Summary: No local access to Greenville/Spartanburg, so more difficult.
Organization: California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 1992 20:49:30 GMT

My friend wants to read USENET news.  That's all.  No ftp, telnet
necessary.  He lives in Spartanburg, SC

Choice 1: Use dial-n-cerf-usa via a 1-800 number

	expensive!  $20 a month + ~$10/hr

Choice 2: Dial long-distance to Columbia, SC or possibly to NC, wherever
	  cheaper, probably ends up being cheaper than 1-800 stuff.

	Rock Concert Net $30/mo + long distance to NC

	Holonet in NC or Columbia, SC no information on prices.
	Any idea on holonet prices?

Choice 3: Compuserve

	  a. comes with internet access
          b. can use compuserve packet network to access The World.

	world is $5.00/mo + $2.00/hr + $5.60/hr Compuserve Packet Network
	so, $5.00/mo +  $7.60/hr

	I assume you need to be a Compuserve member to use the
	Compuserve Packet Network?  Any clue on additional compuserve costs?

I'm assuming there are no access sites around Spartanburg, Greenville, SC.
Is that correct?

Any other options to consider?

I'm not really sure what you mean by "public access". Are you implying
that there are places where the general public can just walk in and log on?
Such places exist in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland (telecottages),
but I've never heard of them anywhere else in the UK. If anyone knows
of any such service, please let me know.

In the meantime, I have compiled a list of companies offering internet
access for private individuals. These services are via subscription,
typically 10 pounds a month. If this is of use, then send me a mail
and I'll forward it to you.

Organization: Coffee R Us
Distribution: world
NNTP-Posting-Host: ai.cs.utexas.edu


I'm planning a trip to Europe next year, and am collecting information
on how to get Internet access in Europe (specifically, Germany and
Italy).  I'm looking for dialup services, ideally into Unix shell
accounts with telnet availability.  I'll be mobile the whole time, and
planning to connect at pay phones with my EC-modem-equipped notebook
and acoustic coupler; I may get an MNP10-equipped modem by the time I
leave, if my university installs some.

My main interest is telnet access, since high speed modem connects
over international lines and through an acoustic coupler are out of
the question.  The goal is to get as close to local loops as possible
to minimize interference, but my experience while traveling in
California this summer showed that acoustic coupled-connections over
small LD hops are quite manageable (although I'm not sure there is
equivalence to small LD hops in Europe).  I don't get much noise (it's
EC, after all), but the renegotiation delays are very aggravating, and
the occassional line drops can be very frustrating.

As a side note, I'm also interested in hearing of experiences with
using Stateside calling cards in Europe (I use Working Assets).  It
would make accounting for my calls to the taxman easier, but I have no
idea of how well it works.  If there is a lot of hassle to using these
cards in Europe, I'd rather just figure out how to arrange something
with the national PTT.

I've heard so many horror stories of using phones in Europe that I'm
almost tempted to just rent a celluar modem, but I find it hard to
believe that the telecomm systems are *that* bad on the other side of
the pond.  But just in case, does anyone Stateside rent such beasties
that are compliant with the European celluar nets?

The equipment is a Compaq LTE/Lite 25 notebook computer, Megahertz
96/96 V.32 FAX-modem (I'll upgrade to the V.32bis model as soon as
they release it---BTW, does anyone know if Microcom manufactures an
MNP10-compliant battery-powered pocket modem?), and Konexx acoustic
coupler (are there any better ones out there?  I like this one, but
I'm always on the lookout for better quality.)

First:  I know I'll get flamed for this.  Tough.

I'm faced with a very strange situation.  I'm currently going for two
promotions, either of which have a possibility of coming through.  Also, it
turns out that I may have a strong possibility of getting a better job out
of state.  Here's the angst:  What to decide?

If I take either of the local promotions, I'll get more money and stay where
I am, near family, friends, hobbies, etc.  If I take the out of state job, I'll
get much more money, but leave an area that I know.  Granted, the new area would
be great (mountains, etc.), but strange.

So, has anyone been in a similar situation with several prospects happening
simultaneously, not knowing if any will come through but knowing that several
may?  Any suggestions?

Oh, and "That's not angst, at least you have a job" is not what I'm looking
for, but if it makes you feel better to post that, have a blast.

Dave

believe in when noone else is? You want some pathetic sheep getting your
job? You stand up (alone) for what you believe in and you just get bulldozed

It certainly seems that a prepackaged way of life is limiting, paralyzing.
Although it is more difficult, painful, and sad I do not regret having nothing
permanant (and borrowed) to lean on.  The moments of clarity, although rare,
are sincere, poignant, and exilirating.  What is important, what is "true" 
changes with time.  So must I.
