I didn't think leased lines were affordable to anyone outside of megacorps like IBM or top-tier research institutions. Negotiating with local service providers for cheap rates in the early 90s sounds plausible, but I can't say for sure.
I do recall something about BBSs, BITNET, Echomail being used in the Gulf War but I also have to look up that article.
