What's WiscNet got that no one else has? WiscNet has $$$$. Our $$$$. No single individual has the $50k to buy the routing toys to distribute an internet feed in Milw, nor do they have the $30k to buy one year of connect time with (name net.service of your choice) The second thing 'we' are 'fighting' is this (silly|stupid|naieve|correct) idea that information should be free, or at least accessable. And at $2k a month, (or whatever) doesn't qualify as accessable. -- Marc Rassbach marcr@studsys.mscs.mu.edu If you take my advice, that MS-DOS - it's not marc@milestn.mil.wi.us is your problem, not mine! my problem! If it was said on UseNet, it must be true. Unix - It's a nice place to live, but you don't want to visit there.
