Internet access is globally inclusive, and The River is dedicating its resources first to global access. The River will continue investigating other forms of access as they become technically and financially feasible, but we believe telnet access provides us with the best way to make ourselves reachable by people from all over the world. A list of major Internet providers can be found in the reference section of any good book on the Internet. Check with your local library or bookstore. If you are involved in a university, access to the Internet is normally provided for faculty, staff and students, so check with your campus computing center.
Many businesses also offer their employees access to the Internet.
Ask your MIS or Human Resources department. Major online services such as AOL and CIS are also beginning to offer telnet functions. If your online service offers telnet capacity, you can get to The River from there. Check with your online service for details on how to use their implementation of telnet. As little as possible.
