I'll second (or third I think) www.mv.com

If you are looking for a real dialup ISP (v.s. something to use every 
once in a while when away from your broadband) mv is a good choice. I 
used them for many years in the pre ADSL, Cable modem days.

They support Data over voice ISDN Channel bonding as well (or they did 
in the past) so if you are sticking with dialup because nothing else is 
available and (if you have the cash) you could get an ISDN line and at 
least get real 112 kbps (v.s fake 56kbps)

One other thought (again assuming the it is carrier issues and not cash) 
would to be to get either tmoble, verizon wireless or ATT/Cingular "cell 
phone" based internet access. It is (at times) faster than dialup and 
available everywhere. I use Verizon Wireless  as an add on to my Palm 
Treo. I don't rely on it as my primary internet approach (Yipes how can 
you live without 4Mbps ;) but it certainly works for quick googles, 
emails and downloads on the road.
