[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] What's the current status of dialin terminal servers

dyer@spdcc.COM (Steve Dyer) (09/23/90)

Several months ago there was some discussion of the regional and
commercial networks which comprise the Internet offering some form of
fee-for-membership or fee-for-use dialin service at major metropolitan
centers.  I seem to remember some expressions on interest or intent on
the part of Alternet and Barrnet, and I believe that PSInet offers
dialup service, though at the time it only offered connections to other
PSInet sites, and therefore was not useful as a general Internet
resource.

Can anyone comment on the current status of these or any other initiatives
in this area?
