I haven't used their service for a couple of years, but when I was
traveling more frequently, I had very good experiences with BamNet:
http://www.bamnet.com

You prepay for a certain number of minutes (rates range between 4.5 and
6.5 cents depending upon the quantity of minutes you buy), and you use
their toll free numbers for accessing the Internet.  If you are outside
the continental USA, access is still available, but you lose 4 minutes
of time for every minute you use. The minutes never expire, and there's
no monthly fee.  The service works with any device that has a modem and
can understand PPP, so Windows, Mac, Linux, and PDA systems are all fair
game.

I have no affiliation with the company, and like I said, I haven't even
used the service for a couple of years.  But I was a very satisfied
customer back then, and if I had the same needs now, I would sign up
with them again.  I hope I can help out a fellow iBook list member!
