Hi Linda,
Most of the major Internet service providors do not offer unlimited time
for their monthly fee.  Our District has a local connection doing this
for us.  You don't say what City you are in, but check out your yellow
pages, KCPT, and local Universities to see about this type of
connection.  Many Universities are offering SLIP connections instead of
just accounts which is an even better deal.  Let me know how you come out!
