Q-Link Accounts Made Easy ------------------------- by: Sir Hairy Legg/Panther Modernz Another Note: This is an info file. I do not advise using this info, but if you want to, what the hell? I can' stop you. Ok.. here's what you need: 1 Blank (un-used) Q-Link Disk 1 Q-Link Special Certificate Number 1 Visa/Mastercard (helps if it works) 1 Name/Address/Fone # Combonation Ok do it like this: Get your handy-dandy fone book out, and comb through it for something that looks like this: John O'Connor 58 Stuart Street (201)431-0180 Freehold Scribble something like that down. Dont just make up a name/address/fone combo, they'll all have to be for one person.. (discussed later..) Ok so now put in your disk, and strike this in: load"change access",8,1 (Take out your lame cartridges, Q-Link has protection..) Ok so it's loaded now right? Do this: Go to the access number part. Change the access number to something local to the guy's name/number you are using. (You can just make this one up.) Also change the modem type. Make it "other command driven modems." You see, when you logon to Q-Link, it transfers these stats over.. So if you wish to further cut-down on the chance of gettin traced, then do as I say. Ok now make a phone call. Dial up this number: 1-800-392-8200. Work your way into the system by doing various number presses for various info until you hit the operator. Then feed him/her this story: I just bought a Commodore 1670 modem and it said it came with free Q-Link software. I looked through the box and I was really interested in the idea of Q-Link, so I decided to try it out. I got to the part where it asked for some "Special Certificate Number" and I looked all around the box and couldn't find one anywhere.. They'll then proceed to ask for your name/fone/address if they haven't done so already. Then they'll check your info out. There are two (2) ways they can do this: 1) Put you on hold, dial directory assist, and ask for whoever's name on such-n-such a road. If they get the number you said, bingo. 2) Hang up on you, call you in 2 mins. The 1st is nothing if all is in order. The second however is impossiable. But never fear, some operators do things differantly, and some don't even check. Ok, so scratch down the number the guy/gal gives you. It'll look someing like this: 50-3991-1028,towels-reign Ok get that down say "Thanks alot!" and load the disk. Ok you'll get some thing like this: "Type commands to modem, hit F1 when connection is made.." Then you do your standard ATDTxxxxxxx. Fill the x's with your local Telenet dialup. (I think we can all figure out what that is, correct?) When you see the connect hit the F1 and go for it. It'll ask some bullshit questions, like Name and Address.. give it what you gave your friends at the 800 number. Then on method of payment strike in a card. Pop in the card # + experation when it asks. Credit-Calc'd cards work pretty well with Q as they don't check too well. So if all else fails use some from there. Also, the experation date makes NO differance.. for instance I always use 12/91 on all my cards.. it dosen't matter at all. Trust me, I know about these things. Hmm.. ok next it'll ask if you want to use like JackMeoff14 for a screen-name. (Handle). Of course you don't! Hit NO and put something good in. Then you're off to the races. Have fun! The only real effort needed to obtain free Q-Link accounts is coming up with an un-used disk.. I have one some of you may wish to make copies of. You can reach my devine self on this fine Bulletin Board: Tessier-Ashpool (908)269-9560 or.. The Sage's Hut (908)269-7042 Some people will trade quite a many good things (like Trw accounts!) for an account on Q-Link, so this info could prove usefull. Alzo.. if you do come across an un-used Q-Link disk, make a back-up! If you like Q-Link you will need many copies of the blank in order to obtain multiple accounts. Trust me, I know. Ok well this is the end. Turn off your buffer now lamer.
