|
"PDN" means the provider is accessible through a public data network
|
|
(check the listings below for which network); note that many PDNs
|
|
listed offer access outside North America as well as within North
|
|
America. Check with the provider or the PDN for more details.
|
|
|
|
"800" means the provider is accessible via a "toll-free" US phone
|
|
number. The phone company will not charge for the call, but the
|
|
service provider will add a relatively large surcharge to cover the
|
|
high cost of the 800 service. Other long-distance options are
|
|
generally cheaper.

If you are not local to any of these providers, it's still likely you

are able to access those providers available through a public data

These are area codes local to the dialups, although some prefixes in

the area codes listed may not be local to the dialups. Check your

phone book or with your phone company.
|
|
|
|
Most providers listed here are also accessible by packet-switched data
|
|
services such as PC Pursuit ($30/month for 30 hours off-peak 2400 bps
|
|
access -- call 800-736-1130 for more information), traditional long
|
|
distance services, and of course telnet.

~Subject: What *Is* The Internet?
|
|
|
|
The Internet is a global cooperative network of university, corporate,
|
|
government, and private computers, all communicating with each other by
|
|
means of something called TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
|
|
Protocol). Computers directly on the Internet can exchange data quickly
|
|
and easily with any other computer on the Internet to download files, send
|
|
email, provide remote logins, etc.
|
|
|
|
Users can download files from publicly accessible archive sites ("anonymous
|
|
FTP"); login into remote computers (telnet or rlogin); chat in real-time
|
|
with other users around the world (Internet Relay Chat); or use the newest
|
|
information retrieval tools to find a staggering variety of information
|
|
(Wide Area Information Servers, Gopher, World Wide Web).
|
|
|
|
Computers directly on the Internet also exchange email directly and very
|
|
quickly; email is usually delivered in seconds between Internet sites.
|
|
|
|
Sometimes the Internet is confused with other related networks or types of
|
|
networking.
|
|
|
|
First, there are other ways to be "connected to the Internet" without being
|
|
directly connected as a TCP/IP node. Some computers connect via UUCP or
|
|
other means at regular intervals to an Internet site to exchange email and
|
|
USENET newsgroups, for instance. Such a site can provide email (though not
|
|
as quickly as a directly connected systems) and USENET access, but not
|
|
Internet downloads, remote logins, etc.
|
|
|
|
"email" (or "Internet email", "netmail") can be exchanged with a wide
|
|
variety of systems connected directly and indirectly to the Internet. The
|
|
email may travel solely over the Internet, or it may traverse other
|
|
networks and systems.
|
|
|
|
"USENET" is the collection of computers all over the world that exchange
|
|
USENET news -- thousands of "newsgroups" (like forums, or echos) on a wide
|
|
range of topics. The newsgroup articles are distributed all over the world
|
|
to USENET sites that wish to carry them (sometimes over the Internet,
|
|
sometimes not), where people read and respond to them.
|
|
|
|
The "NSFNET" is one of the backbones of the Internet in the US. It is
|
|
funded by the NSF, which restricts traffic over the NSFNET to "open
|
|
research and education in and among US research and instructional
|
|
institutions, plus research arms of for-profit firms when engaged in
|
|
open scholarly communication and research." Your Internet provider
|
|
can give you more details about acceptable use, and alternatives
|
|
should you need to use the Internet in other ways.

~Subject: What The PDIAL Is
|
|
|
|
This is a list of Internet service providers offering public access
|
|
dialins and outgoing Internet access (ftp, telnet, etc.). Most of
|
|
them provide email and USENET news and other services as well.
|
|
|
|
If one of these systems is not accessible to you and you need email or
|
|
USENET access, but *don't* need ftp or telnet, you have many more
|
|
public access systems from which to choose. Public access systems
|
|
without ftp or telnet are *not* listed in this list, however. See the
|
|
nixpub (alt.bbs, comp.misc) list and other BBS lists.
|
|
|
|
Some of these providers offer time-shared access to a shell or BBS
|
|
program on a computer connected directly to the Internet, through
|
|
which you can FTP or telnet to other systems on the Internet. Usually
|
|
other services are provided as well. Generally, you need only a modem
|
|
and terminal or terminal emulator to access these systems. Check for
|
|
"shell", "bbs", or "menu" on the "services" line.
|
|
|
|
Other providers connect you directly to the Internet via SLIP or PPP
|
|
when you dial in. For these you need a computer system capable of
|
|
running the software to interface with the Internet, e.g., a Unix
|
|
machine, PC, or Mac. Check for "SLIP", or "PPP" on the services
|
|
line.
|
|
|
|
While I have included all sites for which I have complete information,
|
|
this list is surely incomplete. Please send any additions or
|
|
corrections to "kaminski@netcom.com".

Fees are for personal dialup accounts with outgoing Internet access;
|
|
most sites have other classes of service with other rate structures as
|
|
well. Most support email and netnews along with the listed services.
|
|
|
|
"Long distance: provided by user" means you need to use services such
|
|
as PC Pursuit or other long distance services.

|
|

|
|
by modem as instructed below.

|
|
|

|
|

|
|
with no other PDN access or even those which are accessible by other PDNs).
|
|
|
|
For information and registration, call 800-736-1130 (voice) or

|
|

|
|
at the "@" prompt, then "PHONES" at the "USER NAME:" prompt, and
|
|
"PHONES" at the "PASSWORD:" prompt.
|
|
|
|
