Are you going to a larger city? If you have a Wi-Fi card, you might be able to find a hotspot nearby.

Gotcha. Check out PeoplePC and see if they have a local dialup in your destination city.

A buddy of mine uses:

No monthly charge, just by-the-minute. Looks good for occasional travel use.
I'm was thinking of trying them for travel, since I ditched DSL and lost the "free" dial up that came with with it, but I finally got a bluetooth capable phone for Verizon and I'm using that for "on the road" data access from my PC or PDA.
Cheers,
Bob

I use isp.com and it is only $8.95/mo and I've never been disconnected or had busy signals. Great service...
There are some prepaid services you can get, that may end up cheaper than paying a monthly fee, if you're only going to use them once in a while. Try your local Walgreens for the kits, in the same part of the store where the prepaid phone cards are.
Juno might be your best bet. You can use it for free with their advertisement banner adds and pop-ups and some limit on use (maybe 100 hours a month or so, I don't remember the exact number). I've used this as back-up for awhile. It's nice because it's free. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
