Public Access Systems
Many of these systems run the UNIX operating system. All provide dial-up terminal emulation. Ask about UUCP, SLIP, or PPP access. Typical services include USENET, IRC, BBS, and games. Most of these systems offer local-area dial-up access. (See the "Dial-up" field for the local modem number and a new user login name, if one exists.) A summary of services by area code is provided. (See "Local Dial-up Access Providers Summary.")
A good number of systems also provide access for users outside their local areas. Wide-area access is usually offered via a public data network or PDN (contact information listed below), and is specified in the "Long Distance" field. "800" means that the provider is accessible via a "toll-free" U.S. phone number. The phone company will not charge for the call, but the service provider will add a relatively large surcharge to cover the high cost of the 800 service. Please note that prices, access, and services for each of these may change; use the prices listed here for guidance only and not as the definitive pricing structure for each organization.
