Close - that is indeed the old pricing.  The new pricing (Effective
november 1, 1992) is $2 one time registration on the Internet gateway 
and 30 cents per message per 5,000 characters.

The Internet RoundTable doesn't exist.  However two good places:
the unix roundtable and the genie users' roundtable.  Unix (the 
place that I manage) has two categories dedicated to internet-type
issues and genie users has one topic mostly about pricing and
general info.
