<notice about PC-P rate increases deleted, most notable of which is a price
"cap" of 30-hours/month before they start charging per hour>

...well now, this will most _definately_ be of interest to Diversi-DIAL
operators and callers.  DDial is a software package for the Apple II line of
micros that allows CB-type conferences @ 7 lines per Apple... the main draw
being that the seperate DDial "stations" or sites can be linked together via
modem to make larger networks of callers... practically 99% of these networks
relying on PC-P to make them economically feasable.

That, and the fact that many many UN*X sites afford to stay connected to the
net via PC-P make this announcement very startling.  One would think if
customer-base growth and use and expanded "beyond their expectations", they'd
be making sooo much money it would cover the cost of expansion?

Hmm, maybe the old "what the market will bear" slogan rings true again...
