In response to Mr. Yangok at KAIST and others interested, there
is an information retrieval system called DIRECT-NET that has
information on software and hardware for IBM PC's and compatibles.
DIRECT-NET also has several free software packages on-line,
over 60 full-blown demonstration packages that are down-loadable,
Manufacturer information, Bulletin board, mail, etc...
I am not going to tell you how good DIRECT-NET is because I 
moonlight for them!  You may call the toll-free hotline for more
information. In California: 800-824-5526, Nationwide: 800-223-0822,
Direct: 805-495-0901

If you have your own Comm. Package, (or a standard term. type such
as vt52), you can call and ask for a free On-line session.

To be fair, there are others on the market.  You may want to try
"Ocean Data Systems" or the "Product Finder".
