I looked at that as an option - but thought it was too expensive. :(

I don't mind you asking - it's no secret.
I'm in a Fido void here - there is about 200 k's of the coast not covered
by any net - so I'm free to go where I choose.
I was the first fido node in the area, and initially joined 622 -
Newcastle. Peter Deane, my uplink, went down, and I moved to 713. The
uplink there went down and I switched to 640, becasue I'd always had a
backup link with Barry Ryder at Paradise. Well, when his system went down,
I just moved upstram one and switched to Alwyn.
Lot less politics in 640 and nicer people.
I was going to join 711 at one stage but the NC wouldn't give me a node
numbeer just becasue I called him an arrogant prick - some people are just
too sensitive.
And I did all this on my obAmiga.
