Sounds like the prices of the two services are converging. Glad to hear Genie is now accessible at 2400 baud. The Compuserve price is the same at any time of the day, but Genie used to charge very high prices during the daytime. Is is now accessable 24-hours at the price you quote? I'd also note that I find the Compuserve Navigator program (a batch session agent) of great utility in getting my money's worth out of CIS. Is there a comparable program available for Genie? And of course I am interested in seeing both services offer 9600 baud access now that there is a common hardware standard (V.32). Is this in the works?
