I would like to hear from anyone (Via Email) who has used, or currently uses the X-Press X-Change news service that is offered via satellite or via Cable TV. I got a letter from my cable company recently stating that they were going to start carrying it, and that I have the option of subscribing to it. Apparently it is a modem-like device which hooks to the cable line, and then connects via a serial port to the computer. Software is then loaded and certain keywords are specified. When news articles with these keywords come through, they are saved. Does anyone use this? Is it worthwhile? Is it expensive? Please send mail... Sean --- undrground!seanp@amix.commodore.com
