I no longer have access to a dial up account.  I stopped using a modem 
when I replaced the 802.11b WiFi NIC in my ThinkPad with one that could 
do 802.11g.  The modem was on the old NIC.  These days, if I'm somewhere 
where there's no open WiFi I can use, I can just tether to my Nexus One 
phone and get an internet connection that way.
