Does anyone know of an annonymous FTP or telnet site that carries news/public
notices/other info from the FCC?  I tried e-mailing to a person whose 
e-mail address I got from one of the whois servers, but it keeps bouncing 
back to me.  Alternatively, does anyone know who I can contact at the FCC 
for this information?

Any help would be _greatly_ appreciated.

We ask users to read, then sign a statement to agree that they
will follow the appropriate-use guidelines.  The person who 'borrows'
your account does not read nor agree to sign the guideline.  We have
no recourse if that person uses your account inappropriately.  _You_
might loose your account, depending upon the results of a peer review.

The public access computer lab at Liverpool Public Library in Liverpool, NY is
now offering free internet access to patrons in the public access computer
lab. The access includes Telnet and FTP to sites anywhere on the Internet.
Internet mail access is available via Telnet thru the Cleveland Freenet and
other internet BBS's. All access is accomplished on Macintosh computers
running MacTCP and a suite of internet applications including NCSA Telnet,
Fetch (FTP), TurboGopher, WAISstation, and others. Multiple users on multiple
machines can access concurrently as the primary internet access is provided to
the network via a PSI LANdial account.

Users with an Onondaga County library card can spend up to 6 hours per week in
the lab with no cost for access. DOSmounter software and DataViz translators
allow IBM users to  FTP and convert software for their machines at home or
save captured text to a DOS formatted diskette in the Mac.

No, it's not normal for libraries to do this (yet) and I don't know of any
other towns that offer this service. If your local public library wants to get
involved at this level, they are welcome to call for insight on how to best
provide that service. 

Good luck to all of you in search of access.

Compuserve has the $8/month deal which is an unlimited time access
deal allowing use of 30-odd databases, on-line shopping, etc,
including the "study set" with encyclopedia.  Prodigy has a single
monthly rate ($15 or so?), and isn't as good as Compuserve.  They do
have a whizzy graphical interface, though.  They advertise these rates
as their low, low price.  I would lay money that Joe Computer User
thinks $8/month beats the rest of us.

Of course, what we really offer is what Compuserve is charging upwards
of $7/hour for -- NetNews/FTP (bigger than the Forums), IRC (bigger
and better than the CB simulator), multi-player games (I'm not really
familiar with Compuserve games, but there's just no chance they beat
network games) etc.

Compuserve et al. has the advantage of its own dialup network system,
whereas the rest of us have to rely on PCP (and the added cost
structure) to bring in the national market.  Compuserve et al. also
has glossier propaganda and bigger customer support staffs, a
box-stuffing deal with almost every modem seller in the world, and all
sorts of other superficial items.  They are pretty huge.

The Internet seems to have a couple of added disadvantages: lots of
the users are college undergraduates (in this country), and there is
this "Educational" stigma associated with the network.  The Internet
appears less "mature in tone" than Compuserve, and some people have
the idea that we're selling what should be a Government-controlled
free network.  Also, the Internet is known for amazing change, which
contributes toward a notion of instability.  I like to think of this
as an indication of flexibility; the Internet changes in many ways due
to popular demand, and I can easily change my system to suit my users.

There doesn't seem to be much public awareness of the Internet
compared to other services; I'm not sure how to counteract this, other
than putting a lot of money into advertising.

Don't despair over mere long-distance fees, there are alternatives:

1. PC-Pursuit lets you dial-in/dial-out locally between most major
cities for around $40/mo for 40 hrs. Access is limited to 6PM-6AM (is
that right? Maybe it's 7PM-7AM) but that's not very restrictive.

To get their local access numbers dial 1-800-546-1000 with a modem
(7E1), hit 3 <CR>'s, enter your area code and exchange. At the @ type
Mail<CR> PHONES <CR> PHONES <CR> (the last two are to the prompts USER
NAME and PASSWORD.) Their voice number (to set up an account) is
1-800-736-1130.

With an account you could then *PLUG WARNING* attach to us at
world.std.com with (this is the rough outline):

	Prompt			You type

	Terminal =		D1<CR>
	@			C D/MABOS/24,YOUR-ID<CR>
	PASSWORD =		YOUR-PASSWORD<CR>
	(some stuff then) OK	ATDT 7399753			(World #)

	(you should get our login prompt)

2. GDS from PSI also serves a few dozen cities and lets you dial to
telnet (from which you could, for example, connect to *PLUG WARNING*
world.std.com for the services you describe) for $39/mo for unlimited
access. Mail to gds-registration@psi.com or (voice) 1-703-620-6651.

For around $1/hour extra it's hardly worth fretting.

I do not know the connection strategy of halcyon, but NEARnet has penned a
rather substantial agreement with ANS, (the provider of the NSFnet infra-
structure hardware and management) to have ANS shuffle NEARnet's commercial
traffic over the same wires/equipment as the NSFnet.  It costs something
like $2K for a site to use this "commercial routing feature" of NEARnet's
service offering which I believe goes directly to ANS.  </rr>

Hello,

I'm looking for Internet access in the central NJ
area (908 area code).  Is there any company that
provides such a service?  Also, do they support SLIP/PPP
and leased line?

thanx,

bill
