Basically, you can consider Q-LINK to be a service that charges $3.60/hour.
Forget that advertising stuff about "basic" service", about all that allows
you to do is sit at the main menu without running up charges, and upload
software to Q. As for quality... well, adequate, but I'm thinking of changing
to something else, because there really isn't much programming-related stuff
on Q-LINK (besides the source code to Xmodem and Punter protocols, and a few
other small things like that).
