Yeah, I did not mean it cannot be done.  As you say, a combination of 
determination, luck, and lots of time will do it.  Once you have WAN 
access, you wonder how you ever got along with 56 KBS, though.  :-)  
Although I can remember using an old surplus TTY and accessing the 
university computer at 110 baud, and it seemed neat as a tick after 
having to submit jobs in batch mode.  So it all depends on what you are 
used to I suppose.
