I'm not sure what services would be most appropriate, but until AOL gets
their Internet e-mail gateways in good working order, I say "pass" on AOL.
We've had bounces, and recently, long delays (with no error messages) when
sending "The Garret" mailing list from this site to AOL. News may be 
similarly affected as well.

Hmmm.  Daren Senn, I think.  There's a guy running a Linux system in
Capitola, if memory serves.  Daren, pardon my spelling of your name
(if I err), but if you're reading this, are you still around, and 
do you offer accounts to local users?  (Is Capitola close enough
to Monterey?)

Other folks down that way may be able to offer more site names,
and possibly some phone numbers. Grep the local UUCP maps, too,
if you have access to recent ones.
