I've set many people up with Highstream.net.  Its around $7-9 a month, 
depending on how much you pay for at a time.  They are a national ISP 
and I'm sure they have access numbers here.   No special software 
needed, just a regular dial up networking connection (a big plus in my 
book, I hate the Juno, Netzero, PeoplePC, etc. crappy software).  They 
do have a dialer you can download if you want, its nice for traveling 
because you can just choose the city you are in and it dials the right 
number for you.  They have decent spam blocking too but it sounds like 
you won't need that.
