The initial configuration will consist of 5 nodes, one each in Oslo, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Helsinki. The nodes are NORD-12 CPU's with 32K 16 bit Mos memory. Input/output devices consist of modem interfaces, tape reader and terminal interfaces for permanent or dial-up terminal connections. The communication lines are public leased lines, initially operated at 2400 baud, using synchronous technique.
The network's main objective is to provide easier access to on-line bibliographic data-bases for for numbers of the participating organisations.
A number of host-computers in the data-centra of the participants will be connected to the network.[1]
