If CompuServe is overkill, perhaps America Online or MCI Mail would be
within reason for her.

You omitted any information about her whereabouts.  There are several
public-access sites in metropolitan Chicago: off the top of my head I know
of city sites in Newtown, Belmont-Cragin, and Jefferson Park and suburban
systems in Wheeling, Schaumburg, Oak Lawn, Villa Park, and Lisle.  I can't
guess whether any are convenient local calls for her; you didn't even say
which continent she lives on.  (I'll make a bold assumption about the
planet.)
