  For low budget sites, uunet can be reached by PC Pursuit and Dial
America service. This keeps the cost way down. If you need to send stuff
during the day, of course, you will still be faced with a stiff bill. If
you are looking for a local feed, rather than the gateway features uunet
provides, you should be able to find one almost anywhere. I think portal
will feed anyone on the west coast for a price, but I have no idea what
that price is.
