Default Dial Up ISP

My mom called me from her work asking if I can find a number to sign up for AOL. My answer was "no".

Does anyone know of a good cheap dial up ISP?

I was thinking Netzero or Juno(still exist?)

But i have no experience with dial up within the last... forever it seems.

It's for a lady at the townhouse complex that knows nothing of computers.

She wanted it, and i quote "slow and cheap".

I gave her the number for Juno. $7 a month or so... They have DSL for $12 i think.

Some people like the nostalgia of hearing "Welcome....... You've got mail!"

I think I may have one of those 5000 FREE HOURS cds lying around that I used to use as coasters. Maybe I can send her one of those.
