Can I use my DSL somewhere else like i could my dialup?

in other words i travel out of state and my relatives do not have internet so i hook up my computer and change the phone numbers so they are local and were good to go but can i do the same with DSL or Broadband. There are no numbers to change so how do i know if its local so as to be sure no long distance will be charged with DSL, and is it possible to hook up my DSL modem and such on another number when DSL seems to be based on my home phone..

Can I use a webcam with accelerated dialup?

DSL service is not available in my area, but I would like to use a webcam to communicate with relatives that live far away. I know it would probably be crawling along with regular dial-up Internet, but how would it perform with accelerated dialup? Or should I not bother and wait until DSL is available (whenever that is!)?
