>Anybody know a local(ish) dial-up number for the LA area? I've got a Compuserve account (I don't actually use it much) that I want to use while I'm in Costa Mesa. My main ISP is based in England but I don't think I will get my local rate from LA!!

Hi,

This was true when I last used Compuserve (2 years ago).

In one of the subdirectories of the Compuserve software installation is a text file that contains all of the worldwide dialup numbers. Unfortunately I can't remember the details. Maybe if you look around a bit, you can find it.
