Come on, quit bellyaching.  Compuserve cost nothing to join, has no monthy
fees, and has lots of phone numbers to avoid extra cost charges that computer
connection links like TymNet wants to add.  Most modems include applications.

Even if the only thing you do is join to download WB 1.3.2, its not going to
hurt that bad.  A direct connect with a 2400 baud modem and Quick-B protocol
gives about 60 kbytes per dollar.  Other protocols are about 40 kbytes per
dollar.  Cut the numbers in half for a 1200 baud modem.

But, I must agree that the Commodore solution does not help the non American
customers.
