- There is an FAQ on this that is regularly posted with listings for
- major commercial vendors for Internet/Usenet services, I think it's
- posted here, on news.announce.newusers, places like that.
-
- Your main options are:
- 1. get it through work or school
- 2. find a local BBS with an Internet connect, which generally means
- mail/news only, no telnet or FTP
- 3. buy from a commercial vendor like netcom or uunet... though there
- are lots of others with varying service levels and prices.
