This is scenario that affects a lot of younger users where parents have no much interest in computers, so they have dialup and have to live with.

I have used Linux with dialup and had absolutely no problem with it. I also was in a situation where my parents would not let me get online. So all I did was off-line. And you know what? I survived.
Than Internet access charged by usage time, that is probably present in many places, where you can't afford to hang online for a days.
Such is life. I was in such a situation as well and lived. Go online, look things up and go offline again.
BTW, it would be huge success for Linux to have few major providers of dialup with Linux interface ;-)
Sorry? As far as I know you can make a connection with any provider using Linux. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit. Sie ist das Kostbarste, was wir haben, denn es ist unwiederbringliche Lebenszeit. Leben ist aber mehr als Werk und Arbeit, und das Sein wichtiger als das Tun - Johannes Müller-Elmau
