		>>>> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE <<<<

Ddsw1.MCS.COM is proud to announce that it is joining the online 
INTERNET community within the next two to three weeks, providing 
the only public-access INTERNET point of presence in Chicagoland.

Ddsw1.MCS.COM, a system operated by Karl Denninger, is the premier
public-access site in the Chicagoland area for users who wish to have 
Usenet news and Internet electronic mail.  With the addition of online 
INTERNET services the full array of these capabilities will also be 
available to users.

Concurrent with this addition, expected to occur around the 8th of
February, the system fee structure will change.  The following will 
be available as of that time:

1)	FREE "bbs" access will remain available on the system, including
	access to a small subset of Usenet conferences as well as local
	groups.

2)	The current "contributor" shell account program will also
	remain, allowing users who do not need "online" access to the
	Internet a lower-cost access.  This service will include shell
	access, personal file storage, and full INTERNET electronic mail
	and Usenet News services.  This is an unlimited-time service
	rated on monthly, quarterly, or an annual basis.

3)	A new class of service, "LV Subscriber", will be added to the
	system.  This class of service is intended to be comparable in
	price to the "Contributor" account but with limited access time
	on a monthly basis with an hourly charge for overtime usage.
	This class of service will have full INTERNET privileges.

4)	A second new class of service, "Subscriber", will be added to
	the system.  This class of service provides full INTERNET access
	on an untimed basis, as well as higher disk quotas.

5)	A third new class of service, "Connector", will be added to the
	system and is intended for those who want newsfeeds or system 
	connectivity for non-personal use (systems which have users
	other than the personal owner, or those who want large volume
	connections).  This is a timed class of service.

DDSW1 will <DISCONTINUE> our free newsfeed and electronic mail service
for forwarding sites effective on the date that the Internet line
becomes available.  Those sites which wish to continue service must 
make arrangements with us to take a "Connector" account.

All forms of subscription account include the ability to connect to
Ddsw1.MCS.COM via either standard asynchronous protocols (terminal
emulation or UUCP for file transfer) as well as either SLIP or PPP.
Contact us for more details on these service enhancements.

INTERNET services to be offered will include "gopher", "archie", "irc",
FTP, and TELNET as well as additional services as they become available.

DDSW1.MCS.COM will also be reachable from the INTERNET for those who
wish to sign on using this method for any of the classes of service
(1-4) above.  Our gateway's IP address is 192.160.127.100 
("gateway.mcs.com") and will accept inbound connections.

Users who wish to obtain subscription information should log in on 
the interactive access number (312) 248-0900.  Forms for the Internet
classes of service will be available when the line is turned up.  
Forms for CONNECTOR and CONTRIBUTOR service classes are available now.

Further information is available by email from "karl@ddsw1.mcs.com".

MCSNet - taking you into tomorrow!
