- Thats your opinion. They don't cater to the shell happy, v32bis or
- nothing crowd. They too told me that 14.4 was coming, missed the
- deadline due to technical problems, and refused to charge me until
- this year! ( I joined in October of 92 )

- Mondo publicizes Vox because it espouses and encourages alternative
- areas of thought. Hackers. lawyers, journalists and anyone else who
- can dial or telnet in feeds the lively forums.

- Again, did you ask them about the overcharge? I don't think that these
- guys are going out of their way to "weasel" you out of thirty dollars.
- What question did you ask? You sound awfully vague to launch such
- a vivid flame against the Vox folks..
-
- And yes, they are moving to new offices, yes they are getting fractional
- T1, yes they are getting v32bis modems and more dialup lines too.
-
- .. these opinions are mine.. only mine..
