Message-ID: <13787@bunker.UUCP> Date: 4 Sep 90 02:15:16 GMT Sender: wtm@bunker.UUCP Reply-To: salive@dtoa1.dt.navy.mil (Skip Salive) Distribution: misc Organization: David Taylor Research Center, Bethesda, MD Lines: 23 Approved: wtm@bunker.UUCP Index Number: 10047 I'm retiring Friday, 8/31/90 and they tell me they will pull my password so that I will no longer have acess to misc.handicap and the other wonderful bulletin boards on USE.NET. They tell me I can Pay $1000 per year to be an outside subscriber. I told them That I could subscribe to a lot of magazines for $1K!!! What I would like to know is can I acess misc.handicap or USE.NET from Rockville, MD (outside District of Columbia) from my home computer with out bankrupting myself? FREE would be great! I'm a lucky (?) quad who has more than the usual mobility. If I'm unable to get back into the newsgroup, Best wishes to all. And remember our motto "Illigitami Non Carborundum!" [Note from Bill McGarry: Read my message about getting on Fidonet about 15 messages back. I keep a database of Fidonet BBS's that carry the ABLED conference. You can either contact me or call my BBS (the Handicap News BBS, 1-203-337-1607) where this database is searchable on-line.] Skip
