I would suggest getting/supporting a local provider if at all possible. There should be listings in your yellow pages. Or ask friends who might have something other than AOL.
Failing that, search google for "ISP YourStateOrPrivince Area Code Prefix".
Failing that try this:

Once you find one, verify that they use standard PPP connections and do not require a software client, which should allow Linux to connect just like a standard install of Windows without requiring any other software to connect.

k. whats average price?? i dun want to over pay!!! :cool:

All ISPs support Linux and Windows, except MSN (actually, in does, if you call them, but you shouldn't do it) and AOL (this includes Prodigy).
The average price is below AOL's (usually about $10-$15).

Depends on how good the service is. I pay $54 USD for 3 months of service which figures out to $18 a month for a dialup connection. I get unlimited time online, very few disconnects, free web space, full support and it supports internet sharing all for the single price. That is very good for a dialup service. On top of everything else they run standard ppp connections so I can connect easily from linux or windows.
Find a service local to you that offers a simular package at a simular price to what my ISP does and you will have a very good deal.
Another benefits which helps my wife alot is they scan all email for virus's. It does not matter to me but it is important to her, she likes windows.
Also I get like 3-4 pop3 accounts with that service.
