Has anyone thought about using GTE's "PC Pursuit" service?  It's available
in 12 major metropolitan areas, and for only $25.00 per month gives unlimited
long distance data calling to any of the other areas.  There are a couple
of restrictions -- there's a callback involved, and calls are limited to
one hour each -- but there's no limit on total hours per month.  Seems like
it could save some backbone sites a *LOT* of money.  (I recall someone posting
an article saying they called GTE to ask about heavy UUCP traffic, and they
were told GTE is not weeding out heavy commercial users.  Yet.)
