This number is correct -- at least it's the number on my bill. I have
found AT&T Mail to be quite reliable, useful, and VERY inexpensive. It
is $30/year plus usage. My account is a "UNIX" account in that all
transactions are effected via uucp, where AT&T Mail is a "uucp
neighbor". I can't offer any experience about the interactive side of
the service.

I do remember that it was hell finding someone at that organization
who would set up an account.

[Moderator's Note: I've been a customer of AT&T Mail since 1986, and
MCI Mail since about 1983. My experience with AT&T Mail was the same
as yours. I had to almost beg them to set up the account. The person
in charge of that was always 'away from their desk', 'out to lunch',
'in a meeting', or 'on vacation'. You'd have thought I was a bill
collector trying to get money.  PAT]
