Although I haven't activated it and played with it yet... shell access
comes with my SpeakEasy DSL account. (I get 30 hours of dialup time a
month with my account). I don't know what exactly they define as shell
access, but they do seem "alternate OS" friendly, so it might be a real
honest shell dialup.

I think they recently started offering national dialup only service, so
you might want to check them out to see what their shell service entails.
