Anyone still offering shell access?

As a few of you know, I'm a dinosaur still hanging onto an old netaxs.com Unix shell account. I don't think I've actually dialed into it in five years, but it's a convenient mail dump and web host that I can telnet into from just about anywhere.

Since everything's being migrated to a US LEC shell (with a few hiccups along the way), I thought I'd see if anyone else knows of other providers that still offer shell access. I don't want to give it up entirely, but I also feel strange about still paying $10/mo for the same old 10MB-quota account I've had since 1994.

I still have my Netaxs (now shell.uslec.net) account. I'm about to shut it down after I let people know I have moved :).

Why not just get your own Linux box and use that? You would even be able to use SSH.

Because then I'd have to leave it on all the time.

I may be giving these guys a call today. US LEC updated the server DNS last night, which broke every single bit of my procmail scripts, and the plain ol' "mail" command _still_ doesn't work on the new server. I have to use pine (eeegh) to read mail there.
