I did compuserve. It was about $10 a month. They had a lot of local numbers so you didn’t have to pay Toll charges. Never had any problems logging in except during a “construction event”. Meaning some backhoe operator sliced a cable in the street somewhere. No graphics, just text. Used Archie a lot to find stuff.
