- If
- a) you can SLIP you machine in or
- b) you already have an internet connection
-
- and you are interested in using either capability (which should save you
- money vs an overseas phone call), you might check out the possibility of
- setting up IRC.
-
- At any given time, 400 to 800 users are connected (most from the us but
- there are always people connected from canada, europe, austrailia, korea,
- japan, israel and a few I'm probably missing).
-
- Check alt.irc for more details (or mail me if you don't get alt.irc at your
- site).

- The Upholder of Truth I am not only ready to
- Upholder@uiuc.edu (BSD/ASCII mail) retract this, but also
- jar42733@sumter.cso.uiuc.edu (NeXT mail) deny I said anything. =)
- wi.4173@wizvax.methuen.ma.us (anon. mail) This is *NOT* CCSO's opinion.
