Subject: Internet access question


Well, I'm new to this alias but I have a question that I
hope to get some advice on...

I have compuserve currently at home on my power pc but I
want to have Netscape as my browser so I am planning on
purchasing Netscape. Do I still need the online services like
compuserve in order to get to the internet_ 

I am also working on developing a web page and turning my 
computer into a server. Do I need an online service provider
to access my page on my mac still_

I don't have alot of hands on experience with the Internet
but I really want to get into it. Any advice is appreciated
along with suggestions on the most cost effective online
provider would be great.

Thanks
Julie
