A COMPARISON OF STARLINK AND PC PURSUIT The following list compares STARLINK's outdial access points with those of Telenet. These are the actual cities you can reach by accessing your local dial-in node and issuing the outdial command. As you can see, there are many more STARLINK outdials than there are Telenet outdials. In addition, with STARLINK, you are not restricted to the actual outdial city. You can precede the number to be dialed with a "1" and call any BBS in that area code. You will be billed for the long distance call from the outdial port to the host computer at the local phone company's rates Outdial Host Numbers Sorted by Time Zone, State, Eastern Time Zone ----------- State/ Tymnet Outdial Telenet Node City Host # Area Code Access Point --------------- ------ --------- ------------ Connecticut Bloomfield 9128 203 Hartford 9128 203 D/CTHAR/12 Stamford 9129 203 D.C Washington 2262 703 D/DCWAS/3/12/24 Florida Fort Lauderdale 7123 305 m Jacksonville 5797 904 m Longwood 7096 305 m Miami 6582 305 D/FLMIA/3/12/24 Orlando 7096 305 m Tampa 5518 813 m D/FLTAM/3/12/24 Georgia Atlanta 8795 404 D/GAATL/3/12/24 Doraville 8795 404 Marietta 8795 404 Norcross 8795 404 Indiana Indianapolis 9349 317 Maryland Baltimore 4600 301 Massachusetts Boston 8796 617 D/MABOS/3/12/24 Cambridge 8796 617 New Jersey Camden 8693 609 m Englewood Cliffs 6319 201 m Newark 7618 201 D/NJNEW/3/12/24 Pennsauken 8693 609 m Princeton 8920 609 South Brunswick 8920 609 New York Albany 9192 518 m Buffalo 9194 716 m Melville 8811 516 m New York 1059 212 D/NYNYO/3/12/24 (for 718, must use 1718 + phone number) Pittsford 6019 716 Rochester 6019 716 White Plains 8571 914 North Carolina Charlotte 6793 704 Research Triangle Park, NC 919 D/NCRTP/3/12 Ohio Akron 8740 216 m Cincinnati 1785 513 Cleveland 4222 216 D/OHCLE/3/12/24 Columbus 9347 614 Dayton 9511 513 m Pennsylvania Philadelphia 9581 215 D/PAPHI/3/12/24 Pittsburgh 7408 412 Rhode Island Providence 9130 401 Virginia Alexandria 2262 703 D/DCWAS/3/12/24 Arlington 2262 703 D/DCWAS/3/12/24 Fairfax 2262 703 Midlothian 7339 804 m Norfolk 6986 804 m Portsmouth 6986 804 m Central Time Zone ----------- Alabama Birmingham 4101 205 Illinois Chicago 8257 312 D/ILCHI/3/12/24 Glen Ellyn 8944 312 m (for 815, must use 1815 + phone number) Kansas Wichita 8013 316 m Michigan Detroit 8794 313 D/MIDET/3/12/24 Minnesota Minneapolis 3494 612 D/MNMIN/3/12 St. Paul 3494 612 Missouri Bridgeton 8978 314 Independence 8615 913 Kansas City 8615 913 D/MOKCI/3/12/24 St. Louis 8978 314 D/MOSLO/3 (for 618, must use 1618 + phone number) Nebraska Omaha 2521 402 m Oklahoma Oklahoma City 9165 405 Tulsa 6605 918 Tennessee Memphis 1551 901 m Nashville 9141 615 Texas Arlington 9337 817 Dallas 2948 214 D/TXDAL/3/12/24 (for 817, must use 817 + phone number) Fort Worth 9337 817 Houston 4562 713 San Antonio 9169 512 Wisconsin Brookfield 9167 414 Milwaukee 9167 414 D/WIMIL/3/12/24 Mountain Time Zone ---------- Arizona Mesa 9532 602 Phoenix 9532 602 D/AZPHO/3/12 Tucson 4751 602 m (Ft McDowell, Higley & SpStnaJct calls must use 1 + phone number [see coverage.txt]) Colorado Aurora 2584 303 Boulder 2584 303 Denver 2584 303 D/CODEN/3/12/24 UTAH Salt Lake City 801 D/UTSLC/3/12/24 Pacific Time Zone ----------- California Alhambra 9204 818 m Anaheim 9184 714 Colton, CA 714 D/CACOL/3/12/24 El Segundo 9203 203 m Glendale, CA 818 D/CAGLE/12 Long Beach 9205 213 m Los Angeles, CA 213 D/CALAN/3/12/24 Newport Beach 9184 714 Oakland 8963 415 D/CAOAK/3/12/24 Palo Alto, CA 415 D/CAPAL/12 Pasadena 9204 818 m Pleasanton 9202 415 m Sacramento 9179 916 D/CASAC/3/12/24 San Diego, CA 619 D/CASDI/3/12/24 San Francisco 9533 415 D/CASFA/3/12/24 San Jose 6450 408 D/CASJO/12 San Jose, CA 408 D/CASJO/12 Santa Ana, CA 714 D/CASAN/12 Sherman Oaks 9206 818 m Vernon 3173 213 Walnut Creek 9202 415 m OREGON Portland 503 D/ORPOR/3/12 Washington Bellevue 9170 206 Seattle 9170 206 D/WASEA/3 FOREIGN ACCESS: The following countries have direct dial-in access to STARLINK: CANADA ALBERTA:Calgary BRITISH COLUMBIA:Burnaby,Vancouver ONTARIO:Kitchner,Ottawa,Toronto,Windsor QUEBEC:Montreal,Quebec City, Ville St. Laurent Off peak rates from these cities is billed at $4.00 per hour.

You can reach the Merit computer network dial-ins from Detroit. Merit is a state-wide network for Michigan universities. Might be a reasonable place to contact for email and some netnews connections, esp. if you have ties to Michigan. -- Edward Vielmetti, U of Michigan
