   Joe:  Saw your post requesting info on how we access the Inet,
and am responding with my method.
   I am not currently employed by anyone with Inet access, nor am I
a student enrolled in a college with Inet hooks.  I don't have an
account where I can Freq or directly hook into the system.
   I do have a local BBS (User-to-User at 214 492-6565 or 214
492-5695) that reads the csa2, the binary a2 stuff, and another a2
area which strangely never has any messages.  I can also send
netmail from here. Hopefully, this will come straight to you. Here
is general info from U2U.

  There are currently 550+ BBS listing in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area,
many with multiple lines.  There is one ProLine site which is
supposed to be hooked up, but is a LD call, and requires a fee, so I
have not investigated that site yet.  User-to-User does FIDO,
Inet/UseNet, RIME and some others.  The conference list take 4-5
screens...and to add injury to insult, does color ANSI and take
forever of your 30 minutes daily allowance to throw up these
screens.  You have to read these, as they are the comercial messages
imploring you to "join" and gain access to the other seven lines.
   I use a IIgs, ProTerm 3.0, and a Supra 2400 out the modem port.
It seems bulletproof, especially since installing the PT3 fixes.
   I also run a Warp 6 BBS on a companion //e, with a dedicated
line. It is heavily advertised locally as a //e BBS (interest and
help) but of the 83 users, only 4-5 have A2's in any form.  The Mac
guys see "Apple //" and log on once or twice, and afterwards, use
the e-mail, since access is generally no problem at KayJay's. There
is a lot of interest in a CyberForm that I set up for a local youth.
 I'm not real sure what goes on there, as I let Kid-E run it.  We
are a alias BBS, at 214 350-1883.
   I am considering ProLine for the future, but I am waiting until
the dust settles on some new wares I've seen over on the A2 (FIDO)
echo, and here.
   I hope this info is useful to you, coming from a veteran.  I've
been modeming for seven years, but am totally awed by the Inet.
Maybe if I just had full access...?  KJ

PS.  I've enjoyed your stuff in A+/InCider.  Wish there was MORE A2
info to be shared.  Keep after them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I hope this gets out.  Let me know.... KayJay
(KayJay's W6 BBS  ][4 hours.  214 350-1883) Get some "NORV"
today.
