PCPursuit hours are from 6 pm to 7 am weekdays and 24 hours on 
weekends and holidays; rates for times other than these run 
between $12 and $14 an hour.  They were supposed to have 2400 
baud available by the end of last month but this appears to have 
been delayed again.  The connections are excellent, better than
calling direct as a matter of fact.

The only real problem with PCP is that there aren't enough lines
available.  It can sometimes take up to an hour to get from your 
local Telenet host to the Telenet connection in the city you are 
calling.  

In addition to the $25 monthly fee there is also a $25 registration 
fee, both of which you must charge to a bank credit card.
Telenet's number is 800/835-3638.
