[comp.dcom.telecom] What are Tymnet et al?

Adam Denton <asd@mtqua.att.com> (04/04/91)

What are these?  Are they services that provide long-distance data
connections by dialing a local or semi-local number?  How much do they
cost, and how can I find out more about them?

Thanks in advance,

[Moderator's Note: Tymnet and Sprintnet (formerly known as Telenet)
are two major public data networks. They employ local dial-up lines to
connect with their networks. Both have numerous local sales offices
for inquiries, etc.  In the case of Telenet, call 1-800-TELENET.   PAT]
