- I've responded via Netmail to several recent inquiries regarding both
- domestic and international access to BBS or other online systems.
- Compuserve offers a service called "Network End User Billing" which
- will allow users to connect to your BBS via compuserve at a rate of
- $7.50 per hour (up to 9600 bps). This is generally cheaper than DDD
- or 800 cost, and the advantage for users is that the price uniform
- throughout the day, and the rate is distance insensitive.
-
- But, the best thing of all, is that if your BBS users generate $3,500
- or more of connect time to your BBS via Compuserve, (equivalent to
- 466.67 hours) then the BBS operator pays _NOTHING_ for the 9600 bps
- dedicated circuit and associated eight port X.25 PAD which Compuserve
- installs to connect to your system.
-
- Best way to find out more is for you or and reader to contact any
- CompuServe sales rep directly for latest details and pricing.

- Happy holidays,
