I have been able to negotiate a flat rate per hour (no kchar charges)
with Tymnet. They require some large monthly minimums, but are
quite willing to talk about a flat hourly charge.

I believe Compuserve has a flat monthly rate. you pay by the
number of simultaneous connections that you want permitted. It's something
like $750 per connection with a 6 connection minimum.

Flat rates are available. You have to know to ask for them and
be prepared to haggle over the eventual rate.
