C64 sceners on US partylines in the early 90's

I just came across a few MP3's that a phreaker recorded when he was calling partylines or setting up conference calls with stolen/hacked AT&T cards. I was wondering if something like that exists with C64 sceners talking, especially around the 1990-1992 timeframe. It would be really cool to hear those squeeky teenage voices rambling on about first releases and who's lame or elite!

Hopefully not... :)
But it was always cool as it was possible..
REMEMBER: There was a option to delete old messages..

I guess to answer your question;

I did never find such recordings, nor heard of any, but it would be a nice piece of historical document to actually find one.
I have heaps of logs from boards, hopefully able to present them when I find a way to cut/paste in C/G.

You think they're still on the hunt for us? ;)

And if it exists, it would be awesome to have the owner turn it into downloadable MP3's and save it for generations to come. (Someday they'll be used in classrooms when kids do a project of the history of cracking ;)

grin.. memories :P

I found a tape a year or two ago of DMI and myself tapping into an error in the sprint system which enabled to earsdrop on other calls.. you could hear the operator talking to the next caller after yourself and although you could only hear the operator on that call, every now and again they would stupidly repeat the calling card numbers or atleast large parts of it.. dont remember how many of these tapes we made, but it was a nice supplying of sprint cards to trade for mci's or at&ts especially to people who's lines were blacklisted by one or the other and not by sprint.

I laughed my ass of on the phrank calls we did to their operators to get them to hang up the line and/or when we were drunk :P

Which reminds i actually have another tape of us calling at&t to reactivate dead cards.. I dont know what was more funny.. hearing myself as a 14 year old swearing and using every trick I could imagine to get some poor at&t employee to help us out.. or that it actually worked at times :)

Looking back all the experience from those days actually were one great learning experience for me, it landed me my first real job (IT sales, 95% on the phone) on which I built my carreer actually :P

But.. no way in hell that i'll upload those during the next 40 years :P
I'm still happy I got away from the dutch telecom and postal systems with just a few warnings due to lack of proof :)

Sadly no vmb or partyline tapes, although DMI might have some since we always used the equiptment his brother built for us to record phonecalls. I'll hopefully remember to ask him next time i see him.

Another thought.. there must surely be a few of us out there who did keep their home answering machine messages on those awfull mini tapes.. I know we filled a lot of them when we where drunk :P

shit.. thanks for triggering those memories LC, I got a huge smile here right now :D

Ahhh, yep the good old days on those lines (1988-1992).

Pilgrim lines, 2600 line, 5159456500/6600/6700 etc...

Bod, Rebel, PWP, Narc (Westbam), Jade (NME), Solar, myself and heaps of Americans.

Was fun times - why setup a conference when you can take over an existing one ;)

Any recordings? please send me a PM. Would love to listen.

Did you have to say anything to setup a conferance call ?

If I remember, call AT&T, press the card # and # to dial..
Call a PBX, more pressing numbers, and then call the 700 XXX XXXX conference lines, and there you just pressed more numbers...

If know you had to talk to the operator at AT&T, but the changed their system.

There was multiple ways to setup conference calls, or even voicemail systems could be used (Meridian), the SCS&TRC guys would know this well, heheh :)

Or a multi-extension loop/bridge (aka poor man's conference).

"I am the one, Orgasmatron"? That sounds awfully familiar!

The main reason I'd like to hear some of these calls again is purely to see what the hell we were talking about. I remember hours and hours of being crammed into a phonebooth with Splatterhead, just talking to people, and I only vaguely remember what we talked about.

Jazzcat, 5159456500/6600/6700, those were the ones where you had to pick a room number, right? I knew them by heart back then, and occasionally I find an old note with card numbers on them, but I can't remember what was what...

Yeh you had to pick room numbers which would hold a maximum number of people. You could kick everyone out of the room by blasting a certain tone-frequency and stuff ;)

Also, private rooms for 1 on 1 action ;))

I remember when "Agent Steal" was doing some pretty nefarious and legally shady things which I still won't mention. At any rate, talking to him and a few other hacks around the nation about such things made me more than a bit nervous. Later when he got busted and turned State's Evidence I was regretting ever having spoken voice to him.

I also spoke voice to "Capt. Zap" (Ian Murphy) a few times back in what, 1985? 1986? and I know he recorded every word, he was paranoid like that.

The second, and fake "Mutant-X" used to always push us into conference calls, trolling for info he could feed to his fed friends no doubt.

Good times indeed. Here's what happened to us back when a we were caught accessing a #5ESS telephone switch switch by security for Nynex and our little discussion that ensued.

Was going thru some of the archives today and I guess I'll release this now that enough time has transpired. It's a call by me and a friend to Paris Hilton in which we attempt to educate her in how to secure her cellular phones and voice mail from being accessed by others, It's somewhat entertaining.

Audio quality isn't the greatest due to my buddy having a lack of audio fidelity skills.
