Friday night, and fuck, this guy Laser outta 206 is saying I got him busted,
I don't know anything about it, ok? As far as Compaq goes, outta 219, Kent,
I'd just appreciate it, your information is messed.. <BEEP!> [The Phrack VMS

AT&T Links Up With GTE August 1, 1988
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AT&T is stepping up its efforts to boost revenues from telecommunications gear
by buying GTE's phone switch business. AT&T will become the leading equipment
supplier to GTE's phone companies, which are the main source of the
switch operations $500 million in revenues.
AT&T will take a 49% stake in a new company that will comprise GTE's switch
manufacturing operations in Illinois and a research and development facility in
Phoenix, Arizona. GTE, whose business employs 5,000, is counting on AT&T's
technical expertise to support its base of phone switching systems. It also
wants out of the phone equipment business. AT&T's main task; making the
switches capable of handling the massive voice and computer data transmission
requirements anticipated by GTE's phone companies over the next 15 years.
Neither partner disclosed financial terms of the joint venture. But AT&T will
own 80% of it by 1993 and 100% by 2003. Its management structure is not yet
decided. GTE has made similar moves in recent years that have ended in giving
full management control and ownership to its partners. Such deals include one
with West Germany's Siemens in communication transmission products and a second
with Japan's Fujitsu in office phone systems.

Is There A Doctor In The House? August 1, 1988
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It all started when I met him on a bridge in Texas. No one really understands
why he did it or why he chose that particular handle. He seems to have some
decent knowledge and would not have had much trouble reaching a high level of
notoriety. Unless there is more here than meets the eye.
Doc Holiday/Scott of 713 is an IMPOSTER!
He was doing a pretty good job pretending to be the original Doc Holiday. He
had researched all about him, including details concerning his recent bust for
COSMOS abuse, and created a framing story to explain how and why he now was
Scott instead of Robbie and how his family had moved from Tennessee to Texas.
The majority of the phreak/hack community bought the story and he would have
gone on unseen except for the return of some folks who had disappeared last
fall; Knight Lightning and Taran King. Upon hearing about this Doc Holiday in
713, they already suspected that he was bogus, and once they had spoken to him
they knew it was not the original Doc Holiday. To bring a hilarious end to
this charade they waited until they could contact the original Doc Holiday to
let him in on the exposure.
As destiny would have it, the real Doc Holiday was on vacation and happened to
end up spending a weekend in St. Louis, the weekend right after SummerCon '88.
So the three of them got together started Scott Holiday talking to further
incriminate himself and then let the REAL Doc Holiday introduce himself and
have the last laugh.
Scott Holiday was in shock at first and he tried to explain that he had a good
reason for doing it, but his mom got on the phone and he had to go.
After this incident, I talked to him voice, and he explained to me that he
enjoyed doing this, and it was "the biggest scam" he had ever pulled off,
except that you could argue that he did not really pull it off. Seeing as how
Scott is quite adept at the art of social engineering, he really had little to
no trouble convincing (for lack of a better word) people who did not know the
original Doc Holiday. However when he came up against the best, he failed the
test miserably.
The point of publicizing this incident is to document that people can be easily
fooled and deceit by phone phreaks is not limited to the phone companies. Keep
in mind that people are not necessarily whom they claim and in that lies the
greatest truth of all.

Canada Cancels The Underlord August 3, 1988
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I still Hack!"
The Underlord awoke on February 11, 1988 at 7:30 AM to the sound of his
doorbell. Moments later, his mother entered his room to inform him that there
were three men waiting to see him. She had a rather puzzled look on her face.
He threw on some clothes and ran downstairs to meet his fate head on. The "fat
man" showed him a search warrant and informed him that he was under arrest for
