: Telephone Information:

: Chicago area local telephone service is provided by Ameritech and Centel.
: There are no "free" calls included with residential phone service. Calls
: within an (aproximate) 8 mile radius are untimed and cost about a nickel.
: Timed rates apply to calls in 8-15 mile, 15-40 mile and greater than 40
: mile zones in the Northeast Illinois LATA. 

: Domain Address Information:

: Electronic mail addresses of the form "user@sitename.domain" are known as
: Fully Qualified Domain Names.  The use of FQDN's means that your mail will
: be routed correctly and directly as soon as it reaches a smart host or 
: internet site.  Generally speaking, bang-path addressing (sitename!site2!
: site3!user) can be counted on to work only on locally connected networks or 
: short hop uucp paths.  Please use a domain style address when mailing to
: one of the sites above from outside the Chicago area.

: .chi.il.us Domain Information:

: Many of the sites listed above are members of the .chi.il.us mail domain,
: the email project of Uniforum Chicago, often referred to as the Clout
: Project.  This is administered by a group or volunteer computer professionals.
: Joining this (or any) domain will allow your computer site to use internet 
: style addressing, but you must still arrange a uucp, SLIP or similar
: connection between your machine and an internet host.  For information about 
: the Clout Project email to postmaster@clout.chi.il.us.  For information about
: uucp connections and internet hosts email the addresses listed above. More
: current info on the Clout Project is available on the Clout home page:
: http://www.wwa.com/clout/.
