There is a revitalized interest in T/S telecommunications recently. Westridge modems and modem boards are available at very moderate prices. MTERM II enhancements and new advanced software is available for all T/S computers. An expanded manual for MTERM II has cleared up many questions.
And…for those who dare to go farther…for those who aren’t satisfied just to call a bulletin board or Compuserve…there is the HACKER’S HANDBOOK!
The HACKER’S HANDBOOK is written by Hugo Cornwall (an alias?) of England. In this book, Hugo goes into detail of what goes on in the mind of a true “hacker”, one who revels in the ability to break into the most secure computer systems. He starts in very simple terms, and describes the subject in language everyone can understand.
This book is a very complementary one to “The Inner Circle”, written by Bill Landreth of the famous “414s”.
Although this book was written in England, it goes into great detail of the American system of telecommunications. Filled with appendices, HACKER’S HANDBOOK is one great reference manual to keep beside your modem. I couldn’t put it down! I read it every chance I got until I finished the entire book. And I find myself refering to it whenever I try a new service.
HACKER’S HANDBOOK is a definite must for any modem-crazed computerist, since it is not a machine-specific book. Beware…if you buy a copy, and your friends see it, it won’t be in your hands for long.
HACKER’S HANDBOOK belongs on any computer bookshelf, right beside your owner’s manual. That is, AFTER you read it all!
