2-Year dial access with shell 110MB quota $240 - Time Running Out!

[Robert Dinse <nanook@eskimo.com>]

     If you wish to take advantage of the 2-year dial plan A sale, times
running out.  In order to take advantage of this your payment must be
post-marked by August 15th!

     This includes shell access with 110MB of disk quota, web hosting under our
domain (you can make it under your own domain with the addition of a virtual
domain, http://www.eskimo.com/host/virtual-domains.html.html), hosting of two mail
lists, hosting of two IRC bots, and all the other Unix shell services. 

     This two years would extend whatever your present expiration date is by
two years.  If your account presently is paid through January 19th of 2002,
then your new account expiration date would be January 19th of 2004. 

     If you are presently on another dial plan, you would be switched over to
dial plan A right away, but you'd also get the increased disk quota right away. 

     Dial plan A now includes access numbers from both Qwest and StarPOP, so in
most major locations there is redundancy just as with plan B.  With dial plan
A, the Qwest numbers are using Cisco equipment and the StarPOP numbers are
using Ascend equipment so one or the other will be compatible with most major
brands of modems.  If you have either a Lucent Technologies or USR modem,
please be sure you have the most recent firmware as there are compatibility
issues with the older firmware that will cause you to get v.34 connect speeds
(33.6k max) instead of V.90 connect speeds and these issues are resolved with
current firmware.  Generally the firmware issues are more of a problem with the
Cisco equipment than with the Ascend, the latter seems to have far fewer
compatibility problems.

     If you presently have plan B and are using a MegaPOP number and it is
working well for you, then plan A Qwest numbers should work well as both use
Cisco.  If you are on plan B and using a UUNET number, the plan A StarPOP
numbers should work well as both are Ascend.  If you are on plan E, Telia uses
a mix so what will work best will take some experiementation.
