: ProTERM will also run on a IIe (sith SSC) or //c and is $20 US (not $60

: My text-only account with FreeNet in Edmonton cost $35 CDN / year for unlimited access and LD costs me .05 / minute. If you're located within

--> I also use my IIe or the IIgs to go online with ProTERM 3.1
    and my Edmonton FreeNet (ECN - Edmonton Community Net) account.

    It works just fine (though 28.8K is a bit on the slow side).
    The only problem I have is remembering which key-combo moves
    the highlighted selection in ProTERM - use the arrow keys and
    one gets stuck in /history-hell or /source-hell and it's a pain.

    Mind you, I usually telnet from my XP-box, so I'm used to the
    faster speed and the arrow keys actually working as intuited.

    However, I can do email and wander around the web, with no major
    problems, using ProTERM 3.1 and an external 28.8K modem and a
    TXT-only (unlimited) account at ECN.
