While I don't necessarily think graduated service is evil, it's
important to keep in mind that 

  terminal:text access :: PPP:``graphic'' access.

is misleading.  For example, I get about 100 messages a day, which
would take a long time to read with 'pine'.  By reading messages
off-line, I consume only 10 - 20 min of modem time per day for email.
During this time, I'm using PPP for ``text access.''
