I've just moved to Larkspur in Marin, and will be spending a lot of
time connected to a computer in Berkeley. To do this directly costs
21c/10c per minute on Pacific Bell. I can cut this by about 60% using
one of their calling plans, but it will still be a lot of money if I
stay connected for a few hours every day.

Can anyone think of an alternative way of making this connection (the
machine at Berkeley has telnet / FTP access, so a local Internet site
would be perfect).

Thanks a lot.
