Hmm. I pay $96 a year (= $8 a month) for unlimited access; as
long as I can keep my butt in the chair and my eyes open (6 year rates
are even better). Oh, and no startup fee. For this money I get:
Every shell known to Unix, plus a custom one.
E-mail (w/pine, elm, etc.)
Full newsfeed (w/tin, trn, tass, nn, rn, etc.)
IRC on our own server
Web pages and local server
10MB of disk (50MB hard quota w/1week grace)
9.1 GB mail spool (essentially unlimited) w/POP and IMAP servers
Personal FTP space
Lots of local /public files access
Compiler and full lib access
at and cron jobs
Pseudo-SLIP (TIA)
The Usual Net services (finger, archie, gopher, etc.)
Probably a bunch of other stuff I'm forgetting
Did I mention telnet account rates are cheaper than dialup?
Just curious, can anyone beat that?
