I have no idea (I'm not an Ihug employee or representative).  However I
suspect that wouldn't circumvent the 300 hour limit because it would still
be the one account and Ihug would just count the time you were using it.
There was no official time limit before and dialup only was useful if the
3GB download "limit" was going to be exceeded (otherwise it was ~$100/GB
thereafter, i.e. 10c/MB).

If you set your computer to dial on demand with an automatic logoff after 5
or so minutes of inactivity it's quite possible you would never have to give
the 300 hour/month limit another thought.

Regards,
Adam
