An alternative to Telenet is BT Tymnet, another public data network.
They also have outdial service.  But for only 25-50 KB of data per
day, it might make more sense just to get higher speed dial modems,
such as the many V.32 9600 bps models on the market.  With the MNP 5
or V.42bis compression capability that most such modems have now, the
effective data rate for text can be up to 2-3 times 9600 bps.
