Note: currently this list only includes US sites.  Country code for
all phone numbers is "+1".

These are area codes local to the dialups.  Most dialups are also
accessible by services such as PC Pursuit ($30/month for 30 hours
off-peak 2400 bps access -- call 800-736-1130 for more information),
traditional long distance services, and of course telnet.


What The PDIAL Is
-----------------

This is a list of public access sites in the US offering dialup
outgoing Internet access (ftp, telnet, etc.).

It does *not* include public access USENET sites which don't provide
outgoing Internet access as well; see the nixpub (alt.bbs,comp.misc)
and NetPub (alt.bbs.lists) lists for those.

While I have included all sites for which I have information, this
list is most likely incomplete.  This information is provided as a
public service; accuracy is not guaranteed; use at your own risk.
Please send me any additions or corrections.


Sites
-----

Fees are for personal dialups with outgoing Internet access; most
sites have other classes of service with other rate structures.  Most
support email and netnews along with the listed services.

"Long distance: provided by user" means you need to use services such
as PC Pursuit or other long distance services.
