You might not want to do this.. there are a number of features "not available
to Canadian customers"
Also, when you convert the $5/hr US charges to the Cdn$ equivalent, it still
comes out less than the $9.50/hr that they are charging to Canadians.
Note that Compuserve has local Canadian numbers, without this Canadian
"surcharge". CIS also costs less at 300 & 2400 baud but 'more' at 1200 baud
(based on the fact that CIS charges the same for 2400 as 1200 and GEnie
charges the same for 300 & 1200, but extra for 2400. (confused yet? :-) )
