  Actually at COIL it's for unlimited connect time.  And it's $20/month.
 (We also have student discounts -- $16.50)

 SLIP or PPP is also $20/month and we are supporting up to 28.8Kbaud now.

  Our Deluxe package is $30, with this you get both a shell account and 
SLIP/PPP access.

  We have indeed finished setting up our T1 line (1.5Mb/sec!!!) and it's 
running smoothly. Things are FAST.

   We're installing the software to do this now that we have the 
bandwidth to support it.  Give me a few days to put the WWW server stuff 
together, but it's happening.  Shortly we will also be making FTP space 
available for people who need to set up anonymous FTP servers.

  We are also (now that our new server has arrived) contracting to start 
picking up ClariNews.

Our new phone numbers are:
				242-3824 (2400)
				242-3814 (14.4)
				242-3828 (28.8)
		 (it's 242-38-baud rate to make it simple)
