Subject: Public Data Net Access

Tymnet offers a dedicated async. outdial modem service, which is the
cheapest option and is suitable for low volume operations.  Non-U.S. users
can connect to the outdial modem via the local PDN and Tymnet, and then
dial a hosts with a local call. (If the host is in a major city; otherwise
a LD call.) (U.S. users could also use it, but it is probably not cost
effective if that is the primary application.) Call your local Tymnet
sales office, but be prepared to have to tell them that they offer the
service! (They call it Asynchronous Outdial Service)
