Subject: PC-Pursuit Port Statistic's Date: 06/29/89 Written by: PC-Pursuit Users ============================================================ Introduction: ============= The last 30 days of PC-Pursuit have been extremely controversial. Users and ex-users have demanded accurate statistics, and Telenet has provided us with very little. And the data that was provided is questionable. Well, here is some data that is guaranteed to be accurate and make Telenet scream. If you wish to update this data on your own, we will tell you how later in this text. The following chart consists of all the direct Telenet addresses of the PC-Pursuit city nodes and the total number of modems on each node. Here is what the data means: NJNEW/3 2011 .12 56 ! ! ! ! \-- Total Number of Modems in NJNEW ! ! ! \- Last Working Suffix of Address sequence. ! ! \- Direct Telenet Address Prefix. ! \--- Baud Rate of This Port is 300. \--------- Mnemonic. Please note that there are several perfectly legal ways to connect to a PC-Pursuit port such as NJNEW/3: Ways To Connect to NJNEW/3: 1) C D/NJNEW/3,PCP10000,<password> [HUNT] 2) C 2011,PCP10000,<password> [HUNT] 3) C 2011.10,PCP10000,<password> [NON HUNT] The first, is self explanatory. The second does the same thing as the first, only that it is slightly faster and gives the user much greater flexibility. The third is an example the flexibility, because a request is made to connect to the tenth, and only the tenth, modem on the NJNEW/3 port. By simply attempting to connect to every single modem in the 2011 chain, we were able to count the number of modems on each port and come up with the following charts which were extracted on June the twenty ninth of the year 1989: Rotary Direct Max.

I think the statistics basically speak for themselves. I am sure there will no doubt be hundreds of people who will not smile at the number of specific kinds of ports supported, not to mention the number of 'dead' or 'down' modems you will find when you verify the totals. Usually, 2% to perhaps 10% of the modems are 'dead' with specific ones repeatedly failing week after week. History Of This Collection: =========================== Almost a year ago a small selected group of devoted individuals got together to discuss problems with the PC- Pursuit Network, in the middle of our discussions a question was asked as to how the network really processes our calls. This was intended to help us assess SET? commands and other such matters. When the address hypothesis was offered we quickly set out to prove it. It was proved in about 3 minutes with the discovery of 2011 (First try was xxx1). The data has continually been collected and analyzed ever since, but until now, has never been mass released. ...
