I, unfortunately, am tied to dial-up service because of my location and the fact that I don't use my home PC frequently steers me away from the more costly options. With that said, I am looking for an ISP that can support VPN. I'm currently with AOL and, surprisingly, they do not support VPN. Any suggestions?
