The service is called Community Link, and is available in the metro area. There is an office in St. Paul (2550 Universiy Ave. W, Suite 161 South). THey also have a help desk in Omaha(or someplace) available about 3/4 time at (800) 645-4654. I think the number of the local office is 641-1286. The dial-in number is 370-9000. To use this service, you need a calling card number and associated PIN number. They lease terminals, or you can obtain software for pc's or mac's(I'm not sure of any others). My notes say they are using VT220-teletel (which probably contains some extensions from the French software.) If you already have the card and PIN numbers, you can call in and connect by typing three periods and an enter. When it asks, type the 14 digits of card+PIN. I haven't tried this service yet. I happened to call last week, and I still had the information handy. My understanding was that there was no charge unless you actually did something. I may be wrong on that, so caveat emptor. Finally, I have no idea if this is related to the recent announcement of directory information available on-line. -Dave saranen@epx.cis.umn.edu oops... I guess the number (in Omaha) for more information is (800) 678-5465.
