!   I think I might be able to help with the        !
!   Novosibirsk connection. As it happens, quite    !
!   apart from the Chatback Project (for children   !
!   with special needs in the UK) I also help out   !
!   with the IBM USSR Education Project -- which    !
!   is how I got to install modems in those         !
!   Moscow Schools, for the Blind and another for   !
!   Deaf Children.                                  !
!                                                   !
!   I can find a 2400 modem with MNP5 and the       !
!   ones we already use in Moscow won't synch if    !
!   we try them above 1200. Maybe the phone         !
!   engineers in Academgorodok keep their           !
!   strowger uniselectors cleaner than the Moscow   !
!   chaps - or maybe they have a digital            !
!   exchange.                                       !
!                                                   !
!   I'll write direct to Frank Topping on this,     !
!   and will also try to reach the Novosibirsk      !
!   BBS by using FidoNet crashmail.                 !
!                                                   !
