Robert, if you think that a local BBS is more interesting than "Any of the pay services", by inference this one (CIS), then I can positively conclude that you have not gone around and looked at CIS worth a darn. There is more to do, read, and think about here than you'd have time to do if you never had to sleep, hang up the modem, and lived to be 200. As fo the cost, yes – I agree. This is a very expensive service. It's also the best service. As someone else just said, "You get what you pay for", which I think is true for most commercial endeavors. As for high-speed modems, that would be wonderful, of course. There are a lot of us (including me) who have 9600 baud capability, and would love to use it. BBS->Williams.Ben[AA7AS]

Ben, CIS has 9600 baud service in 30 cities. It will be available system wide within the next year. -sja

Yeah? Hmmmmm…. care to tell me how to find out about it??? Long distance to Denver isn't much (if any at all) different from LD to most anywhere else… I have an HST – I suppose it's too much to hope for that they support same? BBS->Williams.Ben[AA7AS]

Ben, I'll see what I can find out. I didn't before cuz Denver isn't one of the 30 cities now in service.

9600 baud service in 30 cities??? I've been griping at them for the last three years just to give me 2400!!!

Peter, Have you checked the PHONES section lately? They have been upgrading to 2400 baud by several places a week for a long time. Betty
