Where does he live?  There are public access sites in Auckland,
Palmerston North, Wanganui, Wellington and Christchurch.

The best site is Wellington City Council's CityNet which offers free
access to ftp/telnet/irc/mail/news etc.  They have lots of lines in
Wellington and one line in Auckland and Christchurch.

The application form below is from a file "citynet.zip" which details
the service.  Citynet.zip is available via ftp from ftphost.vuw.ac.nz
(not sure where - telnet archie.nz and do a search for it).
