Yes, they have six-second billing, but they also have a 1-minute minimum. They also charge more for the first minute than they do for subsequent minutes. Their salesman told me that they don't bill for calls under 1 minute at all, but they same salesman told me that the first minute was NOT loaded, which turned out not to be true. (I haven't gotten a bill yet, so I don't know about not billing under 1 minute - I'll report back - my FIDOnet system should give *that* a good test...). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- First mention of a Fidonet BBS on USENET... http://groups.google.com/groups?q=fidonet&start=700&hl=en&scoring=d&as_drrb=b&as_mind=17&as_minm=5&as_miny=1981&as_maxd=11&as_maxm=12&as_maxy=1987&rnum=781&selm=7932%40brl-tgr.ARPA [...] DEC-Ware II Fido BBS ...........................(201)-750-3748 David Horowitz;;(3B,5M);Dec Rainbow 100B+; MS-DOS 2.05 Public Domain for Rainbow, generic MS-DOS, generic CP/M 80 and 86.

The usual msg base, file up and download via XMODEM, MODEM batch mode, extended TELINK mode. 10 Mb space, about 2 M files. Trying to keep mostly generic MSDOS utils and sources; about 75:25 Generic:PC. BBS software is new (not in BASIC) and is available for FREE for downloading. No time limits, etc (yet!) CP/M software is OK too; not too much there yet, except some stuff for BDS (Unix file i/o system, utilities). Mostly C and assembly; only one (1) program in basic. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- First posting of Fidonews on USENET [Volume 3, Number 37 - 29 September 1986] http://groups.google.com/groups?q=+Tim-Pozar+%22Tom+Jennings+%22&hl=en&scoring=d&as_drrb=b&as_mind=17&as_minm=5&as_miny=1981&as_maxd=11&as_maxm=12&as_maxy=1987&rnum=40&selm=1858%40well.UUCP ---------------------------------------------------------------------- First thread where USENET folks are concerned about PC's connecting... http://groups.google.com/groups?q=fidonet&start=700&hl=en&scoring=d&as_drrb=b&as_mind=17&as_minm=5&as_miny=1981&as_maxd=11&as_maxm=12&as_maxy=1987&r num=782&selm=3798%40ucbvax.ARPA ---------------------------------------------------------------------- First mention of UFGATE... http://groups.google.com/groups?q=ufgate&hl=en&scoring=d&as_drrb=b&as_mind=17&as_minm=5&as_miny=1981&as_maxd=11&as_maxm=12&as_maxy=1987&rnum=6&selm=2419%40hoptoad.uucp From pozar@lns.com Wed Jan 16 09:19:47 2002 Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2001 16:27:12 -0800 From: Tim Pozar To: tomj@wps.com Cc: Brian Clayton , zorch@repairnet.com, zorch@zorch.net Subject: Why in my day...
