On the 21/12/96  00:52, Paul waffled to Dieter..

 Hello Paul,

 DM> I'm at about 1.5 minutes per day on average. I guess I could pay
 DM> for that, though how you would implement it could be tricky.

 PE> I'm not talking about how long you spend calling me each day!  That is
 PE> irrelevant.  What matters is how much it costs me to pull in echos you
 PE> read from Brisbane.  To calculate that, I need to know how many K, plus
 PE> the speed of *my* modem connection to Brisbane.
 
 Dunno. Telix log doesn't show file sizes - only transfer speeds.

 PE> P.S. If someone wants to get really keen with their internet
 PE> connection, you can get a full zone 1 feed of the international echos
 PE> and feed it to me. They only provide it as "all or nothing".
 
 DM> How so ? My internet account is essentially free but a
 DM> commercial company pays for the link.

 PE> Ok, first of all, I made a mistake about what I thought these people
 PE> were doing via the internet.  Secondly, I have asked in the sysop echo
 PE> what can be done via the internet.  BFN.  Paul.

 That would be interesting. Save myself $7.50 per month, just to
 speak to a bunch of fuckwits and a dog.

 Dieter
 

... I have a firm grip on reality. Now I can strangle it.
