Thank's!

I tried and it works ok :-)

Parameters seem to be the ones I have been using with Mapserver. I do not understand the mathematics myself but luckily it is not necessary. Just use correct parameters.

There are more parameter sets around and that's actually the reason why Proj4 comes or at least used to come without any parameters because none of the sets was authorized. The results of these transformations are rather close and accurate to about one meter.  You can read also http://latuviitta.org/documents/YKJ-TM35FIN_muunnos_ogr2ogr_cs2cs.txt (in Finnish, I suppose it is not a problem for you).
