We broke down and bought a new new computer and it does not like our pokey dialup (about 2KBps on the PC running an old modem and generic driver, ~3KBps on a G4). The new USB modem only runs about .3KBps, i.e. very slowly.
Talking to the Apple and our ISP tech support, it does not seem like there is anything we can do but go to broadband. At our end of this dirt road, DSL is out of the question, cable isn't ever coming this way either, so it looks like wireless or satellite are our choices.

Online reviews are better than satellite, but still not 100% positive.
