Current as of: July 1993 SprintNet Logon Instructions ---------------------------- When accessing GEnie via SprintNet, you will incur a $2.00 per connect hour communications surcharge. This surcharge applies to all GEnie usage, including your first four hours. PLEASE NOTE: If you are dialing long-distance to access GEnie, we do not recommend dialing a surcharged access number, as you will incur the $2.00 per connect hour surcharge in addition to long-distance charges. Also note, interstate long-distance calls are usually less expensive than intrastate long- distance calls. Please contact your local telephone company to verify the long-distance charges. *Optional* Local Error Protection ------------------------------------ The 2400 baud access numbers will allow MNP connections up to level 3. When using local error protection for speeds of 2400 bps or less, your modem must be MNP compatible, or you can use MNP compatible software in your PC.
