Welcome to The Portal Information Network.  If you want no-hassle Internet
access at the best price--at home, the office, and around the world--CHOOSE
PORTAL.

Portal is the leading Internet dial-up provider.  We've been in business for
8 years, connecting people to the Internet longer than anyone else.  We focus
exclusively on providing dial-up Internet access.

What does our experience and focus do for you?  It provides you with:
	o Best worldwide coverage
	o Roaming Internet accounts
	o Highly reliable, fast access and response
	o The most affordable price

BEST WORLDWIDE COVERAGE
No matter where you live or work, you can access the Internet through Portal.
That's because our nationwide network of 1,100 local access numbers and 150,000
modems gives us, by far, the best coverage.  And for an estimated 95% of U.S.
population, access to Portal is through a local call.  Plus, if you travel
overseas, you get remote access from over 100 foreign countries.  We use both
the SprintNet and CompuServe networks, so you reap the benefits of working with
the world's largest data networks. If you have a question about availability of
a local access number for your area, please call Portal directly.

ROAMING INTERNET ACCOUNTS
Portal lets you "roam," using the Internet.  Wherever you go, your own Internet
account is there with you.  Automatic Internet software and Portal continue to work
together to give you the same secured, personalized account access, across the
country or across the globe -- wherever you roam!

HIGHLY RELIABLE, FAST ACCESS AND RESPONSE
The Portal Information Network gives our users reliable, fast access and response
because we have built "redundancy" into our system architecture.  In other words,
we have duplicated our computers and high-speed network connections so that if any
part stops working, its twin picks up the task.  That way, you never have to worry
about whether your message will get through the Internet.

THE MOST AFFORDABLE PRICE
Our regular rates are the lowest for true nationwide access.  And if you sign up
using Automatic Internet, we'll give you an even better deal.

until you have agreed to the terms of the agreement and pricing.
