Originally was based on X.25 network of VNIIPAS and SFMT,  later also use Relcom/Demos and Sprint, finally Sovam Teleport

For national access they used multiple X.25 networks.
It was also uucp based with bbs-style conference access, later migrated to TCP/IP. From 1993 - commercial provider.
It was bought by Sovam Teleport in 1998
