   Sorry Craig, but I have to do my job, too :^}  Blaine, ASAHI Net is
very good and, like TWICS, we have native English speaking phone support.
The info below is valid starting Dec 1.

> 1.  Your ISP Name

   ASAHI Net.

> 2.  Sign-up fee

   Normally 2,000Y, but this is waived if you come by introduction
of a current user.  Needless to say, I can provide this service :^)

> 3.  Monthly charge

   3,000Y/mon for 30 hours or 1,700Y/mon for 15 hours.  If you go over
this allotted time, you pay 3Y/minute.  There's an even cheaper plan,
but I doubt you'd be interesting in it (only 3 hours/month)

> 4.  Connection rate

   Not sure what you mean.  You mean how many times you have to dial
to get on-line?  I get a busy signal maybe 2 times a month, and if
I switch to another access number (Tokyo has 3), I always get it the
next time.  _And_ I often logon at the busiest time of day.

> 5.  Do you get threatened with termination if you stay online too long?

   Never.  It's a timed-payment system :^)

> 6.  Is there a max number of hours you can use your account?

   No.

> 7.  Any other info you all feel applies.

    25MB web space no extra charge, but this can't be used for
    commercial purposes.  English-speaking support staff.  High-speed
    access points all over Japan (unless you live in the deep sticks
    there should be one in your area code), and, starting real soon
    now, all over the US, as well!

    For more info, see http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/en/ or call
    03-3666-9388 (English line) during business hours Mon-Sat.

Yoroshiku!
Dave
