I've been using CSD for 10 years. It is the dog-goned'est slowest connection you've ever seen, but if you have unused minutes (I do my surfing mainly at night when I have 3000 minutes per month), then it makes good sense.

"Data Access CSD" is the service category that shows up on the bill, for $3.99 monthly. I think that it is a 'grand-fathered' service however; I don't think new customers can get it.

In my setup (Prefs / Network) screen, I created a new network connection that I have named "mywireless". It has all the entries shown in TheSpy's post, but my dial-in number is different. I have 847-254-9270.
