Dialup Account Needed (East Cost)

I need a dialup account with access numbers in Boston and Martha's Vineyard for about one week in August. After that I won't use it again. Anybody got one they can share?

anytime i go on vacation i get those free people pc cd, aol, earthlink, or whatever and then just set it up in the hotel room. All of those should have local dial numbers in boston...then just remember to cancel at the end of your vacation.
peace

Thanks I hadn't thought of that, looks like you can get a trial PeoplePC account pretty quickly.

and if you wanted to get reallllly fancy, you could buy a broadband card for your laptop, which from verizon or cingular has a 15 day return period where you can try it out, and say you dont like it. You still have to pay for usage though.

Yeah that's what I'm hoping for but I need a contingency plan. Seems like most wifi is encrypted these days, and even though WEP is easily cracked I feel bad breaking into someone's network if they tried to secure it.

yeah, cracking someone's wep isnt so cool. but if boston's anything like chicago (or any big city), there will be plenty of open networks available. as for plan b, yeah, just use one of those free aol cds or whatever.

You would think most people would be smart enought to encrypt, but at 3 friends houses, there are open accounts all over the place.

Yeah seriously... there are 3 open access points I can reach from my apartment, LUVLAN has some whack porn hehe. I thought about performing a public service and MAC filtering everything but my computer and theirs, but I didn't want to fuck things up for them in the future.
