I want to be able to call Berkeley from San Francisco for long
periods of time (modem calls) for as little cost as possible.
Unfortunately, it is just farther than my local calling area.
However, there is an intermediate region for which both cities
are local calls. I came up with the idea that I could somehow
get a line in the intermediate region and use call forwarding
to Berkeley from it. This should give me local calls from SF
through this line to Berkeley.

Of course, I don't really want a physical line. I wonder if there is
some way I could convince the phone company to let me make the calls for
the equivalent cost without their having to actually give me the line.
Or, is it possible to get a line which doesn't have a physical address.
Any speculations or suggestions are welcome.
