This is a 30 day test kit for email (maybe) and news, in the US and Canada, under Windows. What is really included here is a crippleware demo version of the MKS mail and newsreader software for Windows. Arrangements have been made with The Rabbit Network Inc. for thirty days' free access through an "800" number. At the end of thirty days, the demo will stop working, but you can contact MKS and get an "upgrade" for fifty bucks more (sixty, in Canada), and contact Rabbit for a proper account. (Alternate arrangements have been made with Portal. This "30 days free" is valid for only the first five hours, and requires a credit card number for validation.) The book is basically documentation of the MKS software, although about a quarter of it is taken up with an extensive Internet provider list. For those who want a taste of email and news, this might be a handy start. I'll have to review the software to comment further on it. copyright Robert M.
