- You might not want to trade per-char fees for per-minute fees,
- depending on how fast your modem is. However, for the price of the
- call there is the Cleveland Free-Net, (216) 368-8888 which provides
- both Internet mail and Usenet newsgroups (so you can read the TELECOM
- Digest either way) at no cost to you. There are also Free-Net systems
- in Youngstown OH and Peoria IL if those are closer or otherwise
- preferable to you.
-
- Combined with PC-Pursuit (30 off-peak hours of data LD for $30 --
- see the Digest archives) that might be an even better solution for
- you.

- [Moderator's Note: There are numerous other services available as well
- that while not free, are reasonably priced. Here in Chicago, both
- chinet and gagme accept public subscribers. There is also the Portal
- Communications Company in San Jose, and the nice thing about Portal is
- their direct connection to Sprintnet; if you subscribe to PC Pursuit
- then you can make an easy connection to Portal (@C PORTAL) at regular
- PC rates. And don't forget the Well as another possibility. PAT]
