You could kinda cheat if you still have a Wolves Uni
account.

They allow you to dial into their servers as an ISP,
which if you live in Wolverhampton or a surrounding
local call rate area and are on BT with free evening
and weekend calls, means you get free calls as it's an
01902 number. Cut off just before the hour and dial in
again and no costs 7pm til 7am.

Instructions are for WinXP but the number is going to
be the same regardless. For Linux, the authentication
method is PAP.

Admittedly this is a kludge but there is hardly anyone
using it. I haven't used dialup for about 2 years so I
don't know these days. A proper ISP might be better.
