 As the calendar year rolls over to 1993, NETCOM enters it's 5th  
 year as a reliable provider of quality services in the California.
 It's customers include; large defense contractors, chip manufacturers,
 Oil Companies, Large Computer Manufacturers, insurance companies, 
 and investment companies.  NETCOM has proven to be a communication 
 leader in terms of low cost, high quality and reliable connectivity 
 around the clock, 7 days a week and 365 days a year.  

 Until now, it has not been economically feasible for small to
 midsize companies to make a direct Internet connection.  Traditional
 connections have required large capital expenditures for initial set up 
 fees and large recurring monthly service connection charges.  NETCOM 
 provides a low cost connection alternative that allows either a direct
 leased line or a dialup connection for less than $200.00 a month, 
 and a moderate set up fee.
 
 There are several ways to establish your connection.  If you are 
 considering an Internet connection or a News/Mail feed, please contact
 one of our account representatives by phone.  Your representative will be
 happy to discuss connection alternatives, equipment lease or purchases
 and network planning.

 If you are considering a personal account, you can register over the 
 voice line or via the guest account.  The guest account will not allow
 shell access, however, it will provide you with a menu driven environment
 that will allow you to register online.  Personal accounts can be activated 
 within 4 business hours if they are prepaid with VISA or MASTERCARD.

 To access the guest account, make sure that your communication settings
 are 8-1-N and use VT100 for a terminal emulator.  After you connect, 
 log in as "guest".  Remember, you must use lower case letters and you
 will not be asked for a password.  You can also log in via telnet by using
