The following message was put on our board, The N.G.P.K. Shareware Board
(513-563-NGPK), by one of our members. We checked out the first two boards and
uploaded a couple of files and they seem perfectly normal. They are
USRobotics 9600 HST, and I would recommend that you only call them with an HST
or MNP error correction because of the large amount of line noise. (We only
got 300 CPS with Z-modem and a 14,400 HST) The other numbers were posted on
the board we called.

They are in English and welcome callers from the US. They are supportive
of the US troops over there. Here's the toll: 1 AM to 7 AM local time, the

AM to 5 PM, the rate goes to $3.19 for the first minute and $1.15 for each
additional. The 2nd least expensive time to call is between 5 PM and 1 AM,
when the rate is $2.39 for the first minute and 86 cents for each additional.
For more information on international boards, one source is Download
America BBS (203-676-1708). There's an international messaging area too,
where you can correspond with callers fromm Australia to Europe to the
Middle East to South America to Japan.
I hope you find this useful and if you decide to try one I'd be
interested on how you did.
