YEp, with xlaxnode you defined costs per minute in the
nodelist compiler's configuration xlaxnode.ctl to be exact.
tHen you used the l parameter in binkley.evt to help bt only dial when calls 
were cheaper.  THat, and I used to hide mail from ld links until certain times 
using the leave command in squish during some periods, such as my morning 
deliver mail
to downlinks locally.

Yep, have a look at the definitions of the l flag in the
section of bt-ref.txt dealing with the event file.
