The only experience I have had with MCI was when I was looking for a new internet
provider- in addition to considering some local ones I had heard that MCI was
going to start offering individual SLIP/PPP accounts. Well, I called them, was
transferred to the person in charge of this who duely took my name, phone #,
address, etc. and they would get back to me. Weeks went by and- nothing. So I
called them again and basically went through the whole thing again and was told
I would be getting something in the mail.  Didn't hear back from them and at the
same time was getting calls from access providers wanting me to sign up with their
service. (How they got my name I don't know) I finally found a good local ISP that I
have a PPP account with so I can access the Web with Netscape. Never did hear back
from MCI-
