I remember writing a script in my modem software (ProComm 2.4.3...had to look it
up...) that would dial up CompuServe, check the AP News headlines, download the
latest hour's news, check for e-mail, download it, and log off.  Typically in a
minute or two.  It was all text, of course....

internet days (remember CompuServe per minute pricing?).  Customers hated it and
eventually every major ISP at the time abandoned it.
