Subscribing to CompuServe
Each time you log on during
your free hour, CompuServe asks
if you want to read and agree to
its service terms. By agreeing to
these terms, you will be able to
sign up, while online, for con-
tinued CompuServe service.
CompuServe then will ask for
billing information. Be prepared
to give either your: (1) Master
charge number, (2) Visa charge
number, or (3) bank address and
checking account number.
After signing up, CompuServe
bills you only for the time you
spend online (unless you use
special services). At this writing,
CompuServe's online charge is:
$6.00/hour—standard time
$12.50/hour—prime time
(This is CompuServe's charge for
a 300-baud modem line—which is
the only kind of line you can use
with the Tandy 200 modem cable
or acoustic coupler.)
