Seconded!  Both to 'connect' and 'we'll pay our share'.     We want to be 
able to FTP from the internet.   We need a number of RFC's for one of our
projects, and have been able to get them by mail server in some cases, and
by the kind assistance of people who *can* FTP in others (and we have made
them available for niftp in the UK),  but we really need to be able to get
things for ourselves.

ukc has a leased line to mcvax, which can now connect to the internet.
So it should be possible for UK sites to connect over IP.

How about it, ukc?    And do other sites want to connect too?
