- Hi,
-
- Some while back there was a service offered by Galaxy (in New Mexico)
- which consisted of offering dialout access through modems installed in
- major cities by BT TYMNET. Someone calls the local Tymnet number and
- then logs in to the modem in his city of choice; then dials the local
- number there.
-
- But unfortunately this service dissapeared and PC Pursuit is
- unavailable from Canada. Does anyone know of a similar service that
- could be available from Canada or an internet service without per
- minute fees available from Canada?

- [Moderator's Note: A service called Canada DataPak has a gateway to
- Telenet/Sprintnet. I know nothing about the rates, but you could use
- it to connect to Telenet/Sprintnet then into the PC Pursuit service.
- I do not think the Canada DataPak rates would be all that expensive
- compared to DDD rates. You'd have to check it out with them. PAT]
