Well, the nodes that still have a BBS are free, and shouldn't require
anything other than your terminal program. 

 BC> Dialing into the library is my ONLY internet access. 

 BC> As the local BBSes shut down, I stuck with BBSNETS. 

 BC> There was one local one that was still up, but a combination of poor

Well, if I ever get mine back up, it'll be viewable just fine on a B&W
monitor.
