Cyphertentacles and Extropiates, Here's a convenient list of the latest Netcom sites, which span the U.S. I've been happily using it (well, they changed to a new emacs yesterday and now my autowrap doesn't work....I hate having to spend a couple of hours on such a trivial matter) for a year and a half and I conservatively estimate I've influenced at least 30 people to sign up for it....too bad I don't get any usage credits for it. The best things about it: flat monthly fee ($17.50), unlimited connect time, full range of services (much better than most universities have, folks tell me), and--best of all--your Netcom account won't change when you change jobs! And posting with Netcom presumably won't run the risk of angering your employer. I'm thrilled that Netcom is expanding so rapidly. --Tim Newsgroups: netcom.general,co.general,ba.internet,alt.internet.access.wanted From: glee@netcom.com (Glee Harrah Cady) Subject: Netcom adds access in Denver area Distribution: netcom,usa Date: Thu, 11 Nov 1993 17:22:36 GMT NETCOM On-line Communication Services, Incorporated is pleased to announce the expansion of the NETCOM backbone into the Denver, CO metropolitan area.
