(deleted) Still, this is my biggest complaint with GEnie... they charge extra for 2400 baud service... which encourages me to stick with using 1200 baud over 2400 baud because of the savings. I am encouraged by AOL's policy regarding modem speeds..."the faster, the better" (granted, there probably aren't any 9600 telnet connections, but 2400 baud at $5 per hour is pretty good!) ============================================================================== == Chris Silverberg, WPI Box 719 ========= BBS Sysop: Main Street U.S.A. ===== == USENET: macman@wpi.wpi.edu ============ 2400 baud - (508) 832-7725 ======== == BITNET: macman@wpi.bitnet ============= Fido: 322/575 - Second Sight BBS == == GEnie: C.Silverberg ================== America Online: Silverberg ========
