Broadband provider that also provides dialup

I am looking for a broadband provider that as part of the package, also
provides a dial up connection for when I need to connect when I am not at
home, or as a backup connection. So far I am looking at Actrix 2MB/1GB per
day plan, and orcons 2MB plan(but not sure how good they are now). However
neither of their websites say that it would be possible to connect via
dialup, without having a totally seperate dialup account. I do remember
hearing about a company was offering a dialup connection with a broadband
connection, but I can't remember the company. Anyone know of a broadband
provider who also provides a dialup connection as part of the package?.

I think you'll find most ISPs will if you ask them. Probably cost a few
dollars more.

I'm on Xtra broadband, and my dialup is still active with same login details
as my broadband. It's on an hourly rate, so I only get charged if I actually
use it.

Xtra
Dial up $2.50 per hour, no minimum.

Had a client that just about bined a BB account because they wanted $30/mo
extra for 'dial up'
She ended up keeping the BB and paid the minimum to their previous ISP to
maintain the old dial up ac but was not best pleased.
It was very 'Clear' what ISP she shouldn't have gone with for BBand.

Paul.

And it's very useful when you're out of town for any reason.
