Is there a way to determine if a modem line with internet access is
available from a particular part of the country? When I am away from
my local modem lines accessing my computer systems can become quite
expensive. One area of particular interest is the 707 area code
region around the Petaluma and Cotati.
Thanks for any assistance.

In newsgroup comp.misc are periodic Nixpub postings which describe and give phone numbers to systems around the country. Some charge fees, some are free. Some have access to Email, some to USENET, some are strictly for up/downloading software, and others for chatting on some local topic of interest. Hope this helps. -- asylvain@felix.UUCP (Alvin "the Chipmunk" Sylvain) ========================= Opinions are Mine, Typos belong to /usr/ucb/vi "We're sorry, but the reality you have dialed is no longer in service.
