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). /sgt Chris Wolf writes: > At 05:18 PM 5/25/2004, Doug Nelson wrote: >> That's a good question.
