I use Software Tool and Die in Brookline, MA (telnet to world.std.com and
login as new...I don't have the dialin number handy, but directory
assistance has a listing for the Software Tool and Die voice number...call
and ask them!
They are great....$5 per month ($2 per hr. connect time) or $20 per month
($1 per hour connect time after the initial 20 hrs...)

Hello,
For those of you who dial-in to a network or have purchased the services of
commercial network providers, I would appreciate some help with the
following
questions:
1. What provider do you use? What is the cost for subscription?
2. What is the configuration of your system?
3. What hardware and communications software do you use? Do you like the
communications software?
I'm just trying to find out how people connect to this list/the net, and
what
communications software they use/like. You can post to me and I can send a
summary to the list.
Thanks for the help.
