As I said Netrail is better.  I get 6 MB of FTP and Web space which is
more than Mindspring.  I can Telnet into Netrail which you can't do at
Mindspring.  I never get a busy at any time which I sometimes did at
Mindspring.  I always log in at 28.8 which I never did at Mindspring.
I get all of the free software I need.  I don't get unlimited time but
I get 6 hours a day which is more than I ever used at Mindspring.

I am still waiting for someone to tell me what Mindspring offers that
is worth $13 a month more.
