That price precedent is really too bad.

Getting off the dialup phone line would be nice, but I wasn't so sure I
was even going to be comfortable at $40/month a couple of years ago when
the UI, itself, was thinking about offering IDSN to the homes of faculty
and staff members. And $40 isn't much compared to $175. Where do plain
ol' folks get this kind of money?
