The e-mail was sent to dial-up customers and kept simple to minimize
confusion. It stated that, if purchased, it would cost a $20 setup fee and
$8.00 a month (which is correct).
The form at:http://help.msu.edu/downloads/netidservices.pdf under "New NetID
Services" allows you to purchase just a NetID (without dial-up access) if
you wish. The NetID alone is a $10 setup fee and $1 a month with the dial-up
services being an additional $10 setup and $7 a month so if you wanted
dial-up you would pay:
NetID setup: $10
Dial-up setup: $10
------------------
Total setup: $20
Monthly NetID: $1/month
Monthly Dialup: $7/month
-----------------------
Total Monthly for this situation: $8/month
The form also allows for additional options (including extra storage).
