Hi Laurent,

I posted an inquiry on the uunet/WorldCom site and got this response:
---------------------------------------------------------------------

 Thank you for contacting WorldCom.

 At this time, WorldCom does not offer Internet Access for the typical
 home user. If you are a very heavy user and are interested in a
 dedicated line, such as a fractional or full T1, then please call
 800-488-6383.

 We hope that this e-mail has sufficiently answered your question. If
 you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to reply to this
 e-mail.

 Sincerely,

 Jerry
 WorldCom Sales Support

 I am inquiring about consumer internet access - plans and pricing

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, it doesn't appear that uunet supports consumer plans, only
business/university ones. Dang...

Regards,

Gary

Hmmm, maybe I'm not looking at the right place, but although they provide
information about the various products they offer, I haven't found a place
where you can get prices or enroll. Any idea?

self-deprecating way of denying responsibility for a management decision, or
of complaining about having to live with such decisions. As in "Don't ask me
why we need to write a compiler in COBOL, I'm just a code monkey."
