Well if you have access to the net in gneral then you could try SDF (URL
in my sig). They provide free shell accounts. They chareg a menial $1
activation fee. Most of what you'd want to do through the shell may not be
available. Also, SDF has dial-up accounts (don't know cost or locations
off-hand). I'd reccommend looking into them.
