Not necessarily.  There are places in the world where local phone calls are 
billable.  Karl posted from an Irish ISP, and it wouldn't surprise me if 
local calls there aren't free.  He needs to clarify how his ISP and phone 
calls are billed and then determine if he's got a specific Mailman issue (in 
which case this list might be appropriate) or a general Internet connectivity 
issue (frequency of PPP calls, etc) that might be better answered in other 
lists.
