Free dialups are funded by advertising.  Nobody has found a way to
force you to watch advertising on Linux, as far as I know, nor is it
very cost-effective to try to figure it out.

So there are no free dialups like NetZero that work with Linux.

Free POP accounts are all over.  You might try

and see who there does POP.
