I was told uunet had only one price for any speed connection, so if
$24.27/Meg costs too much, do you have a 9600 baud modem?  If you don't
buy one at least that fast, if you do step up to 19.2 (anything faster
is too much money for me to justify, but mabie you have deeper pockets
for long range expences then I do...).
