I recently asked what people pay for their uucp connection. Here is a brief summary. The problem with these figures is that they do not tell you any- thing about the performance and service given by the uucp provider. Mine (which is quite expensive), for example, registered my domain at no cost, helped me with some initial problems, has many lines open and has a great uptime. Anyhow, here are the facts: - Hardly anyone in the US has volume charges anymore. - Online charges in the US and UK vary between US$1 and US$10 per hour. (I have also heard of some board in the UK that is supposed to be absolutely free.) - Some providers give fixed cost accounts (US$20 - US$70 per month). - Many people have to pay long-distance rates in addition, because their uucp provider is not in the area. - Someone responded from Isreal: This poor guy pays a monthly fee for every personal address. Yours, Martin
