Uplink Hints
How do I purge a system of Revelation?
1 of 5: You have all the tools you'll need.
2 of 5: OK, the systems are shown on the map -- but you still need the IP in your list to connect there. This is where the Tracker comes in handy.
3 of 5: Simply pluck the IPs from the tracker and feed your IP_Lookup. Now simply press the red square in the map and you can connect there.
4 of 5: Now you'll need to disinfect the system.
5 of 5: Drop Faith into the File server and run it (see Grabbing the Console for details). Repeat. Keep on doing it even if you seem to be overwhelmed. If there are any internal services machines in the list, save THEM. You may have time to wipe out one mainframe, though.
