But I would still need somewhere to dial up to, to get an internet
connection, to telnet from. :)
So it won't save me any money. And I can't say that I have missed out
on much by not having a shell account. I already have 3 ISPs and 3 email
addresses, and my website stretches from Oz to California to Germany,
and will overflow into a third Oz server within a few more months.

Yes, no argument - that IS a big volume of email.

Can't argue with that. :)
Fortunately, I don't have that much traffic, I wouldn't have the
time to deal with it anyway, and my equipment is not too slow
(AMD K6, 400 MHz, 64 MB RAM running DOS), - Arachne flies :)
