It is located in Tallin, Estonia. Its phone number is reachable using direct dialing +7 0142 422583. I have called it, lines are quite noisy, but usable. Modem is CCITT V.22 (1200 b/s), also CCITT V.21 is said to be available. There is, of course, auto-answer full 24 hours a day. BBS software is PCBoard (R) version 14.1/D running on some kind of PC klone. Its name is "EESTI BBS 1", command language is English, texts are at least in English, Estonian and Finnish. Sakari M.

If anyone does call, consider reporting back to us here, or perhaps downloading a bit of your session on line. My best wishes for a safe and happy holiday to all. The next issue of the Digest will be Tuesday morning, December 26, barring unforseen developments. PT]
