What you want is a 'shell account'
Peruse web pages of potential ISPs looking for that phrase.

I see http://www.eskimo.com which offers $9 per month, I think... The
page is a little confusing.  This isn't a mainstream product tht you're
after.

You want an access dialup number near you, but it doesn't matter much
where the ISP is actually located.  Eskimo is located on the Puget sound,
but does offer a Maryland Access number.

If you have access for web surfing already, then you can use that
connection, and Kermit-95 to reach a 'telnet' shell account, which
could be located anywhere in the world.  I might personally suggest
http://www.rahul.net/guest (my provider) on that basis.  Rahul also
offers nationwide access, but it's $5 on top of the rate for San Jose
access.
