Try again.  Works for me.  See below.

I used to be a Portal customer, but I found their menu system cumbersome.
They have their own "user friendly" menu system for reading and writing
netnews and mail; it doesn't look like a UNIX system, although it is
one underneath.

Uhm. How are you reading news? umd5.umd.edu allows you to connect to port 119 
and retrieve articles. This means that programs like TCP/Connect II, Nuntius 
and News Watcher can read news from this host as they are connecting to the 
News port as a client. I'm not sure how programs like rrn work, so it may not 
be possible with other apps.

Wouldn't that be nice?  If someone knows the definitive answer please post

Well, also, I just got news from AMIX that the service can, in fact, be
accessed via local phone calls from the USA and Europe (sorry no
details as to which countries are covered). Also, AMIX is for now
fairly limited as to which domains it covers (Object oriented
Programming being the main domain of activity).

Happy now?
Pierre.

I did not say it would be cheap for Your Highness to use their service
(although the original question came from somebody in the same phone
area code as AMIX. It will be cheap for him... :-) (and it would be
cheap for me. Nyak, nyak! :-)

What I'm saying is that at least one company is testing the market for
"very-small distribution of even-low-cost documents". As a consequence
too, anybody interested in the field, whether as a user or a
developper, should know about that venture, even if he happens to live
on the fringe of the galaxy :-) Does that explain enough why I would
post a pointer to AMIX to a world-wide medium?

Besides, this is only the initial phone call to get more
documentation.  They may be able to provide you quickly with a cheaper
computer access via Internet or any other of a myriad of networks. And
by now, they may even have access to the commercial internet.

You don't live in that remote a country, don't give up yet Darren :-)

Why don't you try AMIX. It's not on the net, but more of a bulletin
board, but that's a minor technicality at this point. AMIX is set up as
an information market. You can put documents up for sale, purchase
documents, put out consulting requests, etc... That seems to be what
you are looking for.

American Information Exchange Corporation. in the USA 800-395-AMIX,
elsewhere USA-415-856-1234.

(I have no links to AMIX, I'm not even a customer yet.)

Indeed. The Economist also had a book review on one of the Internet
