Yes, (and pardon my snootiness) a real ISP is the only way to go. AOL & Co. are "content providers", and access to the Internet is almost like an afterthought.
I don't know the Prodigy deal, but I use Earthlink, and I get unlimited Internet dial-up for $19.95 per month. They also have about 3,000 local dial-up numbers nationwide, and I have yet to visit a town where I couldn't find a local number to use. No pesky 800-number charges here. This is the account that I use for my desktop, so when I got my Thinmodem+, I didn't have to pay anything extra to get connected. No, I can't be online with my desktop and my Visor at the same time, but how often would I need to do that anyway?
