If the NSF would permit it, I am sure somebody could be convinced to set
up a 1-900 number which connects you to a variant of FTP that lets you
rout around in anonymous FTP directories (or any others you have permissions
for) and download from them.

I say a variant becuase you don't want to copy the file to the local host and
then uucp it at 900 prices, you would rather the socket from the archive
host be connected directly to a zmodem send program, for example.

Or a very clever uucp that, assuming you know what you want, can uucp a file
like sitename:file for you using anonymous FTP.
