The following is a non-comprehensive list of Internet providers.  
The costs associated with Internet access as well as the services provided
vary widely.  You should shop around in your community and ask a lot of 
questions before determining which provider is right for you.  

You need to make sure ensure that your connection is PPP and that your account 
provides you with access to Usenet(Network News).  When you get your account, 
remember to ask for the following information:
UserName
Password
Phone number and any connection requirements
Domain Name Server adderess

Inclusion on this list is in no way a recommendation of the service and 
similarly failure to appear on this lis tis in no way a lack of recommendation.
If you have(or are) a Interenet Service provider and would like to appear on 
this list then please send e-mail to ISPlist@orres.com
