Kak uzhe pisal Alginin (sm. nizhe - M.S.), primerno god nazad rezko izmenilas' situatsiya s set'yu Relcom/Internet. AO "Relcom" izmenilo svoyu tsenovuyu politiku - teper' oni uzhe ne berut oplatu za kazhdiy kilobayt IP traffica, a berut FIKSIROVANNIE dengi za IP connectivity i dayut limit v 200 M traffika iz/za granitsy USSR (in/out). 200M - eto vpolne normalno, no dlya teh, kto previsit 200M, nuzhno zaplatit nekotoruyu summu i dalee mozhno kachat voobshche bezlimitno. (A traffic vnutri USSR bezlimiten polnostyu).

Izmenenie politiki AO Relcom vyzvalo analogichnoe izmemenie politiki Relcom service providers (v Kharkove eto ktts.kharkov.ua s ego liniey na Moskvu).

Teper' vse IP uzly perestali zhlobitsya. My ne dolzhni teper' platit' za to, chto na nashi FTP/WWW servery vhodyat iz/za rubezha. Nachalsya burniy rastzvet FTP/WWW/IP BBS. Stalo nemnogo legche prostym lyudyam nedorogo (a esli povezet to i bespaltno) poluchit' e-mail ili account.

Vtoraya liniya iz Kharkova v okruzhayushchiy mir idet na L'vov/Kiev. Liniya pronadlezhit to li KhPI, to li gorsovetu. Ona ne yavlayetsya polnotsennim backup'om moskovskoy linii - no nemnogo oblegchaet zhizn.

Kstati, o tsenah. Nedorogoy E-mail (programma UUPC under MSDOS) mozhno poluchit za 15$ registratsii, 10$ per month za podderzhku imeni i eshche 5-10$ v mesyats nabezhit za traffic pisem.

Ili mozhno za fiksirovannoyu summu 40$ per month poluchit account ili SLIP/PPP (ne bolee 4 chasov v sutki).

Eto tseni uzla Infocom (tel.23-51-02), no naskolko ya znayu, na uzle Gorliaka tseni primerno togo zhe poryadka. Vybor uzlov chashe vsego opredelyaetsya, k komu lushche prozvon modemom.

...primerno god nazad rezko izmenilas' situaciya s dostupom za rubezh - poyavilsya novyj provider, uanet.kharkov.ua, imeyuschij vydelenku 19200 na L'vov, ottuda stoit 64K tarelka na Pol'shu. Glavnaya radost' - traffic ne oplachivaetsya (v otlichie ot Relcoma, gde IP traffic stoit 5c/K). Vse eto dejstvuet pod kryshej Ministerstva vysshego obrazovaniya (ili kak tam nazyvaetsya zanimayuschayasya vuzami kontora) - so L'vova sosut esche Kiev, Odessa, kto-to esche. V rezul'tate vse, kto imeet account na bbs.uanet.kharkov.ua aka lviv-kharkov.kpi.kharkov.ua i vse, kto zaceplen po SLIP na gate.uanet.kharkov.ua, imeyut polnocennyj Internet (pravda po zapadnym merkam ochen' medlennyj). Oficial'no eto stoit: shell account - $15/month+$1/hour online, SLIP - do $150/month v zavisimosti ot skorosti.

...esli ["$15/month + $1/hour"] vdrug kogo-to ustraivaet, to pust' zvonyat Sergeyu Gorlyaku ili Stasu Voronomu, telefon 277590, e-maily sootvetstvenno sfg@uanet.kharkov.ua i vsv@uanet.kharkov.ua (ili vmesto uanet lviv-kharkov.kpi.kharkov.ua - ne znayu, gde oni chasche chitayut pochtu, no lviv-kharkov pridet besplatno cherez L'vov, a uanet - cherez Moskvu i KIAE za den'gi)...
