Online services are managed by a host system that maintains a base of information available to satellite users. Users of so-called “dumb” terminals (i.e., those without processing capability) simply access the information base via programs stored on the system. Personal computer (PC) users typically access the host through a modem (调制解调器). A PC software program serves as an interface (接口) between the server and a PC, allowing the user to operate through the online system and select different databases using a keyboard of a mouse.

National and regional online systems usually have local telephone numbers that PC modems can call to access either a local information base or an indirect long-distance connection, thus reducing long-distance telephone fees. Some online systems allow users to copy large volumes of

information onto a local memory storage device, which also reduces the time the user is connected to the online system.

service, users usually pay a monthly membership gee. They may also pay to connect to various databases on the service or to download information.
