For those looking for a less expensive, international online service, you might want to consider GEnie. I dumped CIS in favor of GEnie long ago, primarily due to the big $$$ delta between the two. GEnie Star*Services costs a flat $5.95 per month (or is that $4.95?) and for that you get unlimited mail privileges and a host of other standard features. The computer roundtables (forums, software libraries, etc) and other specialized areas of interest cost you $5.95 per hour (evenings/weekends/holidays) at 300/1200/2400 baud. And their automated telecomm package, Aladdin, is free and is available in PC, Atari ST, Mac and Amiga versions. It's worth a look, anyway. I can dig up the toll free 800 number which you can dial up for a free trial run if anyone wants it. BTW, I'm not affiliated with GEnie in any way... just a happy customer. --- ___________________________ John "HUTCH" Hutchinson _________________________ _________________ Fair Dinkum Technologies Member - IAAD _______________ ________________ "No worries, mate... it's from Fair Dinkum!" _______________ ____________ email: hutch@bellman.lanl.gov GEnie: FAIR-DINKUM _____________
