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

code. You will be billed for the long distance call from the
outdial port to the host computer at the local phone company's

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
