Genie never officially sanctioned telnet access, and has no separate price
for it, so there is not much point if you already have a local access
number. Since Syndicom, the folks who run the Apple areas on Genie, has
opened shop on Delphi, you might want to kill the Genie account and join
Delphi. I still have both, but I'm thinking about cutting my costs. There
are rumors of more price changes on Genie, so I'm waiting to see them.
