   Hey MRO!   
      
   At some point, you wrote:

   People still use Eternal September because it's one of the last free,   
   text-only providers left. Most people here aren't interested in binaries, so   
   if you have some sort of extensive list of *free, text-only* providers, please   
   feel free to share.   
      
   Regards,   
   Nick
