- requesting further information. Therefore, I am posting our full
- information file about the 800 service:
-

- CNS is connected to the Internet via a T1, and carries all features of the
- Internet, including telnet, ftp, irc, gopher and wais. CNS carries all
- newsgroups, including ClarinNet Newgroups. All features are available
- through easy-to-use menus, or full UNIX shells (ksh and csh are available.)
- Type of connections supported include uucp, slip, and point-to-point. All
- ports are served by Telebit T-3000, capable of of up to 38.4K baud. CNS
- has full customer support during working hours, and a 24 hour technical
- emergency line.

- When calling a Colo Springs number (719-520-1700) or a Denver number
- (303-758-2656), all services are $2 per login hour. When using the 800
- number, all services are $8 per hour. CNS is also available through telnet
