Connect-USA offers you the opportunity to call these systems anytime day or
night for the low cost of $3.00 per hour from any city with a Connect-USA
or CompuServe access number (see access number list enclosed). Gateway
calls to the CompuServe network through other networks and WATTS numbers
are not supported.
Later in the year, Connect-USA will have access to and from Alaska via the
Motorola Alaska Network. At present, Canadian usage is not supported. Calls
from Hawaii are available through the DataLine BBS in Honolulu. Contact
DataLine for more details (808-735-0895 voice).
There is a monthly $10 account maintenance fee in addition to the $3.00 per
hour rate. A detailed statement showing the length of each call, the
destination, time called started, date of call and bps rate is uploaded to
each member in an E-Mail file on the Galaxy Information Network on
approximately the fifteenth of each month for the previous months calls.
Each Connect-USA member receives unlimited access to the Galaxy Information
Network including live chatting with other members, 20,000+ file library,
games, UPI daily news and many other features. The only cost to access
Galaxy is the $3.00 per hour Connect-USA charge.
Connect-USA offers two easy ways to pay for your Connect-USA account. You
can authorize us to debit your VISA/MasterCard or debit your checking
account.
Signing up for Connect-USA is easy! Simply make sure your printer is online
and loaded with paper, then run the enclosed program "CUSA.EXE". You will
be asked a few questions then your printer will print out your members
agreement. All you have to do then is sign it and mail it along with a
check for your $5.00 signup fee.
