The University of Alaska is offering The Alaska Computer
Society members access to the University of Alaska Computer
Network (UACN).  For a nominal monthly fee we would have
access to the following services:

UACN Mail (statewide e-mail system)
Internet e-mail, worldwide
Internet FTP/Gopher services, Telenet, etc.
Usenet (topical message areas)

The monthly rates are:

01-25 accounts:  $20/month/account
26-49 accounts:  $15/month/account
50+   accounts:  $10/month/account

I don't think we will have any problem obtaining 50+
accounts.

To my understanding access will be through local phone
lines and the university will be handling the billing.

Applications and further information will be available at
the next general meeting which will be on February 10th. A
representative from Intuit will be here talking about Quicken
for DOS and Windows.  The meeting will be held at Providence
Hospital in the East auditorium at 7:30 p.m.

The University is offering this service to the group
because of its non-profit status, you will need to be a
member of The Alaska Computer Society to apply.  Your annual
membership contribution to The Alaska Computer Society is a
well spent, tax deductible $25 per year.  Benefits include:

. a monthly newsletter
. access to certain areas on the ACS BBS
. discounts on shareware diskettes
. participate in monthly meeting door prize drawings
. attend special seminars and workshops
. participate in group purchases
. participate in software evaluations
. and now applications for accounts in the University of
  Alaska Computer Network.
