Does anyone have any experience with accessing the Internet through a graphical Mac interace? One of the local providers in Los Angeles, NetCom, only offers a Shell account (command-line UNIX style access), and supposedly does not support being able to use something like NetScape after login. Are any of you experienced communicators aware of a provider and/or browser that can be used with the Mac? Thanks for any leads. Kevin Krell – Computer Support Associates

I just have recieved an ad from a company that will let you access the internet and a bunch of BBS for a flat rate of $30/month (+ your local phone rates) with unlimited connect time, as soon as you are located in one of the Top 100 US metro markets. Of course, LA is on that list. The connection will let you use Netscape (that's SLIP/PPP right?), althought I haven't tried it yet. I am planning a login for next week, but if you get there before me, I will be glad to hear from you. ana /krazy images

Ana, Plenty of other things on my plate, so you'll probably get there first. I believe I did see a provider with that offer, but, again, wasn't sure of Mac support. Kevin Krell – Computer Support Associates

I am extremely happy with this CRIS connection. The Mac support is there, 110%. Same to Windoze. It works _extremely_ well, and I recommend it to anyone that wants to get into the net. I will start to explore the free personal WWW page soon. I am amazed and wasting too much time in the WWW 🙂 Boy, this CD-ROM is huuuuuuge <vbg> Again, I will be happy to help you to setup your connection, but it is so easy and silly to setup, that you won't need any help at all. I told you, less than 2 minutes and you will be up and running on the Web. Again, I love it 🙂 ana /krazy images
