You get billed for telnet?  Mine is free, or at least there's no additional 
charge when I use it.

You expected something different?  Keep your eyes open and your wallet closed.

That 1% back for CC usage is tempting, but I'd rather direct my bank to send a 
check -- the 44-cent saving is good enough.  And, although the $5 was tempting, 
my paypal account doesn't know about my checking account.  It's just way too 
easy for somebody to make a mistake that's profitable to them that YOU have to 
straighten out if you want to keep your money.
