Regarding domain name service: Are there any sites which provide this to
.COM sites (other than UUNET and UUPSI)?? Even a slight fee would be no 
problem, just as long as these restrictions didn't apply.

One thing about PSI that is a big drawback is the fact that you cannot get
an IP address with their HOST-DCS service. Each time you dial into one of
their POP's, you get assigned a temporary IP address. The result: No one can
TELNET/FTP to your site. It seems to be a trivial problem for them to 
reprogram their routers to know what POP each of their customers  is assigned
to and send any queries/connection requests to that POP when a connection is
requested to one of their customers. The worst that can happen is: NOT
RESPONDING - TIMED OUT.
