It is beyond the scope of this document to discuss how you can get
onto the Internet yourself.  However, many of the service providers
listed above provide Internet connections as well as newsfeeds and
will help you through the process of getting onto the Internet.
Furthermore, the book "Connecting to the Internet" (see the
"Bibliography" section below) is a step-by-step to the process of
getting connected, and contains a more extensive list of Internet
service providers.

If you are already on the Internet and would like your news feed to
be over the Internet rather than over a modem link, then you might
want to look in the UUCP maps in comp.mail.maps, as mentioned above,
since many Usenet sites that are on the Internet are mentioned there.
News.admin.misc and the commercial services listed above are also
viable options.

You can get a list of Dedicated Line Internet Access Providers
from dlist@ora.com (just send an empty message).

For a list of dialup Internet service providers, send email to
info-deli-server@netcom.com with the single line query
