I'm an attmail customer. As a telex service, they can't be beat and
you should sign up with them for that alone. (Its *wonderful* to
get your telexes as e-mail instead of fighting with easylink or worse).

However, in my opinion, their uucp electronic mail service is not reasonably
priced and you might want to consider other alternatives for e-mail.

(If you think attmail is reasonably priced, convert the X cents per
short message into $/hour on a 2400 bps modem and see if you still
think its a good deal. If you send 5 line messages, you probably win.
If you send 100 line messages, it doesn't look that good)

Anyway, thats just one happy attmail customers opinion.
