- There's some confusion here. Compuserve basic service is 7.95 per month,
- with free connect time. That includes a fair bit of free email credits
- (for sending messages, around $9.00, I think), although you pay extra
- for mail that crosses into Internet and other networks.
-
- Of course, many compuserve services aren't include in the basic package,
- and for those you must pay a connect fee. Some databases are quite
- expensive, other serives are charged at a "standard" connect fee that
- varies with baud rate.
-
- Compuserve is a huge system; there's lots you can do with the basic
- package, but lots lots more you can do outside of the basic services....
