                                RATE STRUCTURE
   
   
   The rates listed below do not include the monthly line charge for the
   physical connection to your site. Ameritech will bill you directly.
   

Analog Modem access - $50/month

   Analog access is through our hunt group of 28.8 and 33.6-capable
   modems, supporting script, PAP, and CHAP authentication for automatic
   login.
   

ISDN - 64K $90/month or 128K $170/month
   
   ISDN access is via a dedicated ISDN router supporting CHAP
   authentication. Your remote ISDN equipment should support synchronous
   or V.120 PPP at 64Kbps, or 128Kbps with MultiLink PPP.
   
   The lead time for Ameritech installation of new ISDN lines is 2-6
   weeks.
   Ameritech charges a per-minute rate for business ISDN calls and for
   residential calls beyond the 8-mile 'A zone' limit. Call for details.
   
   Please Note
          Most personal computers cannot utilize the full bandwidth of a
          128K 2-channel ISDN connection through a standard serial card
          and ISDN 'terminal' device. We recommend an ISDN Router for
          128K service.

                             LEASED LINE SERVICE
   
   
   Dedicated analog and other leased connections provide a permanent
   point-to-pint link between your location and the Internet. While these
   services have a higher initial cost, the monthly rate is generally
   lower and a reliable connection 24-hours a day is assured.
