  Glen, check out Panix. www.panix.com

 I am am using Pine under Unix, and I telnet into them thru my local ISP,
no PPP or other stuff required - they also have dial-ups in a good number
of cities, more near the east coast since they are in NuYawk.

  I am using VanDayke's CRT on a Thinkpad, and it has never failed me,
from living in India to living in the California Sierras, and with my
cellphone when on the road.

  One thing, though, about Panix you might want to bear in mind. When you
call them, something known as a 'human being' will answer the phone right
away, and that person will not only know what you're talking about, you
will be connected to another one of those 'human' devices, (I have never
been on hold with them, BTW) and in my few tech calls, the person helping
me knew precisely what they were talking about and gave me the complete,
correct info the first time.

  I just thought it would be only fair to warn you.


  Cheers

John
