     I happen to be one of those individual users;  not particularly heavy,
but heavy enough not to be able to afford the price increase.

     Therefore, I have been considering turning my Amiga into a UUCP node,
and getting a feed from somewhere.  Unfortunately, I live in the middle of
IBM-land (New York's mid-Hudson Valley), and although there are several
universities a local call away, all of them are on BITNET.  All the UUCP
sites I could find in the maps are a long distance call away.

     So, I ask:  What's the least expensive way of getting a very limited
feed (like comp.sys.amiga[.tech], comp.binaries.amiga, and comp.lang.misc)?
What are UUNET's rates like?  Where should I look?

     If this is not the proper newsgroup in which to ask this question, what
is?
