Summary: it works with uucp

I used PC pursuit over the weekend to tranfer data with uucp
to ihnp4, hao and gatech. I saw no data errors (or packet retransmissions
either. the line was quite clean) and the throughput was as good as normal
direct dial.

It's 1200/300 only, you can't get 2400 baud throughput. Then again,
it's a fixed cost no matter how long you are on the line.

The only real pain with pc-pursuit is that they will ONLY bill you with
a Visa or Mastercard. No checks, no purchase orders.

I expect to save about $6000 per year with pc pursuit (presuming
nothing changes fromt the current status)

If I could only get to northern New Jersey or Columbus, I save even more.
