[comp.text] on-line dictionaries

Is anyone aware of any on-line dictionaries that you can buy ??
The UNIX spell program, for example, provides Webster's 2nd edition
(234,00+ words), but only because the 1934 copyright on it has
expired.  And this has no hyphenation-points in it.

I'd like to get hold of something current and would be willing to
pay a reasonable price.
