COMPUSERVE LAUNCHES INTERNET-ONLY SERVICE
CompuServe has started a new Internet-only service called Sprynet,
offering unlimited access for a flat fee of $19.95 a month.  At the
same time, the company announced it initially would block Sprynet
customers from access to more than 200 online forums where sex-related
issues are discussed, becoming the first big Internet service provider
to restrict that kind of information.  Meanwhile, AOL's chairman
announced America Online's Internet-only GNN business has attracted
more than 100,000 customers in the past 90 days.  (St. Petersburg
