What’s a good cheap laptop alternative?

I’m looking for a good cheap alternative to a laptop for my mom – she would only use it for web surfing/email and her provider is Juno dialup (yeah, I know…) Seems ridiculous to pay $500 for the low-end dell when even that has way more power than she needs. Such a device must have a large (>12″) screen and must have dialup capability. Would prefer not to buy anything used.

What company has reliable 56k dialup service?

I know dialup sucks but my Mom is in one of those few areas that still doesn't have DSL. She currently has ATT Dialup but can only connect at 28.8 bps. and ATT claims there is nothing faster than that for dialup. Nothing like being lied to….LOL

Anyways, I was looking at some ISPs and was wondering if US Netizen is good or if anyone has any other suggestions.

Thanks in advance and have a great day!!
It's a 56K modem.
