Suppose one has an IBM PC at home.  What is required (hardware & software)
in order to have access to either newsnet or electronic mail?

Does one just need a modem?  Do most major cities have a local phone
number from which one can access newsnet?

Please respond by email since I do not normally read from this news group.
