   I usually download from local BBS's and from local Internet
access where I can FTP files to the local host and then download
them to my PC via a local call.  My occasional long distance calling
is only for occasional 'HOT' items and virus protection updates, 
neither end up costing me over $6 per month at 14.4 baud.  For
a private BBS owner I suppose you could rack up a bill like that,
but that's why I call local BBS's -- so THEY can pay $300.  That's
why I pay them subscription fees.
