(Mail wouldn't make it through, and I suppose it's public interest anyway...)
Presumably you meant 718 area code, and 718 is for all effective
purposes (including billing) the same NPA (area code) as 212, so
anyuway, The Big Electric Cat, 212-879-9031 (2400 is you get lucky,
otherwise 1200) a.k.a. dasys1.uucp.  There's an extremely nominal
monthly fee, and their connectivity problems have probably been fixed
for good.  Mail to dasys1!rsweeney@cmcl2.nyu.edu for more info, or
just call.
