To any and all who are curious: Here is a collection of responses that I received regarding my question about obtaining a personal internet connection. I've abandoned that particular quest until some rich relative dies or personal internet connections become more common. The following letters contain some information (mostly depressing) about getting an internet connection and also other info about various new online services (the next best thing). This collection is rather long (1400+ lines) and therefore belongs in the report directory. Note, this is a _collection_ of the responses, not really a report. Of course Info-Mac isn't really a _digest_ either! ;) +++++++ Responses follow ++++++++++ From: RON WELKER <welker@gtewd.mtv.gsc.gte.com> Reply-To: welker@gtewd.mtv.gsc.gte.com To: gfink@relay.nswc.navy.mil Cc: welker@gtewd.mtv.gsc.gte.com Message-Id: <00966456.1D9D1FC0.31538@gtewd> Subject: Internet connection Status: R About the Internet link. There is a company here in northern California, NETCOM that provides what you'd like to do. I bought MacSLIP, and with MacTCP, I got a 'slip account' from Netcom. I have a V.32bis modem, and so do they, so I always get a 14.4Kbps connection. MacSlip is a control panel util that's easy to set up and just hit the connect button to dial them up. After the handshaking, my machine is 'directly on the Internet'! For an account on Netcom, I pay $19.50 per month. For slip access, there is an additional charge of $2.00 per hour, which ain't that bad. The basic $19.50 also gets me an account on their U*ix system with 5Mb of free disk space (above that, there's a charge, so I keep it below that). The setup fee was $50.00, whereas the basic setup is $37.50. The performance (due to data compression in the modems) is really decent. You can check me out if you have access to a U*ix machine that can do an NSLOOKUP, lookup WELKER.SLIP.NETCOM.COM and you should get my Internet address, 192.187.134.21. That's my Mac IIFx at home (although it's not on most of the time, so mail to that machine can be a bit problematic depending on how long your server is willing to try, and my frequency of dialing in. If I get a chance tonight, I'll send you some mail using LeeMail from my Mac to show you. I don't know your location, so I don't know what might be available in your area, but if you're in southern California, you can contact CERF, they can provide the same kind of service. I don't know what their rates are, but I'd imagine it wouldn't be too out of line with what Netcom charges me, so my figures might give you a ballpark idea. Actually tho, the functionality is not the same as you'd get if you had a leased line. That (here) runs $200 to $300 per month (I can get that from either Netcom or BARRnet) plus an installation fee of around $1500. You can get News tho, if you can find someone to provide you a news feed or News client access (SOL.COLUMBIA.EDU used to allow it, I don't know if they still do or not). There are several News readers, one using UUCP that I haven't used, Nuntius (free), TheNews (shareware) and NewsWatch (I believe is shareware). Since I run the system (network and large VAX cluster) here at work, I set use it for my feed, but it's not open to the public. So News isn't a problem for me. I do read it at home tho. I also use NCSA Telnet v2.5 that came with MacSLIP and that works like a champ (but use CSLIP if your provider can), and for FTP I use Fetch (free). If you have a POP server at work, you can also use Eudora and read your mail at home on the Mac without logging in there to do it (providing your Navy gateway/routers will allow the the traffic thru). Sure is neat tho to click 'connect', wait a minute and access the files on SUMEX-AIM.STANFORD.EDU (among other places) directly; saves a bit of hassle you have if you have to ftp a file to a host, get it thru something to the Mac to take home or use at work (course, at work my Mac has an Ethernet card, so getting a file for work is almost trivial too.) Hope this helps, I get a lot of use out of it, and it looks like I'll be retiring from here in a month or so, so it'll REALLY come in handy. I'd sure hate to loose the contact with the Internet, particularly the Digest. One aside, I also have ARA (Apple Remote Access) at home, and a LanRover here at work, so I can also establish an async AppleTalk connection, and MacTCP runs just fine under it with a FastPath to provide the address and unpacketizing and packetizing. The fact that I'm running TCP/IP under AppleTalk is transparent, the speed isn't much different, but I can also access my Mac directly, using Appleshare with System 7, as well as the other servers at work. I got the Netcom account tho, for two reasons; I don't like to use company facilities for personal use, and it also lets me investigate TCP/IP problems from outside, which can be a big help. But, like I said, with an early retirement pending, it'll get a lot more use and be a lot more valuable to me. Sorry for the lenght of this sucker just to give you a couple of answers, I sometimes get carried away.

