cost of mailing list

Cynthia Higginbotham says that Compu$erve charge for Internet mail are in the
$0.30/5000 bytes range.

This is incorrect. If you use the "standard" pricing plan it is true. If you
use the *alternative* pricing plan you only get charged for connect time.

At 9600 bps, it costs $24.74/hr. Assuming only 4800 bps "real" troughput, it
costs about 7 cents per 5000 bytes.
