  Just a note here... Portal is not as cheep as Mr. Laser would have you
believe.  Intrigued by the statement "Portal's rates are very low" I called
up Portal through Telenet and got the prices.  While it system does seem to
have more features than Plink did it is also a bit more.
  There's a $20 signup fee along with a $14 monthly fee... On top of that
there is a $2.50 an hour fee for Telenet's off-peak hours (after 6pm).
Telenet's peak hour cost is like $5 or $10 depending.

  I will admit though a direct dialup or PC pursuit (though you get only 30
hrs/month) is a good deal.  That's what I used to use when I connected to
Plink.

  Just some 'additional' information before people start jumping in on
something unknown.
