What you need is a uucp feed. I don't know if any public access Internet nodes will
do this, so might have to go the commercial route. Try Holonet (510-704-0160 voice,
or 510-704-1058 modem). They have dial-up numbers locally all over the country, and
are pretty cheap. The minimum is $6/month. I believe there's also a pretty hefty
one-time setup charge.
