Is it still possible to dialup over ntl phoneline if I'm a broadband customer?

Long time ago, used to be able to, using all same settings. Now I can't find any dialup numbers on the ntlworld site other than some **1263**08005190100 which is interesting to say the least as DUN doesn't want to accept the first **'s??!

I'm not bothered if I have to pay 1p a minute (free would be nice but doubtful).... I just want a flipping dialup number so that an old computer I use can connect to t'internet and windows update.

Comp is windows98se... and when i try an connect on the above number (missing out the **1263**) I get a password error as soon as it connects. Presumably username & pass are same as email settings?

Quick help appreciated
