Michael, I don't know of ISP's in the KC area, but you might also want to
consider finding one with a SLIP (make sure they don't use CSLIP)
capability, so you can use the new Marinetti (tcp/ip control panel for the
IIGS).

My recommendation is, once you get your shell/slip account, that you join
Delphi.  If you telnet into it, it's $35/year unlimited access, and has a
very strong Apple II forum (matter of fact, most, if not all of the staff
on Genie is now also on Delphi).
