Hi,

My sister arrived in Japan last weekend. She has a laptop with her. She will
set up an ADSL (broadband) connection, but this will take time. In the
meantime, she wants to access the internet via the built-in analog modem in
her laptop. Providers which require that she signs up for some plan are NOT
acceptable, she is looking for a call-by-call provider. How would she set up
such a call-by-call connection, which number should the computer dial or
where could she get the appropriate software (we don't like AOL - far too
expensive, no call-by-call, and only in Japanese).

Any advice will be highly appreciated.

Dave
