The
Internet is a worldwide electronic network of information.
When information is loaded onto the Internet, computer
users around the world can access it.
A massive amount of information makes up the Internet,
including books, magazines, music, library materials,
catalogs and commercial and personal communications.
Interactivity
makes the Internet unique. Users can discuss topics
of interest in newsgroups or join live chats.
The
framework of the Internet resembles a spider's web.
The "Web" allows you to move through the Internet, bringing
materials to you in a readable format. The Web uses
text, photos, graphics, video and sound.
NATCO Technologies, a subsidiary of NATCO Communications,
offers toll-free Internet access to homes and offices
in portions of Baxter, Marion and Boone Counties. In
addition, NATCO Technologies' servers can host Web sites
for businesses, organizations or individuals located
anywhere in the United States.
NATCO
Technologies Internet Access Account
Your
first step in getting online is setting up an access
account. NATCO offers NATCO Net (Internet access accounts)
to homes and offices throughout its Twin Lakes and South
Shore service area.
Area residents and businesses can use a NATCO Internet
access account without a long distance charge. When
you sign up for an Internet access account through NATCO,
we'll provide you with a toll-free, local phone number
for modem use.

matter where you live in our service area, NATCO offers
local unlimited access for as little as $19.95 per month.

fits your needs. Call us at 1-800-775-6682.
Does
NATCO have experience with virtual domains?

a server.

E-mail
Only Option
Instead of subscribing to our unlimited Internet access,
you may subscribe to Internet e-mail only. No other
obligation. For more information, call a customer
service representative at 1-800-775-6682.
If
you're planning on being out of town for a while and
want to reduce your monthly costs, consider this:
Instead of closing your NATCO Internet account while
you're away, reduce your account to e-mail only. At
a lower monthly cost, this option preserves your user
ID and password, and allows NATCO to continue accumulating
your e-mail while you're gone. There is no fee to
reduce your account or to reinstate it to full access
when you return. Call for price information.
