Netaxs (disclaimer: my former employer) sells dialup shell accounts as
well as dialup SLIP/PPP accounts. One note: assuming you do a SLIP/PPP
account, you'll want to set things up so that you use PAP/CHAP
authentication, as opposed to scripting your login. The reason is that
some of their terminal servers have one menu and other terminal servers
have another.
While they don't make guarantees that they'll be able to help you get
your dialup set up properly, I know that some of the support staff use
Linux themselves and will be able to provide tech support for Linux
dialup (assuming you need it) on a best-effort basis.
