In this text file you will learn how to setup different types
of teleconferences.  However, this file will not discuss 
bullshit features or menus that you could learn on your own ;)

I. Choosing a Provider

There are literally tons of companies that offer audio 
conferencing. Such as Att, Sprint, Qwest, j2, Raindance, 
Ilink, Verizon, Conference Center, and even Eintercall. 
There is a cupple of free ones out there two but they
will not set up an 800 number for you ;/

II. Frauding the Provider

A. Att
Good ole leet ATnTs. You can either set these up by beiging
or by credit card. To set them up by credit card go to 
http://www.att.com/conferencing/restools/index.html. To set
them up by beiging get a dial tone. Then dial an ANAC to get
the ANI and write it down. Now call 800-232-1234 and setup a
conference. It would typically be like this:

*call ANAC* *hang up* *write down number* *call 800-232-1234*
Operator: Hello at&t teleconference services this is sherry how may I help you?
You: Hi I would like to setup a teleconference.
Operator: Can I have your conference folder id?
You: Im sorry I do not have one of those this is my first time calling.
Operator: Oh, well then lets setup a folder.
Operator: What is you name?
You: My name is Mr. Lar Lar.
Operator: And what is you fone number?
You: My fone number is 123-123-1234(you know the ANI from the ANAC earlier).
Operator: What is your address?
You: I live on 1234 Phreak Lane in Columbus Indiana. My zip is 12345.
Operator: Ok is this gonna be a operator dialed or a dial in conference?
You: Dial in please.
Operator: How many people including yourself are gonna be calling in?
You: 4 but I would like to have auto port expansion on.
Operator: How long will the call last?
You: Uhm... about 5 hours..
Operator: Alright I have a 4 port conference for 5 hours with auto port 
expansion on.  I will call you back shortly to verify billing.
You: Ok bye.
*hang up* *wait* *wait* *ring* *ring* *pick up*
You: Hello?
Operator: Hi is Mr. Lar Lar there?
You: Yes your speaking to him.
Operator: Well this is at&t you conference dial in number is 800-123-1234. Your 
moderator code is 123456 and your participant code is 123455.
*write that down*
You: Ok thanks a lot!
Operator: Alright would you like a confirmation emailed or faxed to you?
You: No thanks.
Operator: Ok that is it.
You: Alright bye.
*grins* *hangs up the fone* *runs home to drop conf infro on irc*

They also have a java based (I _hate_ java) conference
manager where you can dial out, mute, and kick people at 
http://www.att.com/conferencemanager/.  

B. Verizon
A new service by verizon just came out its called verizon
conference connections. These stay up for a long time and
when you have quick start on you can use them as a voice
bridge. Just have your friends dial in whenever. You can
set these up by a credit card at http://www22.verizon.com/conferenceconnections/html/home.html.
Supposedly you can also beige these but I have never done it.
The dial in numbers for verizon are 8664412942 and 9727172043.
The only big downside to this is canucks can not dial into the
toll free number.

C. Conference Center
"Welcome to the conference center. Please enter your passcode
followed by the pound sign," said the hot automated operator.
I have heard that more then a million times. Anyways these
are mad easy to crack just dial 800-260-7078 or 800-930-9525.
They are six digit pins just keep trying. You will have a ton
of these in no time.  Except the company has been ripped off
so much lately they even have a operator monitoring at night
so these get shut down fast.

D. Raindance
These are awesome but a little harder to get. With a credit
card you can get one at http://www.raindaince.com. It has a
really nice web panel that even shows your ANI. The reason
they are a little harder to get is because they have a screwy
way of validating credit cards. Even the valid ones get turned
down a lot.  Another thing is never try signing up with an
anonymous email because you will get the same error as you
would if your card was declined.

E. Eintercall or Intercall
These are the same thing except one is a web conference the
other is an audio conference. These are very similar to the
Raindances. They seem to last longer too. You can set these
up on the fone by dialing 800-374-2441 and telling them you 
want to setup a reservation-less plus conference. You will 
need to have a fone line that you can sit by all day that 
will not lead back to you. Why you ask? Because they will
want to call you back :(

F. Sprint and Qwest
Sprint and Qwest are two very nice companies that offer 
teleconferencing. You can set these up at http://www.sprint.com
and http://www.qwest.com.  To set these up you will find a form
on there site where you request an audio conference.
They will eventually call you back and setup an account
with you. That is a major pain in the ass but its worth it. 
Be on a look out for more promotional accounts from sprint
those were mad fun.

G. Ilink
I do not why im mentioning this company because if  you do
not know how to set these up then you probably will not find
out. The URL to set these up is kept a secret. Either way
this is worth mentioning cause it's a great voice over IP 
conference service. They give you an 800 number that has
an ANI logging voice mail and an option to find the moderator.
One neat thing is the moderator can forward people that dial
in to different number or just not let the person
in at all. :)

H. j2
The only conference service I know of that has no dial in.
You _must_ use the web panel for this to dial out to you 
and all your parties.  It's a pain in the ass but neat. 
They also give you a fax and voice mail number. They will 
however shut these down for over usage. Can set these up
with a credit card at http://www.j2.com.

These were just examples of how to setup a conference with
a few of the many companies out there. The principal is all
the same though. You either bill them to a fone line, card
them, or crack them.  Another way is steal a companies
account and set one up but that does not happen very often. 

III. Dialing in the Conference
If your such a dumb shit that you do not understand this 
section then do us a favor and unplug your internet connection.

Btw I wanted to add Att conferences are _not_ to be confused
with alliance. Also alliance is pretty much dead and outdated
so I did not put infro on it in this file.
