I've got a quick question here and I am sure that someone out 

there will be able to give me an answer..

 

I am running a Spitfire Bulletin board and would like to make 

available to my callers some service like USA Today or NYSE.  I 

will be running OS\2 in about a week on a 386DX-40MHz with 8 Meg 

Ram.  What I have heard about getting either of those services is 

that you must get a leased line and you also need to have a 

a data ingestion program running in the background all the time 

importing the information into the bulletin board.  If anyone can 

shed some light on the situation I would appreciate it!  I would 

also like to know..

1) How to get ahold of USA Today or NYSE staff who are in charge 

of the services.

2) Approximately how much will this run me in $ a month?

3) Is there a program out there that will feed the data into a 

Spitfire BBS or will I have to have a conversion program made?

 

        Appreciate it!
