My advice would be to forget the dialups and look for free wireless 
access.
Even cheap hotels offer it now. I live in an "out of the way" area, and 
found
two open points in the retail district -- one at a Super8 motel, the 
other near
a Sonic where my son works. I assume opening the access points was a
deliberate act; the one by the Sonic is named "CIVIL."  Hotels probably 
leave
their hubs open because it's just less hassle for the front desk.

Earlier iBook listers have suggested these sites as a place to start 
hunting
for access:

Good luck!
