MSCNet has only been : around for the last year or so. Chinet went it's own way about the same : time. Interaccess has been around a tad longer, I think, but I wouldn't : swear to it.

Jeff, I hate to burst your bubble about MCSnet only being aroung for the last year or so, but I have in my hand a receipt dated March 14, 1988 for a 6 month account from Macro Computer Solutins, Inc. (A.K.A. MCSnet). This was when I first joined the system, and though we've only had live internet for about the last year, rest assured that Karl has been running his system for more than 5 years. I don't know about any of the other internet providers in the Chicago area, but I can say that I've been very pleased with the service that Karl offers. His support and service are outstanding. Questions are quickly answered; problems are resolved right away. I just wanted to set the record straight. George -- gsladic@genesis.mcs.com
