I just tried sending mail to my bix address and it didn't go through. When I contacted BIX about it, they told me that it was necessary to subscribe to the services of dasnet in order to send/receive e-mail from/to the net. In addition, for this service, there is a $33.50 subscription fee, plus a $4.50/month service charge, _PLUS_ you have to pay 32 cents for every message that you send OR that you _receive_, and that is only for the first 1000 characters; there is an extra fee for each additional 1000 chars. Furthermore, they reserve the right to edit your messages, should they deem it necessary (eg- due to illegal contents, copyright violations, storage space restrictions), etc. Anyone know of a less expensive means of accessing the net indirectly? -- ********************************************************************** Robert D.
