Does anyone have any information on cheap access to the internet? This
would be used by a small research firm primarily for e-mail. Thanks
in advance. - Joel

If you have something like PC-Pursuit, then Portal is a pretty good deal -- 
they are based in California and the cost is like $13.95/month.

It has a unique menuing system that is designed to allow someone not 
familiar much with Unix -- so no "real" shell access. At least not yet.

Still, e-mail and the Usenet news were my main goals in having access to
a Public Access Unix...

Aloha,
