Portal is not as cheep as Mr. Laser would have you believe. Intrigued by the statement "Portal's rates are very low" I called up Portal through Telenet and got the prices. While it system does seem to have more features than Plink did it is also a bit more. There's a $20 signup fee along with a $14 monthly fee... On top of that there is a $2.50 an hour fee for Telenet's off-peak hours (after 6pm). Telenet's peak hour cost is like $5 or $10 depending. I will admit though a direct dialup or PC pursuit (though you get only 30 hrs/month) is a good deal. That's what I used to use when I connected to Plink. Just some 'additional' information before people start jumping in on something unknown. -- /John S.
