I had a an account with the Edmonton (Canada) Freenet up until it folded
last year... quite annoying since I'd just paid for a two year
membership when they pulled the plug.

Since I have a $20/mo unlimited long-distance plan I suppose it would be
worth getting an account with one of the remaining services (at least
until such time as I can afford broadband _and_ a A2 ethernet card).
