Now, first off, I understand this is *not* the forum to ask this question,
and I *realize* that I am switching the topic...but I'm gonna do both,
anyway...

I have seen postings on local BBSs, return addresses, references, and
full descriptions of PC Persuit...however, I have *no idea* how to
access it from my locale. 

If someone would be so kind as to email me a brief synopsis of who 
to contact, how to access/make use of, etc. Also: is PC Persuit a 
non-descript entity like USEnet (i.e. composed of 100's of nodes
with no one central office) or is it a for-profit service?

Thanks to any and all respondents...
