- Close - that is indeed the old pricing. The new pricing (Effective
- november 1, 1992) is $2 one time registration on the Internet gateway
- and 30 cents per message per 5,000 characters.

- The Internet RoundTable doesn't exist. However two good places:
- the unix roundtable and the genie users' roundtable. Unix (the
- place that I manage) has two categories dedicated to internet-type
- issues and genie users has one topic mostly about pricing and
- general info.
