[comp.sys.atari.st] GEnie for Atari ST

Note: I was not able to reach Jerry Pierce personnally, so I post this
message.
Dear Jerry,
In your message dated 20 Jan 89, you write:

> specific bulletin boards?  (West coast preferably)

Well, I recommend to try GEnie, the General Electric BBS. It has access
gates all over the nation so I would not be surprised if there is one
right in your city! The access price is $5/hour in the evening (1200 bauds),
so it is very affordable. The hourly rate for 2400 bauds raises to $12.50,
but you pay more than that for CompuServe at 1200 bauds anyway. It has
almost 10000 files in the ST roundtable and my best PD and shareware, along
with my prettiest pictures and my greatest digitalized sounds, come from
here. Check it!
#include<stddsclaimr.h> : I don't even know a single owner of GE stock,
so no string attached!

Regards,

Re: GEnie sign-up - here is how to do it and save the $29.95 sign-up fee!

Set modem to 1200, 8, half, no
Dial 1-800-638-6369
at the U#= type 'XJM11775,SIGNUP'
Give the relevant info and your set!

I canm't guarantee that this works everywhere or that its still
a valid offer but its worth a shot...

I tried this yesterday and it doesn't work from the Boston area at least.
Dialing the phone number from here gives you the voice message
"This 800 number is unavalable from your calling area."

Have fun!
