Many on 3:800/1 (which has no Spirit Vipers). Failure to retrain and
subsequent dropouts, sometimes after a fair while online. If you want to do
comparitive testing, feel free:

Line numbers, modems and direct dial numbers for 3:800/1 as at 17th Aug 1996

Note that 3:800/1 goes off-line at 5:00am each morning and gets back on-line
shortly after 6:00am.
