "$$$$$$ooo$$$$$$ " " $ " " "$$$$$$$$$$"" " " $ " " """"""" " " o$ " " o" " " "o o o " "o o " " o o o " " o o o o o " "BE SEEING YOU!"
