ISDN Accounts

Base Accounts

A base account is geared toward the typical individual who gets on the internet 4-5 times a week and may stay on for many hours on a given day. This individual doesn't make a living on the internet nor "live" on the internet. If you use the internet in excess of 100 hours for several months in a row, this is not considered normal use of a base account.
A base account includes:

• Internet access for one individual
• Non-metered access (no per minute charges)*
• Local Lauderdale County dial-in number
• Access to World Wide Web (WWW)
• E-Mail account
• Space for personal home page (non-commercial, no advertising)
• Access to tame newsgroups on the ecsis server
• Access to other internet services - telnet, gopher, etc.

Business Accounts

Because a business may need more time on line a business account is geared toward heavy use during working hours. A business user seldom uses the internet during prime time hours (5-10pm). Average use may climb to 100 hours a month, but never more than 20 prime time hours a month. If you use this account in excess of 20 prime time hours, it is not consider normal use of a business account.

• Internet access for one individual
• Non metered access (no per minute charges)*
• Local Lauderdale County dial-in number
• Access to World Wide Web (WWW)
• E-Mail account
• Access to tame newsgroups on the ecsis server
• Access to other internet services - telnet, gopher, etc.
• E-mail listing in classifieds

Heavy Use Account

Heavy use accounts are for people who use the internet in excess of 100 hours per month up to 250 hours. Heavy usage accounts will also face other restrictions on prime time usage. Hours needed above and beyond 250 hours would require special arrangements and involve per minute pricing on prime time hours.

• Internet access for one individual
• Local Lauderdale County dial-in number
• Access to World Wide Web (WWW)
• E-Mail account
• Space for personal home page (non-commercial, no advertising)
• Access to tame newsgroups on the ecsis server

Dedicated Access

If you need more time on line, you should consider dedicate ISDN access. This will give you an access phone number to you and you alone. Your line will never be busy and will not be shared with others. A dedicated line is the only account in which you may run a proxy server. A proxy server will give internet access to everyone on your LAN through that line. Dedicated is the only 'approved' type of account for hosting. If you only need 33.6, a dedicated analog is also available.

• Internet access for dial-up with dedicate number
• Unlimited use 24hours/7day access, never busy
• Blazing 64K ISDN speed
• Allows use of proxy server (sharing the account with others)
• Access to World Wide Web (WWW)
• E-Mail account
• Space for personal home page (non-commercial, no advertising)
• Access to tame newsgroups on the ecsis server
• Access to other internet services - telnet, gopher, etc.
• Discounts on other services - domain name, commercial web space, etc.

Semi-dedicated 8-5 Access

This access is for businesses that desire 33.6 proxy connections during normal business hours. The monthly price is lower because the business frees the line for residential use during prime time. This accounts gives everyone on your LAN internet access M-F, from 8am to 5pm using your proxy server. We can also offer you a special network box that will give you this if you don't set up a proxy server. Unlike the other dedicated accounts, this account does not get it's own special number.

You are responsible for getting your own software to access the internet. Most are either free or shareware and are available on the internet.

DSL Access

DSL is available for most residental customers inside the city limits of Halls and Ripley. Call us and we can check to see if you can get in the fast lane with DSL.

For residential customers the monthly cost of DSL is not much higher than a second phone line and your current internet account. You can keep your LCTN account and breeze through web pages and downloads. If you want call waiting call the phone company, if you want DSL internet access call your internet service provider, CSS Internet Services.

There are some up front charges involved and some equipment is required, so call or send e-mail for more information. Go fast! Get DSL from CSS Internet Services.

Commercial Presence

A big part of the World Wide Web (WWW) is it's commercial presence. CSS Internet Services has several ways to get your business a place on the web. Check out both our business pages and those at Dyersburg for examples of commercial presence. Note that what Dyersburg calls classified is what CSS calls a sponsor page.

• The low end is a classified listing with other businesses in Lauderdale County. At $10 a month for 100 words, it is a good bang for the advertising buck. Changes are $5 a pop with two free changes per month.
• The next level is a sponsor page. It's a full C O L O R page dedicated to your business. There can be no links on this type of page other than to an E-Mail address on CSS or ECS. For $25 a month you get whatever text will fit on an 8 1/2 by 11 piece of paper and up to 4 scanned pictures. You also get a listing in the classifieds with a link to your page. Page layout and changes are $45/hour.
• A full-blown web page runs $19.50 a month. This includes up to 5MB of text and pictures. You also get a listing in the classifieds with a link to your page. Page layout and changes is $45/hour. The major difference between this page and a Sponsor Page is that this page can be multiple pages and can have links.
• Shared commercial dialup accounts are not available. All dialup accounts are assigned to individuals within the business. No account sharing of any kind is allowed. Better pricing is available with 5 accounts or more.
