Call-by-Call
setup using MSN in Germany
This is how you can manually install the MSN Easysurfer
to your PC. Check the MSN website at www.msn.de/easysurfer
for call rates (as of Aug 2002 it was 1.5 Eurocents per minute).
Your access is made without signing up, without a contract,
without extra dial charges, without registration, but with "to the second"
exact billing on your telephone providers bill, and availability advertised
as 24 hrs 7 days a week.
To get the EasySurfer page roughly translated from German
into English, go to my web page (http://faculty.ed.umuc.edu/~bennette)
and select "translations" from the Directory and Enter the URL that you
would like translated.
