````````````````````GEV List Thingy, July 31st'''''''''''''''''''' From: sjackson@someplace.hidden (Steve Jackson) Subject: Information to be leaked to the masses. In a month, we'll be ON the Internet. If you have telnet access, we'll be able to communicate real-time Real Soon Now. Yes, our current software [for the BBS] stinks, which is why we're throwing it away. Details about the Internet link are still not solid, but feel free to pass along the following speculations: Accessible by Telnet. $10/month flat fee. Eventually there will be some premium services added, but $10/month gets conference areas, a very large MOO in which programmer bits are handed out like candy, and various other BBS-style features, NOT all game-related. And definitely not all SJGames related . . . we will set up conference space for any company that wants it. We will soon be officially recruiting conference hosts. Oh, yes, It WILL be possible to use so much time in a month that we tack on extra charges, but at this point the lowest amount of access anybody is talking about is something like 40 hours, and right now we don't care about "prime time."
