Hello!
Does the term "looparound pairs" mean anything? I came across it in a
bit of fiction which takes place about 24 to 26 years ago, when the
I'net was still growing up. Google wasn't interested in the term. The
book had a good description, but I'm wondering if it is a real telco
term that swept past me.

And it is fiction. Not the famous true crime book which took place
five years later.

You might get better answers by googling on the phrase "loop around
test."

Is that the same as what I know as loopback?

I second the opinion of another poster who figures the terms refers to
some loopback testing. On a side note, how can a *true* crime book
actually take place five years *later*? I guess that would be loop
ahead :-)~

Hello!
Very true. Essentially the book, a work of fiction from the Doctor Who
series of novels takes place around 1981 or 1982, perhaps as late as
1983. It describes the usual behavior of hackers and phreaks, and even
how some of them went legit. It gets some of the facts wrong or muddied
concerning the hardware used by the heroes of the story, (which I
expected) but the ideas are good. However the true crime book I am
talking about took place in 1986 to 1987, that was "Cuckoo's Egg", with
Cliff Stoll, and he describes in detail why the ideas behind security
online was a myth then.
That was why I stated that my book, that brought me here to ask that
question, was not the more famous of the two.

And James, thank you. Your suggestion worked, and Google threw up
enough hits to answer the question properly.

It also raised an issue concerning computer hardware, that I shall take
up elsewhere.
