I KNOW this has to be a FAQ. My mom works at a community college without any
sort of connection to the outside world, and wants to get connected to the
outside world at minimum cost.

I think all they really would need is e-mail connectivity. I doubt they would
pay the cost for full-bore Internet access, nor would they really use the 
added capability.

Anyway, the guy who's supposed to be getting them connected is not making
progress. I figure, I'm connected to the net, so I can find out faster than he
can by phone.

SO......

How does one get one's machine hooked up to BITNET?
