I’ve recently switched to Dreamhost, absolutely
love it, and they provide SSH/SFTP/SCP/Telnet shell access at very reasonable
prices.

I
didn't see the other messages, but I just though of an ISP with telnet.
Kwilknet.
I used to use them.

I know this doesn't answer your question, but for the future, Speakeasy
still provides shell accounts if you ask for one.
I second the "find a free shell account" elsewhere answer.
Other alternatives:
* Buy a cheap VPS (virtual private server) from a hosting company that
provides shell/root access, and use that. (There are PLUG folks who work
for such a company, but I forget the name right now.)
* Explore the HP "Test Drive"
service, though I'm not sure that'll
really work for you: http://www.testdrive.hp.com/os/ and /faq/
Other suggestions:
* Look into Portable Putty on a USB key for your portable SSH needs.
(SecureCRT, which is commercial, also provides a method to be portable,
though it's a bit clunky.) As others have mentioned Telnet is getting
rare, thankfully.
* Look into using 'screen' on the remote end, if you have flaky
connections. Once you set up it, which is pretty easy, you can
re-connect right where you let off when you get dropped due to route
flap, noisy phone line, etc.
HTH,

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the
add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
