[comp.sys.atari.8bit] Help on Delphi

merlin@bsu-cs.UUCP (Scott McPheeters) (10/23/88)

	I was on Delphi last night and was going to join but got nothing but 
confused...I looked at all the menus and they didn't help my situation very
much. This is what I would like to have help on.. 

	1) I am going to be useing Tymnet .. Is there a monthly charge 
	   for using  Tymnet even if I don't connect to Delphi every month?
	   
	2) Are there any other costs other than the 7.20 per hour during 
	   home time for downloading programs?

	3) How do you get to the Atari SIG, I had 5 analog magazines         
	   in front of me and none of them helped.
	


		Please E-mail or post if you can help..Thanks..

There's *no* extra charge for accessing Delphi through Tymnet or Telenet...
any communications charges are included in the regular basic connect rate.

No...  there are only a few "premium" services which cost more,  like the
Financial services an
