PC Pursuit is a terrific service provided by telnet inc.  It allows you to
have unlimited numbers of data calls to (25?) major cities for only $25 a
month, as long as the calls are between 6pm and 7am (relatively long hours.)
You can still make the calls between 7am and 6pm, it just costs $10-$15 an
hour... which is probably still a savings from AT&T, especially if you're
calling across the country.  It's a great thing for dial-up networks such
as UUCP and FidoNet, as you can have a link to a node that's quite far away
for very little charge.

  Hope that helped...
