+TECH SUPPORT
+Any of the information listed below could change. Check the id software
+Web Site, at www.idsoftware.com, for updates.
+
+A. Tech Support Options
+id Software does charge for technical support, but we strive to offer
+this service at the lowest cost possible. Because volume on the support
+lines dictate costs, we periodically adjust our rates for Voice Tech
+Support. Check our web site for current pricing.
+
+Paying for Voice or Automated Support
+1 -- You can get Voice Support using a major credit card for a one-time
+shot.  The system asks for your credit card number and expiration date,
+then pre-authorizes your credit card for the tech support call. You will
+only be billed for the number of minutes actually used.
+
+2 -- You can assign yourself a rechargeable PIN account. The system prompts
+you for your credit card information, and assigns you a PIN account number.
+You can use the PIN to access Voice Support, Automated Support and the
+Game Hints Line. Once your account runs out, you can charge it up again.
+
+3 -- You may also charge up a PIN account using the number 1 (900) call-2-id.
+Then call back at 1(800)ID-GAMES (1(800)434-3627), and use your new PIN to
+receive all the support and hints you wish.
+
+4 -- id Software's Game Hints Line is accessible either using a PIN account
+via 1 (800) ID-GAMES (see above), or by calling 1 (900) CALL2-ID, which
+places the call on your phone bill.
