Some arguments which could be used:

* Most BBS access is done off peak - the PSTN is only stressed in business
hours.
* Is the extra money charged going from private to business rates really
going to have any significant effect on telstras ability to provide the
service.
* In the age of digital switches and fiber between exchanges are 60 minute
calls a real problem?  
* Attempt to find a sympathetic ear in the media, prefereably press and TV

Good luck
Greg
