I just tried the number given for the BBS in Estonia. The thought occured
to me that given the country I was calling, I was probably dialing into
the KGB's office :). Still, in the spirit of the season, I gave it a shot.
 
Sprint (Dial 1): "The call you have attempted requires dedicated access
                  service. Please contact customer service for assistance."
 
ATT (10288):     "Direct Dial Service is available only to Moscow. For other
                  cities, please contact your operator."
 
MCI (10222):     "We're sorry. All International circuits are busy. Please
                  try your call again later."
 
Oh well. I assume I could have had an AT&T or Sprint Operator place
the call, but it _is_ Christmas Eve. :)
