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. -- CHUUG/EUnet Switzerland Simon Poole Zweierstrasse 35 Tel: +41 1 291 45 80 CH-8004 Zuerich Fax: +41 1 291 46 42 poole@eunet.ch
