I use G3 Telecom.  I have the $4.95/15 hour plan, for when I want to use
dial up, to connect my notebook to my home network.  Prior to this, I
had my own PPP dial up connection, on my home computer.

Incidentally, during that big power failure a couple of years back, I
really had to rough it, relying on that connection for all my internet
access, at least until the notebook battery died.
