inexpensive telnet/rlogin access to Internet host computers around the
clock through local dialups available on a national basis.
Reston, Virginia - September 4, 1991 - John T. Eldredge, Director of
Sales and Marketing, Performance Systems International, Inc. (PSI)
today announced a new, simple means to access tens of thousands of
Internet host computers called Global Dialup Service (GDS). GDS
provides a commonly-available way for individuals to access their
accounts on Internet host computers, at any hour of the day or night,
through the popular telnet or rlogin protocols. This service only
requires a personal computer or terminal, basic communications
software and a modem set at 300, 1200, or 2400 baud. Dialup points
are available locally in major cities throughout the continental US,
as well as internationally, through locally available X.25 PADS.
Eldredge commented, "The demand for simple access to the thousands of
Internet hosts for traveling professionals and remote organizational
offices, independent of local times, continues to grow. GDS
inexpensively meets this basic need for thousands of individuals."
The PSI Global Dialup Service is currently served in over 20 cities
across the country, with additional cities being added each month.
GDS is available seven days per week, 24 hours per day, and costs just
$39 per month. There is a one-time registration fee of $39.
