That is way too expensive. I can accomplish the same thing in half the price using CompuServe. Is there a way to instruct BITFTP such that when it sends its replies they would not go through UUNET? By that I mean asking BITFTP to reach me via the old UUCP mechanism.

If you don't buy one at least that fast, if you do step up to 19.2 (anything faster is too much money for me to justify, but mabie you have deeper pockets for long range expences then I do...).
