I'm also having a hell of a time trying to find an
ISP which can provide a
dial-up shell account (with POP3 email) which doesn't require PPP or SSH.
I could code PPP drivers for a vintage micro (although it would suck up a
lot of time), but I doubt that I could get both PPP and TCP/IP running on a
system with 64 KB RAM or less.
Anyone know where to find an ISP which provides plain old dial-up access
from a micro running a terminal program?
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.
Go to www.speakeasy.net for info.
