Cheap slip/pp connection?
| 
Jan 4 06:55 UTC 1995 |
Has anyone found a price better than $30.00/month for a slip
connection with unlimited connect time? Note this is not to replace
my grex membership to supplement it so I can use Mosaic etc.

If you are somehow related to a school, you can get it from Merit/MichNet
for around $10 per month, I think. Otherwise, they charge $35 per month.

Try oeonline.com If you're in the Detroit area, it's a good choice.
It's 19.95 a month I think. The SLIP connections are still having trouble,
but it's being worked on. You can get there by telnet, or fromt he
Merit which host: prompt type oeonline.com. You can get a free 2 week
trial to see if you like it or not.

upon reading this I telnetted to oeonline.com to check it out. It turns
out to be a service run by the Observer-Eccentric Newspapers, and yes, they
are offering internet and SLIP access (there's a 40 dollar set-up fee for a
SLIP account. Prices are 19.95 per month billed to a credit card, or 14.95
per month paid for 6 months up front, or an incredible 9.95 per month paid
for 1 year up front! Which one do you think I went for? ;)
They can apperantly be reached through Merit, or through a dial-in in
Livonia.

re#3: does oeonline.com have local dial-up service for Ann Arbor/Ypsi?
in rspns#2 it was implied you could connect to them via Merit, but
is this still true?
I've tried sojourn.com, who was supposed to be a local dial-up
(via Merit) but Merit bumped them off the modems as restricted
hosts. They are supposed to be installing their own dedicated
modems which will be accessed via the Merit numbers, but they are
at least 2 weeks past due for that. They charge about $18/mo for
slip/ppp access.

Isthmus is now doing PPP/SLIP accounts with unlimited time for $25 per
month. They even give you your own IP address, rather than assigning
them dynamically. See http://www.izzy.net for mor einformation.
