These provide dial-up connections(via your modem) to the internet. Generally there is a local phone number giving access (sometimes more than one), and an 800-number for access from anywhere in the US (rates for using this can be somewhat higher). They also provide you with all the software necessary for doing e-mail and web-browsing from your computer via their service. (In the case of KSU Telecommunications, these will be part of a bundled software package called the CatPack. With some service providers, you have options about different e-mail programs.) All offer a variety of pricing options.
At the bottom of the page I have listed several places that offer free browser-based e-mail service. But to use them, you first have to be connected to the internet via some internet access provider.

Being careless about this could be quite harmful to your interests! Read here to find out how to avoid this.
