UNIVERSAL ACCESS -- Digital Express Internet Access via telnet session-- $8.95 per month unlimited Internet Access Universal Access is designed for users who can telnet from other systems on the Internet. The Universe system provides full Internet capabilities, such as Telnet, FTP, IRC, and access to Gopher, WAIS, etc. All newsgroups are available, of course. Users on the Internet who do not have full Internet capabilities at their home sites can telnet into Universe for the flat rate of $8.95 per month; no time charges apply. Because Digital Express respects user privacy, anonymous accounts can be established* Your Universe account will be a Unix shell account, connected to the Internet with a T1 high speed connection. A wide range of software is available for your use, and new packages are frequently installed by our operations staff. Disk storage is limited to 3 megabytes per user, and compilers and other development oriented packages are not available. "Screen" and other packages which allow multiple windows are not permitted on the Universe system. Each user is restricted to one login session at a time. There are no telephone dial in lines associated with the Universe system. If you need an account without these restrictions, consider an Express Access account, starting at only $15 per month.
