I have a friend who wants access to the Usenet, but doesn't have an account anywhere. Does anyone know of a cheap($$) way to get access. I know some bbs's have Internet access and charge a relatively low monthly rate. Does such a thing exist in the Las Vegas area? Please e-mail any info. you may have and I will forward it. Thanks in advance. -- ------------------------------------------------------------- You wont find any fancy .signature here ------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Cook (rcook@ncsa.uiuc.edu)

This "friend" doesn't have free access to UseNet, so that means that he's not in school, and he doesn't work for a computer company that's hooked up. Hmmm... He lives in Vegas... This was posted to rec.gambling... What other line of business could this person be in? Can you say "CASINOS"???!!?!?!

He's amazed by the number of people who read this stuff. Really now, use that brain Frank. Would someone (me), who works at NCSA, help a casino? Don't you realize it's fairly easy (maybe not cheap) for a casino to get Usenet access. I'll even go as far as bet you some of the big casino's already read this stuff. BTW, I already know about getting a uucp feed, but that's a little too expensive for him. I'm looking for something along the lines of a free(cheap) bbs with Internet access for e-mailing and reading the newsgroups. I know such things exist, I'm just wondering if they exist in or around Las Vegas. -- ------------------------------------------------------------- You wont find any fancy .signature here ------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Cook (rcook@ncsa.uiuc.edu)
