Sorry for taking months to get around to posting this....
The short version is that "pdaxs"/techbooks is the most publicly
available system for Internet access in the Portland area. Information for
that system at the end of this message.
A slightly longer version is that there are quite a few Internet sites
out there that people don't advertise but did respond (Thanks!). If you
find that for some reason techbooks doesn't work for you, then you might
try posting to these groups and "ask around". Your mileage may vary.
==========================================================================
"pdaxs" operates at 1200 or 2400 baud at 8 data bits, no parity,
1 stop bit. The modems all support MNP-5 or lower. The main phone
number is (503) 220-0636, and there are currently seven other lines
behind it. Enter "bbs" when confronted with the menacing "login:"
prompt, then enter "new" to setup a new account.
"pdaxs" is free. If you'd like additional features, additional
time, or just want to support public access usenet, you're encouraged
to subscribe. "Green" subscribers pay $30/year and get 90 minutes a day
with Waffle, including access to all groups and file directories.
"Silver" subscribers pay $60/year ($20/3 months) and get a shell account,
download privileges, and more. "Gold" subscribers pay $120/year ($40/3
months) and get all the benefits of a silver subscription, plus full
access to the Internet, including ftp, telnet, Internet Relay Chat
(irc), and Multi-User Dungeon games (muds).
Having real problems? Call for support anytime at (503) 223-4245
(you'll get a machine if nobody's in the office), but we know UNIX
much better than Waffle, so we won't be much help on the fine points
of Waffle.
==========================================================================

Friendly users and admin, 6 dialin lines, there's no bbs, but for 6 dollars a month you get full access to the internet , a shell account (either ksh, csh, bash, and some others) and news (either tass, rn, nn, or tin). You get 60 minutes of access per day. For 12 a month, you get unlimited time. If you want one of the numbers, e-mail me at ethan@agora.rain.com (fast) or ethan.place@f470.n105.z1.fidonet.org (slow). -- | "May they all die beautifully!" |---| INet: ethan@agora.rain.com |----------| |------------| -Don Harvey |-------|---------| ethanplace@sma2.rain.com |------| |"All I need in life is sex, good food, and a| "If there were a devil, it would| | science fiction paperback." -Me |---------| be Rush Limbaugh!" -Me |------|
