New page

<pre>
maybe you have already heard that
there exists a new magazine in the
american scene called rags which is,
in a way, very uncommon !

the authors of this magazine call
themselves the 'infamous modo',
a group composed of all kinds of
animals, eg. the cow, the parrot,
the pig, the giraffe, the fish etc.

the magazine itself consists of
all kind of rumours which hardly seem
to be true, but very funny !

the main attention in the charts-
section is centered on the bbs -and
the popularity-charts !
(also very funny indeed!)

but the reason, why we have directed
our attention on the modo-crew was
the sudden absence of the gang, which
lasted for a few weeks !

when the absence of the crew was
noted, the mamba< staff launched its
investigations to clear the rumours
which resulted from the absence !
these are the thrilling results of
our work : (+)

first it was said, the dog, who seems
to be one of the main-characters in
modo, went on vacations, but here is
the sensational truth :
some hours before the dog disappeared
he was seen by one of our agents !
dog was walking on a street in the
city of l.a. ! it was a sunny day,
and suddenly a big car drove in dog's
direction(with very high speed), the
car stopped about 2 meters in front
of the confused dog, a man with a big
net got out, and threw the net on the
yelling dog...
it was the local dog-catcher, bad
luck, dog !

but that wasn't the whole story, the
reason, why the dog was able to
release the new issue of 'rags' is
given here :
2 weeks after the sad event, the
barber/destiny, known as good friend
of dog, planned an exciting coup !!!
he built, together with the other
animals, a rescue squad !
they broke into the building, where
the dog was imprisoned, and rescued
him ! that's the whole story !!

we also tried to contact the dog for
a little statement concerning this
case ! (+)

we spared no pains to get his phone-
number, and we finally managed to get
him to the phone :

m : mamba
d : dog

m : dog, congratulation to your
escape of the terrible building!
please tell us some details about
your flight.

d : aehh, wuff, wau,wauwau, wuff
wuff aehh, wauwuffwau !

m : ahm, yes, of course, thank you !!

to my mind everybody has already
heard about those pbx's !
you can use them, in case you got a
valid code, to call through europe
and you even can make a telephone-
conference sometimes !!

so here's a short description of
a pbx; sent to us by an unknown
reader! here it goes...

(+)

a telephone exchange serving an
individual organization and having
connections to a public telephone
exchange is called a 'private branch
exchange (pbx). the pbx performs
a switching function by connecting
any extension in the private organ-
isation to an outside line. a pbx
is actually a private switch that
connects a group of telephones within
an individual organization.
calls placed outside this indiviual
group are connected to a telephone
company's central office switch
through trunks. a pbx may be operated

by an attendant from the private
organization or the switching system
may be done automatically. other
terms that are commonly used inter-
chngeably with pbx are : private
automatic branch exchange (pabx),
private automatic exchange (pax),
and computerized branch exchange(cbx)

although these terms were originally
used to identify specific switch
structures, today they are often used
as synonyms.

pbx's can use any of three basic
switching methods : step-by-step
(sxs), cross-bar (x-bar), and
computer controlled, to perform the
basic function of switching. however,
in addition to detecting calls and
establishing a transmission link
between 2 telephones, pbx's can do
much more.

the common control, often called a
central processing unit (cpu),
controls the switching matrix of a
pbx performs the same job as does an
operator at a manual switchboard or
a common control central office

switch. the cpu, however, gets its
instructions from the 'stored
program', which contains directions
for activities, such as detecting
calls, sending them over the best
avaiable route, and recording billing
information. these computerized
electronic switches are used to
perform routine, as well as unique,
functions that simply weren't
practical or even possible with
electromechanical switches.

just as in the public switched
network, pbx switches make connection
between instruments, or 'key

telephone sets'. we're all familiar
with key telephone sets, whether we
know them by name or not. they're
business telephones that have six
push-buttons keys lined up below the
dial - a red button marked 'hold'
and five buttons or lines with
flashing lights.

systems with pbxs and key sets have a
great deal of flexability in planning
for their needs because they can set
up their codes to accomplish the
functions needed in their particular
situations. in fact, the pbx can be
programmed so that each individual

extension within a system can take
advantage of features applicable
to its own business needs.

some of the features that are
available with pbxs and key systems
are : call transfer, which allows
internal or external calls to be
transfered from one telephone to any
other phone in the system;
automtic push-button signaling,
which indicates the status of all
phones in the system; camp on, in
which a call made to a busy phone
automatically waits until the line
is idle;

and internal and external conference
capabilities, which enables outside
callers to conference with several
inside users.

some features automatically handle
incoming telephone calls.
automatic call waiting not only
holds calls made to a busy extension
is free, but also signals the person
being called that a call is waiting
and informs the caller that he is on
hold. automatic call forwarding will
send calls to employees who are
temporarily in locations other than
their offices, provided they

'inform' the pbx where they can be
found. automtic call distribution
automatically send an incoming call
to the first extension that's not
busy -a useful feature for situations
in which any one of a group of
persons in the organization can
adequately respond to incoming calls.
another example is automatic call
back, which allows a caller who
reaches a busy line to ask the pbx
to return his or her call when the
line is free.

still other features provide services
such as night telephone answering,
telephone traffic monitoring, and
network or hot-line connection.
these examples are but a sample from
the features possible with
computerized pbxs !

------------------------------------

now a very brief description of how
to use and what to expect on a pbx.

------------------------------------

plus it !!!

basically, you call the pbx and you
will have to enter a code that can be
anywhere from 4 to 6 digits (note:
some pbxs do not require codes).
then you will hear a dial tone. from
here you would under normal
circumstances dial : 9+1 (or 0) +
npa-pre-suff, for long distance
dialing, or dial 8 for local dialing.

the most common use of the pbx is to
call 'alliance teleconferencing',
a teleconference service offered by
at&t. note: pbx codes are usually
very simple and usually 4 digits.
ex : 0000, 1111, 1234 etc. -return
