 I'm about a third of the way through writing a "Beginner's Guide to
the Internet" to fill my users in on what's available over the
Internet.  (I have a long list of people who mentioned they were
interested in it about 2 months ago; sorry it's taking so long.)
I want to try to develop on the points that the Waite group's "Unix
Communications" hit upon, along with encorporate a number of other
things.  (And make it os-neutral..not Unix-specific, or any other.)

 Anyway, I want to include a section mentioning services & resources
that're available over the Internet *for a fee*. This doesn't mean
Internet service providers (e.g. PSI, UUnet, MSEN); rather, things
like services that you can telnet to (GenBank) or interact with in
some other way (Clarinet).  Are there very many?

 Thanks for any info or pointers.

Brendan
