          to with a local phone call. How do I go about locating a local

          The answer to question # 1 will help you find an

          incurring long distance charges. Because, choosing the right
          Internet access provider may save you hundreds of dollars each
          year, this may be one of the most important of "Steve's Essential
          Internet Tips."

       2. What good books can you recommend for someone who wants to get
          started using the Internet? Where can I obtain free books on

          The answer to question #2 will help you find the right
          Internet books and show how to get excellent free books.
       
       3. I heard that one can use a Gopher search tool called Veronica

          Where can I locate a list of ALL the gopher servers in the
          world?

       4. Where can I get a master list of information available by

       DETECTIVE DATABASES
       1995 Edition
       by Steven Woas
       
       A Resource Manual for: Private Detectives, Investigative 
       Reporters, Lawyers, Genealogists, and others who 
       "need to know."
           
       Haven't you ever wondered where private detectives get
       their information? These days, smart detectives get most
       of their information from special databases and
       superbureaus. Some of the information you can uncover
       about a person or corporation is astonishing!  
                
       I had an offer from a book distributor. They wanted me
       to supply a sizeable amount of my product on credit. 
       Before I sent books, I decided I had better check them
       out. So I did some serious research on detective
       databases. Am I glad I did! It turned out they had
       numerous law suits against them. It saved me a lot of
       money. When I contacted one of these database services
       by phone, they did not ask me for my address. They needed 
       only my telephone number and name. They informed me of my
       address--and in a few more minutes they knew more about
       me than my best friend does.
                 
       Detective Databases will give you the information to
       protect yourself. Find out about another person
       or company. Many of these services don't even require
       you to have a computer to get the information. A phone
       and a fax will do just fine. However, a number of these
       companies will offer a discount if you use your modem
       to connect to their services.

       Detective database services being offered include:
                 
       Pre-Employment Screening
       Credit Reports
       Criminal Records
       Driving Records
       Vehicle Ownership by name (find out what vehicles a
         person owns)
       Vehicle Ownership by plate number (find out who owns
         the vehicle and where the person lives)
       Pilot License verification
       Educational Background checks
       Degree Verification
       Judgements
       Social Security number tracing
       Name tracing
       Movers Index (find out where a person has moved)
       Name/address/phone numbers of up to nine nearby neighbors
       Death Records
       Marriage Records
       Real Property Records Nationwide
       Licensed Occupation Reports
         for example--does a doctor have the license he claims?
       Asset searches (find out what the person owns --
         property, property in other states, cars, etc.)
       Skip-Traces (find people who don't want to be found)
       People Identifier (give name and address--get Social
         Security number, spouse, last address/employer)
       and MUCH, MUCH, MORE.
       
                 
       *NEW* with the 1995 edition of Detective Databases is a section
       on INTERNET RESOURCES that could save you a bundle. Exact Internet
       addresses are given so you can get right to these sources.
       For example, the going price for accessing a company's 10K annual
       report used to be up to $240.00 per hour. People all over the
       country are still paying high prices for this information. Now,
       if you have an Internet account, you can often gain access to these
       records for FREE!

       Some companies catering to private investigators are offering
       a CD ROM containing Social Security Administration's Death
       Claims Index for $475.00. The 1995 edition of Detective Databases
       gives the address of a company on the Internet with an 800 number
       (voice) that is offering two CD ROMs with over 45 million Social
       Security Death records for $40.00. Why spend more for this
       information?

       To order Detective Databases, send $29.95 plus $3.00 shipping
       (U.S. funds) for US and Canada. FORIEGN orders add $5.00
       shipping for surface mail. FOREIGN orders add $10.00
       shipping for airmail. Make checks payable to Celestial Press.

       ONLINE MEDICAL!
       A Special Report 
       by Steven Woas
        
       This special report is actually three reports in one. 
       
       1. How Individuals can get online access to medical information. 
       This report will show how anyone can gain access to databases such
       as MEDLINE and where to find Internet medical information. Also,
       how to obtain a list of hundreds of medical BBSs you can access with

       2. Where physicians can obtain an easy-to-use service that provides
       FREE use of online medical reference databases including: MEDLINE,
       GenR, Physicians GenR, Drug Interactions, Clinical Alerts, and
       QMR.

       If you are a physician and are not using these incredible
       databases, don't you think it's time you take advantage of these
       vast, time-saving resources?
       