The phone company and such aren't going to jump in and throw away millions of miles of copper. When you run Ethernet at a site, that stuff costs a lot more than copper. I'm sure if people here at Tech were charged for Ethernet to their office like they get phone charges, lots of people would say "no way! I'm not paying *that* much". Instead the stupendous costs get buried in the overhead. I think this whole question is covered in news.newusers.questions and in the FAQ's for many other newsgroups. Everybody asks this question when they first get on USENET, and the answer is it isn't nearly as simple or as cheap as you think. You should talk to some net.gods at your site. USENET is a very inefficient way to deal with these kinds of questions. But basically, think about it for a second now. What's the fastest you can get these days over a voice-phone line? 14.4kbits/sec. A basic T1 link between two medium-sized sites uses 24 phone lines. not voice-grade lines, but the more expensive data-grade line with premium-priced synchronous modems and a multiplexer to combine these 24 lines so they appear as a single 1.5 Mbit/sec pipe. This is still alot slower than the 10 Mbit/sec pipe Ethernet uses but most people find it good enough. Here at Georgia Tech, we have not only T1 links, but also T3 which uses QUITE a lot of phone lines. You can guess what the bills from Southern Bell for these constantly-open data-grade lines are like. Your home options basically boil down to 2: 1) SLIP or PPP: Serial Line Internet Protocol, or Point-to-Point Protocol. You have a Unix host at a *REAL* site on the ethernet, with a high-speed modem. Your home box dials in and connects to it. Cheap in that you only need a voice-grad phone line and 2 high-speed modems, but expensive if you don't happen to have a Unix box at the site and have to buy one. Also pretty slow, but goode enough for a few telnet sessions, some poky FTP. Also involves a fair amount of skull-sweat and tinkering on the part of the person setting up the host you will connect to. Not for the beginner and I wouldn't expect to get it working within a week. The best performance would be using PPP and Telebit modems. 2) ISDN: I keep hearing that One Day Real Soon Now, the phone company will get it's act together and make available to home users a pair of 64Kb/sec pipes. You could use one for phone, the other for reasonably fast data. The jury is still out on this one. Hypothetically though, you could impose the Internet Protocol stack over top of the ISDN transport and get usable performance. ISDN will obviously cost somewhat more than basic phone service. Maybe 2-3 times as much. +++++++++++++++++++++++++ From: "Jeffrey N.

Glenn, I will raise my hand for one who has direct Internet connectivity, although I will admit from the outset that I am fortunate in the way I have connectivity. I have a small 10-Base-T Ethernet running in my home using an inexpensive Asante concentrator. My home Ethernet is connected to an Ethernet-ISDN bridge called the Combinet Interchange. I use two channels of an ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) BRI (Basic Rate Interface) for an aggregate througput of 128 kbps. A second Combinet Interchange bridge is located on our campus backbone which is then routed to the Internet. The cost for the bridges is $2,100 each. The ISDN line cost $80 per month(for both sides). Not cheap by any means, but not out of sight either! The connectivity is super. I have EtherTalk access to my deparment's Novell file server and TCP/IP access to University hosts and the Internet.

Gosh, Glenn--one of my favorite subjects! There are now a lot of providers of Internet services of all sorts. The best comprehensive and up-to-date list I know was compiled by James Milles and is available by anonymous ftp at liberty.uc.wlu.edu,filed as: /pub/lawlib/internet.access Get it and check out the providers listed. And think about whether you really need a dedicated Ethernet connection. A dedicated phone line with a highspeed modem might serve you just as well, and it's a lot cheaper.

If you've got a Mac on an ethernet, and the ethernet is gatewayed to the internet, you're on. Likewise if you dial in with a SLIP connection.

Then install MacTCP and you can run FTP, Telnet, News, IRC, mail, finger, gopher, wais, and all sorts of goodies. Works for me at 9600bps w/SLIP. Are you saying you want a 10Mbps ethernet routed to your bedroom from a commercial service? That is more difficult and I have no idea how you'd find that at anything near affordable.

