Message-ID: <12894@ur-cc.UUCP> Date: 22 Mar 91 04:06:13 GMT Sender: news@uhura.cc.rochester.edu Distribution: na Organization: University of Rochester, Rochester NY Lines: 13 I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but here goes... I'm wondering if there is any way that someone who lives in a private residence (i.e. not a university or business linked into the internet) can get an account so to be able to access internet. Is there a company that you can subscribe to? The ideal thing, I would think, would be a service to which you pay a monthly fee and they give you an 800 number which you can dial up with your modem which will get you into an internet-linked system. I'm not sure if this is relevant, but it would be in the New York City tri-state area. If anyone has any information, please email me. Thanks in advance... =-= Eric (esl1_ltd@uhura.cc.rochester.edu) =-=
