It's a magazine for "Telecommunications Hobbyists." Generally, just articles on how phones and phone systems work. Not nearly as break in oriented as TAP, but they discussed things like hunting around on ARPANET, TELENET, several private telephone networks, things on how Pay phones worked, etc... The name comes from the frequency of the tone used to signal on a long distance trunk or something like that (not much into that stuff). -Ron
