I use my local FreeNet as a backup system. See if
your city has one. It's a dialup based system, with
one hour sessions. Not every city has one, and
policies aren't uniform between them either. But
it's one way to get dialup if there aren't any
other good options.
Another option, is to book time at your local
library, and use a library computer to reach the
Internet. Time is booked in one hour sessions (or
perhaps an "express" machine offers 15 minute
sessions). If you had a GMail account, and used
the library computer for its browser, you could do
email that way. Not very convenient, but perhaps
a substitute if your town or city doesn't have
a FreeNet. That is also good for someone who
doesn't have a computer. Or doesn't want the
hassle of maintaining a computer in running
condition.
