Dial-up: Pay your bill online!

NATCO customers can pay their bills online now, thanks to a secure feature available on the NATCO Technologies Web site, located at www.natcotech.com/payonline.htm. All you need is your NATCO account number (check your bill) and a major credit card. Your payment will show up on your next month's bill.

If you need to pay your bill and you're not near your computer, you may also call our offices during regular business hours (phone 453-8822 or 1-800-775-6682) and an account representative will take your payment over the phone.

E-mail: Only need an e-mail address?

NATCO has long provided e-mail access to customers through our bulletin board system, or BBS. Using the BBS requires a customer to use proprietary software. The advantage of BBS e-mail is that a customer can have access to e-mail without having Internet access - hence the need for the software.

Now, however, due to recent equipment upgrades, customers can have regular Internet e-mail accounts without needing this software to access their mail.

For those customers who only need access to e-mail, and not to other Internet services such as the World Wide Web, this service will be provided at a cost of $3/month. You can use any of the domain names available -- for a full list, go to: http://www.natcotech.com/internet.htm.

For details, please call NATCO's offices at 453-8822 or 1-800-775-6682

Web pages: Find cheap gas online

With gas prices on the rise this summer, many consumers feel their budgets tightening and their wallets shrinking every time they fill up their vehicles at the gas pumps.

A Web site dedicated to helping those consumers find cheap gas may help. Located at http://www.gaspricewatch.com, this Web site tracks gas prices daily, including many stations in the South Shore area. In addition to listing gas prices, the site also provides information on how old the prices are.

To find cheap gas, click on "US Gas" on the sidebar and enter your Zip code. You can select a radius from that Zip code for searching. A list will then appear of all reported gas prices.
