There's really no need for most people to have a national provider. Get an inexpensive flat-rate local ISP you really like and a personal 800 number from a LD carrier like MCI that points to your ISP's local number. Personal 800 number time charges are generally very low. Unless you intend to spend a whole lot of time on it, you'll probably do better that way than you would with a Netcom account. -- Tom Betz ----------- <http://www.pobox.com/~tbetz> ------ (914) 375-1510 -- tbetz@pobox.com | Now that the living outnumber the dead, | tbetz@panix.com -----------------+ I am one of many. -- Laurie Anderson +------------------ - The whole world is a beautiful place to play music. -- Jerry Garcia, 1969 -
