Try an info request e-mailed to: pagesat@pagesat.net.  Or you might call
Duane Dubay, PageSat's head of sales at 415-424-0384.

I've written some free utilities which will help you interface the PageSat
news feed to Waffle's news system, should you jump into this.  They are
DESQview compatible and will allow you to run the news feed on an already
very busy system with little impact, OR they'll allow you to utilize a
slow, old 286 that you cannot bring yourself to junking just yet.
