Re: Net access in south

(Regarding Internet access in the south, and the lack of postings from
Carolinas etc. on LM_NET)
I'm from South Carolina and an occasional participant in LM_NET, though I
usually follow Sig.EDTECH. Here in South Carolina, virtually all schools
in the state have free access to FrEdMail, which provides an Internet
address, E-Mail, and access to educational newsgroups like LM_NET.
Throughout the south, for $25.00 (yes, twenty five dollars), a school can
get Internet access through SERVE (Gopher, FTP, text based WWW, WAIS),
and each teacher in a school can have his/her own account. It's not so
much that access isn't available, it's that few teachers avail themselves
of the opportunity.
