I _pay_ to read what's on this list. I was hoping that it would concern
Then I would humbly suggest that you drop whatever service provider is ripping you off by charging you for connect time, per-message, etc. and go with someone like Netcom, who charges a flat fee per month. Why pay for Compu$erve? It's one of the most expensive around. I pay to read what's on this list, too - but like Tim May and others, I got wise a while back and got an account with a service provider who charges me a flat fee for access. I would *never* use a service much that charged me per-hour - there are just too many out there who won't. Yes, I, too have a Compuserve account - I use it for about 10 minutes a month, usually for figuring out airline schedules and surfing Newsgrid. I've got this nifty expect(1) script gizmo that dials up Compu$erve, sucks off mail and Newsgrid, then drops the connection. I pay about $7 a month or so. I use Netcom for everything else, and I usually rack up around 4 hours a day on Netcom. I *still* only pay $18/month.
