PC Pursuit is a service offered by GTE Sprint (SprintNet) that allows
you to buy blocks of non-prime usage for very low fees.  The outdial
points are anywhere there is a TymeNet node; cities that can be dialed
into are somewhat restricted (to about 15 or so, as I recall it).
Prices are by the month; $30 for 30 hours or $50 for 60 hours.
Distance doesn't matter, so long as where you are calling is local to
one of the 'Outdial Cities' (the 15 or so places you can connect
into).  Service is currently restricted to 2400 baud.  Usage during
prime time or over your allotted block of time will cost you extra on
a by the minute basis.

I don't have the number to call to sign up handy, but if you can't
find it send me mail and I'll see if I can dig it up at home.
