- If this person has a way of getting an account with a Michigan mainframe,
- he might try checking into the MERIT/MichNET thing. There might be a local
- node in his area. I used to use this to call Compuserve and GEnie when
- I had accounts with them. The connection was limited to ASCII, so I couldn't
- download/upload files, but since there was a MERIT node in Houghton, and
- no GEnie or CIS node, I called these services through MERIT. CIS was free,
- GEnie was something like a couple cents per call charged through MERIT.
