     ***  New SLIP/PPP Internet access in the Los Angeles area  ***

EarthLink Network is now offering inexpensive Internet access via dial-up
SLIP or PPP to the Los Angeles area.

SLIP and PPP stand for Serial Line Internet Protocol and Point to Point
Protocol. They are two of the most popular new methods for connecting to
the Internet. Instead of using a terminal program, such as Procomm or
Zterm, to type Unix commands into a host computer, with SLIP and PPP your
computer is connected directly to the Net. SLIP and PPP allows you to use
popular window- and icon-based software. 

You don't have to learn Unix to navigate the Internet anymore.

Upon signing up with EarthLink Network, you will receive the "Internet
Starter Kit" for Windows or Macintosh, which includes all the information
and software you need to get going with SLIP/PPP access, including the
following:
