I would REALLY like to see a side-by-side(-by-side(?)) comparison of 
CompuServe, Prodigy, and GEnie, as far as how much you spend for connect 
time, what you need to do to rack up surcharges, what services are 
available, connectivity to other nets (ie: Internet), and various other 
relative information.

I also have a question about CompuServe.  CompuServe mailed me something a 
few days ago that would allow me to connect for a while for free, with the 
Mac software included.  When I call this account, will I have to use my 
Mac software all the time, or would I be able to just connect to it with 
any term emulation?

Thanks in advance.
