In metropolitan areas, users can access through a local number...avoiding long distance calls. In rural areas we use an 800 number but time is limited to 45 minutes per day. We do not have accounts for students. I *think* that originally the plan was to include student accounts, but the expense has been so great, or perhaps the system has been so loaded, that the student accounts are on hold for the time being. I really appreciate the $5.00 annual fee, but I use the network so much, I would be willing to pay $15.00 or $25.00. However, as you suggest, I feel that amount would keep some from subscribing.