       3. How to Check Out a Physician. Suppose you have a loved one
       who is going to a doctor who recommends surgery. Perhaps you feel
       a need to investigate to see if the doctor has had past complaints.
       This report will show you how.

          Do you have questions you have had difficulty getting
          answers for? Perhaps it's a job for the Superhighwayman.
          
          To show how the telecommunication Superhighway can work
          for you, Steven Woas will try to answer as many questions
          as possible in this column.
          
          Q. Our family is planning a vacation to Aruba and I am
          wondering if the Internet can help?
          
          A. Yes Indeed! If you are on the Internet and have access
          to the World-Wide Web, you can obtain many free travel
          guides. Point your browser to the following address:
          http://nearnet.gnn/meta/travel/res/countries/cglist.html.
          The travel guides are in alphabetical order. Scroll down
          to Aruba and click. You can then view or download "The
          Unofficial Guide to Aruba -- One Happy Island."  This
          excellent travel guide is by Richard & Karen Booth. Also
          see the Complete List of Resorts on Aruba and a list of
          locally owned lodging places.

          Tourist Web site, you can select Cambridge and see
          information about British rail timetables, bus services,
          Cambridge Cinemas, dentists, museums, hospitals,
          residential post codes, car parking, local banks, radio

          Q. I would like to use my computer and modem to make
          airline reservations. How should I go about it?
          
          A. There are three major online reservations systems
          accessible to the general public. These include Eaasy
          Sabre, Travelshopper, and OAG (Official Airline Guides). 
          
          Eaasy Sabre is a service owned by American Airlines which
          offers you the ability to check flight schedules and
          seating on all the major airlines. Use this service to
          book and shop for flights, also to reserve car rentals
          and hotel rooms. Eaasy Sabre is available as a gateway
          service on America Online (800-827-6364), CompuServe
          (800-848-8199), Delphi (800-695-4005), GEnie (800-638-
          9636), Prodigy (800-776-3449), and other online services.
          Call the toll-free voice numbers listed above for
          information on starting an account and pricing.
          
          Travelshopper offers a similar service and uses host
          computers maintained by DELTA, Northwest Airlines, and
          TWA. Travelshopper is available on CompuServe and Delphi.
          Contact CompuServe or Delphi for pricing. 
          
          Official Airline Guides (OAG) has many of the same type
          of travel services as Eaasy Sabre and Travelshopper, and
          you can access them directly. You can also get to OAG on
          the Internet by TELNETing to oag.com. However, first you
          will need to set up an account. For details contact the
          Official Airline Guides at 800-323-4000 (voice) and ask
          about a free trial offer and a complete information
          package.
          
          CompuServe, Delphi, GEnie, and Dow Jones New Retrieval
          (800-522-3567) make Official Airline Guides available as
          a gateway service. See the description of Eaasy Sabre
          above for the toll-free phone numbers of CompuServe,
          Delphi, and GEnie.    
          
          Q. Are there any good Usenet Newsgroups available on the
          Internet relating to travel? 
          
          A. There are numerous Usenet newsgroups relating to
          travel. These include: rec.travel (general travel),
          rec.travel.asia (travel in Asia), rec.travel.europe
          (travel in Europe), rec.travel.usa-canada (travel in USA
          and Canada), and rec.travel.air (information and tips on
          air travel). 
          
          One travel newsgroup that looks particularly interesting
          is called rec.travel.misc. Here you will find a
          worldwide directory of tourist information offices and a
          large index of travel related files that are available
          for downloading from the groups FTP archive. The
          anonymous FTP address for obtaining these files is
          ftp.cc.umanitoba.ca. If you are using a World-Wide Web
          browser, point it to: http://www.digimark.net/rec-
          travel/.  
          
          Q. I am considering taking a trip to Africa; however, I
          have a deathly fear of snakes. The last thing I want to
          do is to get bitten by a black mamba, because such bites
          are often fatal. What can the Internet do to alleviate my
          fears?
          
          A. Don't worry, just watch your step.  However, if you
          know someone who is unfortunate enough to be bitten by a
          black mamba or any other poisonous snake, spider--or
          encounters a toxic fish; you may be able to get helpful
          information from the Internet. Aim your World-Wide Web
          browser to:
          http://biomed.nus.sg/PID/AV/antivenom.html. That will
          take you to the "Directory of Antivenoms Around the
          World."  This database suggests FitzSimons' Snake Park in
          Durban, South Africa, as an antivenom source for the
          black mamba.
