 Hello Jeff,

 JG> It all depends what you're after and the time of day/night. It's
 JG> nowhere near as fast as Ozemail but then it's 1/5 of the hourly price
 JG> for the deal I signed on for ($1/hour, min $15/month).

 Just at the "browsing" stage. I have no intention of downloading
 great gobs of useless files at my expense. I'd leave that for
 my work account access :-)

 JG> As an example, last night it was down to 200 CPS on a 28.8k
 JG> connection. Other nights I've ftped files at 3000+ CPS.

 The first connect speed wont have much impact on a V32bis
 then... ;-)

 JG> Min $15/month AFAI know. Last month cost me $17 for 17 hours.
 
 Very reasonable.

 JG> They don't support OS/2 but I have no problems connecting with Warp's
 JG> DOIP via a slip connection with a .cmd file.

 I'll get back to you on that one. Did you write the cmd file
 yourself ?

 JG> They do support Windows 3.1, Win95, Macintosh and Linux.

 Well, I still have WfWg at home, so all is not lost. However, I
 shall state that I would prefer OS/2 support.
