The Economic Bulletin Board operates on two 486/50 personal computers.  The
first PC provides access for 40 modem-based users, including all
300/1200/2400-only bps users.  The second PC handles six modem users as well as
10 Internet Telnet users.

Each PC has 8 megabytes of random access memory and a 340-megabyte hard disk
drive.  MS-DOS 6.0 is the operating system.

The EBB is configured using TBBS bulletin board software, a product of the
eSoft Corporation (303-699-6565).  We are using version 2.2 of the TBBS
software.  In addition, the TDBS option module is also used for some operations
on the bulletin board.

Telephone access to the EBB can be done either by modem or by Telnet on the
Internet.

For Internet Telnet access, our Telnet address is ebb.stat-usa.gov.

For dial-in service, all phone lines are in a rotary hunt group and roll over
to subsequent lines whenever a busy signal is detected.

If your modem does not support the V.32 protocol, it is recommended that you
*only* call the 202-482-3870 number.  If you are using a 9600bps modem or a
300/1200/2400 bps modem that supports V.32, it is recommended that you call
either 202-482-2167 or 202-482-2584.

The EBB's phone lines are equipped as follows:
