There are pay phones at the mall with phone jacks on them you can use
for dialup.  There do not seem to be power outlets near by.  You pay a
quarter for the call, the mall does not seem to sell power.

Power is a potential problem.  One a laptop user shouldn't have to worry
about until the battery runs low.