The connect rate is as low as $2.00 an hour, so that you won't feel rushed. And instead having a fixed surcharge for high-speed access, we have a data transfer charge, so if you like to browse on-line, you aren't penalized for having a quick modem. HoloNet membership is only $6.00 a month which is applied towards your charges. An annual membership is just $60.00 - you save $12.00! HoloNet connect charges are $2.00/hour off-peak and $4.00/hour peak plus applicable network access surcharges. There is a data transfer charge of $1.00/MB off-peak and $2.00/MB peak for each MB you transfer in excess of 1 MB/hour. Data storage in excess of 100K is billed at monthly rate of $1.00/MB. Depending upon which network you use to access HoloNet there may be an additional network access surcharge. There is no surcharge if you call the Berkeley HoloPacket access number or if you telnet in via the Internet. The tables below show the exact charges incurred. ============= HoloNet Rates ============= BASIC RATES Membership includes: $6.00 connect credit per month 100K of Data Storage per month Membership: $6.00 per month (or $60.00 per year -- Save $12.00!) Data Storage: $1.00 per MB per month (after the first 100K) Connect Rate includes: 1 MB of Data Transfer per hour Off-Peak Peak Connect Rate: $2.00 $4.00 per hour (includes first MB of DT/hour) Data Transfer: $1.00 $2.00 per additional MB Members are billed for data transferred to and from HoloNet. Currently this is data transferred between a member's computer and HoloNet, and data betwen the Internet and HoloNet. So, there is no data transfer charge for sendingr receiving mail to or from other HoloNet members. Additionally, the followig Internet services are exempt from data transfer charges: talk, finger, ping, traceroute, and receiving Internet E-mail. There may be a surcharge to access HoloNet depending upon which access method you use, these charges are shown below. There are no SURCHARGES for telneting (TEL) from the Internet or for access through our Berkeley (HPA) access number. Additionally, in the future, some services may incur a surcharge. You will be notified before any surcharges are incurred for these services. HoloNet Peak is Monday thru Friday 8am - 5pm except Holidays. The access method you use determines the time zone (TZ) that is used for HoloNet Peak. For some networks, the location of the dial up (DU) determines the time zon. Sessions that span a peak/off-peak periods are split into separate sessions. HoloNet itself is billed in one-minute increments. The increments (INC) usd for each access network's surcharge are shown below. Holidays are: New Yeas Day, Presidents Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. | HoloNet Hourly Connect Charges | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | Peak Off Peak Periods Inc | using one of the access ----- ----- --------------- ------ | networks shown below $4.00 $2.00 M-F 8am-5pm TZ* 1 min | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | | Access Network Hourly Access SURCHARGES | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | NET Speed (100bps) Demo Peak Off Peak Periods Inc TZ | --- -------------- ---- ----- ----- --------------- ------ ---- | HPA 12 24 96 144 Yes $0.00 $0.00 - - DU | HPB 12 24 96 144 Yes $0.95 $0.50 M-F 8am-5pm DU* 1 min DU | PNA 3 12 24 Yes $1.95 $0.95 M-F 8am-6pm ET 5 min DU | PN9 96 Yes $3.95 $2.95 M-F 8am-6pm ET 5 min DU | PNB 3 12 24 Yes $6.00 $2.50 M-F 8am-8pm ET 5 min ET | TNS 12 No $7.50 $3.75 M-F 6am-7pm DU* 6 min DU | TNM 24 No $7.50 $3.75 M-F 6am-7pm DU* 6 min DU | TNT 3 12 24 No $7.50 $3.75 M-F 6am-7pm DU* 6 min DU | TEL Yes $0.00 $0.00 - - ET | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | * On holidays, off-peak charges apply all day. DU = Dialup ABOUT OUR DATA TRANSFER RATES HoloNet rates are designed not to rush you. Your charges are based upon how long you are on the system and the amount of data transferred. There is no charge for the first megabyte of information you transfer per hour. At 2400bps, less than a megabyte of information can be transferred to you per hour. So, if you're just reading, you probably don't need to be concerned about the data transfer rate since most people can't read a megabyte (1,048,576 characters) in an hour. If you're uploading or downloading, you aren't penalized for having faster access. The faster your modem, the less time you'll need to spend on-line. So, you can save time and money by having a faster modem. Table of maximum data transfer rates (not including compression): One-way Two-way 2400 bps .824 MB/hr 1.648 MB/hr 9600 bps 3.296 MB/hr 6.592 MB/hr 14400 bps 4.807 MB/hr 9.613 MB/hr See the file holonet-access for information reguarding accessing HoloNet.
