I've not used CSi for Internet connectivity very much, if for no other reason than the specialized dial-up connector, and the relative paucity of 56K nodes, and I had an overheaded account as a sysop. I'm still there, and still a sysop with an overheaded account, but I hate the new interface (the best thing CSi had to offer was great off-line readers) and the new fora I work with result in a relatively diffuse and incoherent community in Emerging Technologies.
