Changes since last posting:

	Discounts are available for DEC ISVs/CSOs/etc.
	ISVNET notes files are available as news groups for
	ISVs/CSOs/etc.
	fileserv@dmc.com contains information about available
	news groups, the contents of the other file servers,
	etc.
        The latest DECUS Languages & Tools CDROM is available

DMConnection provides UUCP connections, domain registration,
Usenet NEWS feeds (partial or full), and other services to
customers requiring UUCP or interactive access to the internet
via UUCP in the New England area.

We automatically archive the following news groups:

	alt.sources
        biz.sco.sources
	comp.binaries.mac
	comp.sources.misc
	comp.sources.reviewed
	comp.sources.unix
	comp.sources.x
	vmsnet.sources

and have made these archives available via mail based archive
servers.

We also provide a number of speciality news groups, principally
gateways to various mailing lists of one form or another. 
Currently we are gatewaying:

	Desperado - a periodic news letter of great amusement.
	EJournal - a erudite journal on electronic
		   communications.
	Gopher - discussions of the Gopher software.
        MIME - a multimedia mail reader.
	Think-C - problems and solutions programming the Mac in
		  Think-C.

These are all available as newsgroups rooted in dmc.

In addition, for Digital Equipment Corporation ISV/CSO/etc. 3rd
party partners, we provide read only access to the contents of
the ISVNET notes files as news groups.  In order to receive a
feed of these news groups you must request the feed by sending a
message to postmaster@dmc.com from ISVNET.  These newsgroups are
also rooted in dmc.

We also make contents of the latest DECUS Languages & Tools CDROM 
available at all times for UUCP file transfer.

DMConnection will add gateways, archive servers, news groups, and
other services as requested by our customers.   We are evaluating
the cost/benefits of a direct connection to the Internet.  Stay
tuned for further information.

We currently have over 2Gb of on-line storage and 55Gb of near line 
storage.  The storage devices were supplied courtesy of American 
Digital Systems and their MasterDisk Optical Disk Library, 
MasterDisk, and MasterTape products.

Our modems are Telebit WorldBlazer modems which support V.32,
V.32bis, V.42, V.42bis, and PEP for the fastest possible
asynchronous data communnications.  The machines supporting 
this activity are all Digital Equipment Corporation VAX computers 
running VMS.  The UUCP and NEWS distribution implementation is 
provided by DECUS.

DMConnection provides a number of distinct types of accounts
depending upon your communications requirements.

1. Low Volume UUCP

   b. Includes 1 free hour of communication.
   c. $4.00 per hour beyond the first hour.

2. Moderate Volume UUCP

There is no charge for upgrading service (moving from low to

degrading service (moving from high to moderate or moderate to

We also offer interactive accounts for customers who do not wish
to bring up UUCP.  The cost is $10.00 per month and $5.00 per
hour for any and all interactive time.

There is a one time $20.00 registration fee which covers updating
the UUCP maps, setting up the account  for your host, etc. 
Payment for services is required in full upon receipt of invoice. 
Checks or money orders only.  Clients who prepay their accounts
receive a 10% discount on their account balance.  Members of one
or more of the following organizations receive a 25% increment to
their free communications time:

	Boston Computer Society
	DEC ISV/CSO/or other 3rd party organization.

Invoices are sent by electronic mail on the first of every month. 
Special arrangements need to be made if this form of billing is
not acceptable.

Once your account is set up you will receive the necessary login 
information by physical mail.  The registration form and terms
and  conditions follow.  To subscribe to DMConnection, please

DMConnection offers PUSHing data to customer sites instead of
requiring customers to PULL data from DMConnection.  For local
phone numbers, this service is offered free of charge.  For
numbers within the 508/617 area code, this service is provided
at a $12.00 per hour surcharge on top of any connection time. 
For all other numbers, this service is provided at a $16.00 per
hour surcharge on top of any connection time.

Unfortunately, DMConnection is not connected directly to the
Internet. Therefore we cannot act as an authoritative name server
in the Internet sense.  Clients wishing to establish their own
domains will be provided with the necessary forms for
establishing them through UUNET.  UUNET charges $35 for this
service.  DMConnection acts as the official bridge between UUNET
and DMConnection client domains.

DMConnection offers UUCP file transfer access to our MX mail
server archives.  We continue to offer and support our MX mail
servers.  For full details on the current offerings of the
DMConnection mail servers, send a message to:

	fileserv@dmc.com

with the body of the message being the single line:

help

This fileserver will also provide you with details on the newsgroups and
mailing lists available to you via DMConnection.
