Multiple (3 at the moment) 2400 baud phone lines; 24 hour per day availability; mucho disk space (~600MB); most newsgroups (we don't get alt.* yet - anybody?); available through the PC Pursuit network (under 202, while it's still cheap); plenty of memory for any software development (10MB); GNU Emacs; 3 C compilers (pcc, vcc, gcc); and special for the folks who don't believe in Ada on UNIX, the Verdix Ada Development System - VADS. Kermit sources, the IBM PC Free Library, and other random sources. $25/month gets you 10 hours Connect, 1 hour CPU, and 1/2 MB disk quota.
