- I need quick answers to help me evaluate how I access particular
- online vendors. Currently I use an X.25 connection to Tymnet to
- get at Dialog, Dow Jones, and Telebase. We also access OCLC
- (group access) and Reuters via dial-up methods. I know that
- Dialog and Telebase are accessible through Internet, but are Dow
- Jones, OCLC and Reuters? I don't need to know the Telnet
- addresses (since I can't Telnet yet - access constraints). Are
- users saving significant amount of money using the Internet to
- access online vendors instead of Tymnet, etc.? How are you
- tracking the cost difference? Do you have end-users accessing
- vendors this way?

- Thanks in advance!
