If you get two of these, it is because my machine crashed while

This is going to several lists since it is getting to be that time of
year when students lose access again.
No flames for being off topic or commercial please; I'm providing
this information as a recommendation from a satisfied customer and
gain nothing (in fact I'm paying to send it) if you decide to act
upon it other than your continued participation in these lists.
MCIMail allows unlimited free message reception for $35 annually.
There is no connect time charge for downloading the messages on the
9600 baud 800 number. Outgoing messages are charged per message,
depending on the number of characters. Admittedly the outgoing mail
isn't cheap, but you can use Cserve/AOL/Delphi/Whatever for that.
MCIMail also has a special student rate that is (I think) $5 per
month, but includes 100 free outgoing messages (the first 500 chars
anyway). I don't happen to have the 800 number with me. Other than
a free account, it is hard to beat $3 a month for your email fix.
You should also contact netcom ([email removed]) about their service.
Also, check out Intercon's WorldLink.
