The information that appeared here on Allnet was a bit misleading.
|
|
Yes, they have six-second billing, but they also have a 1-minute
|
|
minimum. They also charge more for the first minute than they do
|
|
for subsequent minutes. Their salesman told me that they don't bill
|
|
for calls under 1 minute at all, but they same salesman told me that
|
|
the first minute was NOT loaded, which turned out not to be true.
|
|
(I haven't gotten a bill yet, so I don't know about not billing
|
|
under 1 minute - I'll report back - my FIDOnet system should give
|
|
*that* a good test...).

The following "ad" was posted to one of my FIDO systems, and I thought
|
|
the population of the USENET might be interested. You can respond to
|
|
the ad directly, or to me at ..!seismo!hadron!klr, and I will send them
|
|
along to Larry via FIDO:

Attention Star Trek Fans:
|
|
|
|
I have a collection of authentic Star Trek Film Clips for sale.
|
|
These are original clips rescued from the cutting room floor by
|
|
Lincoln Enterprises. I have about 120 different clips, each
|
|
one to four frames long. Most shots are of the Enterprise crew
|
|
and guest stars. They can be mounted in half-frame slide
|
|
mounts for projection. This is as close as you'll ever come to
|
|
owning a real piece of Star Trek.
|
|
Prices: all 120 clips for $75.00
|
|
or a random sampling of 10 clips for $10.00

Re: MSDOS Technical BBS

|
|
|
There is a generic MSDOS oriented BBS in Sanfrancisco: Fido:
|
|
(415)-864-1418 - 1200/300 baud 24 hrs. The usual msg base, file up and
|
|
download via XMODEM, MODEM batch mode, extended TELINK mode. 10 Mb
|
|
space, about 2 M files. Trying to keep mostly generic MSDOS utils and
|
|
sources; about 75:25 Generic:PC. BBS software is new (not in BASIC)
|
|
and is available for FREE for downloading. No time limits, etc (yet!)
|
|
CP/M software is OK too; not too much there yet, except some stuff for
|
|
BDS (Unix file i/o system, utilities). Mostly C and assembly; only one
|
|
(1) program in basic.
