Depends on what you want.

Ddsw1.MCS.COM offers free access to the bbs system, which includes a good
smattering of Usenet conferences.  Full Usenet access is on a pay-for basis.

Infoplus did not have a full feed.  Therefore, you didn't see anywhere near
the entire mess that is called the net.  In fact, it was more like 1/20th of
the full feed going over there (I know, I fed Infoplus until he decided to
go offline recently).

Ddsw1.MCS.COM can be reached at (312) 248-0900 at 300-14.4kb.  Full Internet
(yes, the real thing) access will be available shortly.
