[reposted due to news screwup - sorry if you've seen it]

I am looking for a list of organizations that provide dialup Internet
access (besides PSI; I know about them).  I would like ppp access, but
that seems to be an expensive option, so regular tty access is
probably all I really want.  I am interested primarily in the New York
City / Westchester County region to avoid long-distance calls.

Any info would be appreciated, including pointers to better places to
post this question.  Send Email, unless you think other people would
like this info too.

Thanks

Hmm... would you be interested in Long distance calls if the ppp service
itself only charged a flat $13 per month?  Might still be cheaper than
usage-based ppp charges in NYC!

There is a periodic posting in news.answers that lists about 15-20 dial up
Internet service providers all across the US and Internationally.
Let me know if you can't find the posting, I have a copy of it
somewhere...

You want this: 

      The Public Dialup Internet Access List (PDIAL)

Archie says you can get it lots of places. One of them being:

	ftp.uu.net /usenet/news.answers/pdial.Z
