I've sent you our documentation and price list that we currently have 
online with mail.

We offer various low cost ways of getting access to the "Internet"
(in increasing order of cost):

	- our mailbox/login service (the subscription fee is actually
	  lower than for corresponding services in the US). Option
	  of UNIX shellΒ” or Menu driven interface. 

	- UUCP connections with mail and News, access to ftp via
	  our ftpmail server.

	- X.400 connections with mail and access to ftp via our
	  ftpmail server.

	- direct IP connections (dialup, X.25, leased lines).

For casual users I would recommend the first or second option. Our
dialup IP prices are currently flat rate and tend to be very cheap
for regular users, but rather high for an entry level user (we are
working on this). Small News feeds are very cheap, large ones
less so. All services are accessible via high speed modems and
X.25, local access in Zuerich and Basel.

There are various commercial and shareware packages for PC's and
Macs (some of them are very nice). We can supply you with some
documentation on them and in the case of the shareware packages
with diskettes with the software.

If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to contact us.
