I'm with you .. in Australia, demand-dial IP connections are charged at
between $A3 and $A10 per hour. Full time connections start at $A400/month
for 14k4 AFTER paying an obligatory $A4,500 up-front for router/slip-server
(reference: http://www.aarnet.edu.au/aarnet/pricelist.html). Only a
privileged few can manage this .. :-(
