Can anyone recommend any good ISP/s who provide global roaming dial up access from various parts of Europe and the US?
Any input appreciated.

We use the Optus Global Roaming. It's brilliant for around Australia, but almost every time someone goes overseas I get calls saying it's not working. It all comes down to the reliability of the overseas ISP's, because every single time I get them to show me exactly what they did, and it works perfectly for the Australian ones.

Thanks for the info thingy.
I'm going to use AT&T.
Yeah we use the AT&T one where I work. I haven't used it personally, but haven't heard any complaints.
Dare I say:

The "new" GRIC. I've used it a few time but you've got to be pretty sure you're going to use it at those rates.
Best option is web access to as much of your account as possible and then er... give up.

buy prepaid wireless card for 15euro across europe, so much cheaper than at&t and theres hotspots everywhere these days. speeds also crap over dialup.

We use AT&T here... it probably costs us a bundle but it works really well. Not a single problem using it so far, in 4 countries and over a dozen cities.
Another company I worked for used the Optus equivalent, and had no end of problems when travelling overseas.
