Subject: STARLINK - an alternative to PC Pursuit

The following is provided "as-is" for its informational value.  It is from
a file that was recently uploaded to my BBS.  I cannot answer questions as
I have no connection with this service.

STARLINK is an alternative to PC Pursuit.  You can call 91 cities in
28 states during off-peak hours (7pm-6am and all weekend) for $1.50
per hour.  All connections through the Tymnet network are 2400 bps
(1200 bps works too) with no surcharge and there are no maximum hours
or other limitations.

There is a one time charge of $50 to signup and a $10 per month
account maintenance fee.  High volume users may elect to pay a $25
per month maintenance fee and $1.00 per hour charge.

The service is operated by Galaxy Telecomm in Virginia Beach, VA and
users may sign up for the service by modem at 804-495-INFO.  You will
get 30 minutes free access time after signing up.

This is a service of Galaxy and not TYMNET.  Galaxy buys large blocks
of hours from TYMNET.  To find out what your local access number is
you can call TYMNET at (800) 336-0149 24 hours per day.  Don't ask
them questions about rates, etc., as they don't know.  Call Galaxy
instead.

Galaxy says they will soon have their own 800 number for signups and
information.
