If you're familiar with CompuServe, GEnie, The Source, Delphi, etc., you know
that their rates (from $5 an hour and up) can add up to big bucks. There is now
a new network called Syntax Systems which is much less expensive than them. I
believe their current rate is $3.50 an hour for 300/1200 baud access in prime
time (evening). They offer many of the same services as the others, although
their business coverage lacks. They have CB, travel, shopping, news, weather,
sports, forums and clubs, a dating service, and more. They are somewhat newer
than the other services, but very noteworthy nonetheless. If you want more
information about them, here are some phone numbers I can give you:

Voice information: 1-800-426-7795 (24 hours)
Modem information: 1-800-426-3383 (300/1200 baud)

The modem information number also doubles as a small BBS, an interactive
forum where people interested in the service can leave and read messages
from others who subscribe to the service. There is also UD and email in that
area. It's quite interesting. It costs nothing to inquire, so it's worth a
shot.
