Here is the number and the introductory text from Spacelink.

First the number: (205) 895-0028 300/1200/2400 8N1

And now the introduction:

NASA SPACELINK BACKGROUND

NASA Spacelink runs on a Data General ECLIPSE MV-7800 minicomputer at the
NASA George C.  Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.  NASA
Spacelink software was developed and donated to NASA by the Data General
Corporation.  The system has a main memory of 14 megabytes (14 million
characters), and disk storage space for 708 megabytes.  It runs at 300,
1200 or 2400 baud.  Data word format is 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop
bit.  The system was made public in February, 1988.

Initial support for NASA Spacelink was provided by the Educational Affairs
Division at NASA Headquarters.  The NASA Spacelink data base is maintained
by the Public Services and Education Branch of the Marshall Space Flight
Center Public Affairs Office.  Operational support is provided by the
Information Systems Office at the Marshall Center.  Information on NASA
scientific projects and educational programs is provided to NASA Spacelink
by education specialists at NASA Headquarters and the NASA field centers.

While NASA understands that people from a wide variety of backgrounds will
use NASA Spacelink, the system is specifically designed for teachers.
Unlike bulletin board systems, NASA Spacelink does not provide for
interaction between callers.  However, it allows teachers and other
callers to leave questions and comments for NASA.
