From: SMTP%"info@shaq.midex.com" 15-AUG-1995 09:18:11.37 To: everhart@star.zko.dec.com CC: Subj: Midex Information Anonymous User Accounts ======================= There have been several inquiries into the availabiity of anonymous accounts at midex.com. Hopefully, this will answer some of the questions. First, the cost of a shell via telnet is $8.00/month. We will be installing either deslogin, cryptod/ctelnet and/or swIPe to protect packets as close to end to end as possible. We eagerly await the deployment of IPSEC protocols around the net. Until then, packet level security will depend on the use of client/server packages which have some limitations. Hopefully, that will change in the near future. Anyone with better ideas for securing packets should let us know immediately. We will be switching to satellite global newsfeed soon (finances permiting). We do have a full newsfeed here now. We intend on having a local dedicated machine to handle news within the next two months also. We are sorry about the slight delay, but we are concerned about keeping costs down. Any form of anonymous cash payment is acceptable. If you have no need for anonymity pay with check. We do not accept credit card transactions at this time. We will only accept such transactions if we NEVER have to store unencrypted numbers on our machine and the protocols used to transmit these numbers are adequately secure. About legal advice.
