I am looking for a Dialup-Access in some rural areas of France.
One place is in Alsace, quite very far away from any broadband
or UMTS connection.
Just to ease your search for a dial-up connection french use the terms
"RTC (Réseau Téléphonique Commuté)" or "bas débit" to translate dial-up
/ PSTN / POTS.
The only available connection at this place is an analogue
telephone line. A modem connection would be ok, just to
read mail and have a look at some systems.
I would still try to tether some 3G/EDGE connection using a smartphone
(mobile providers also sell umts plans with so called "3G keys"), 'cause
it's so darn convenient to set up when moving around (there are still
some places where it won't work though).
Which Dial-On-Demand connections are available in France ?
Any suggestions?
I would go for a free dial-up account, still having to pay as you go for
a local call (0.02 €/minutes) but that is the telephone line's owner
problem. Several services offer that, here are two of them from a quick
search (i don't endorse any of them):
