If you're parents/family is pisssed about their loss of Internet
access, why not bug them for a portion of your cost and get fast
Internet access. You'll all be happier for it. ;-)
IOW, Media One Roadrunner, USWest ADSL, Covad DSL (Onvoy),
etc.
Or, as you Tom suggested Visi.net. Perhaps Internet Exposure, Sihope,
or even mninter.net (who seem to be pretty freaky-paranoid when it
comes to security -- they only allow shell access from your dialup
account unless you're using ssh).
Pick up a copy of Computer User at a local bookstore or music shop and
start calling around.
