How's about paying for a leased line? When you have ISDN,
dial-on-demand is the most considerate use of a dial-up connection. I
have my system set up this way and find much of the time while I am
reading web pages etc. I am actually not connected. The idea of trying
to sneak around the controls in place to minimise the use of bandwidth
we all have to share is very selfish.
