'Star Trek' to hit EarthLink

"Star Trek" has a new mission: to explore strange new worlds online. EarthLink said Tuesday that it has teamed with Paramount Digital Entertainment to offer "Star Trek"-branded Net access in an attempt to seek out new subscribers. The service, available to people using dial-up or high-speed Internet connections, offers fans a "Star Trek"-themed browser, a StarTrek.net e-mail address, and other features such as desktop wallpaper, sounds and icons. In addition, subscribers will receive sneak peeks at "Star Trek" productions, interviews with the cast and crew, and other content related to the premiere season of "Enterprise," the latest installment of the "Star Trek" TV series. --Gwendolyn Mariano, Special to ZDNet News
