I recently joined by purchasing one of those previously mentioned starter kits for $40. It contained a binder full of documentation, and a user password good for 5 free hours of connect time. Let's see, at $5 per hour, 5 free hours comes to $25, so maybe the extra $15 is the initial fee, effectively disproving my opening statement. Oh well, I still think it's worth it, as long as you don't go overboard....I've heard rumors of somebody having to pay a $700 monthly bill.
