I was in a similar situation in the mid 90's when I was 13 and wanted to get online but wasn't allowed to. I ended up finding a loophole in where if I launch the Prodigy installer from the CD, it would dial up to the Internet to get a local list of servers. I found that I could minimize the full screen installer and could use Internet for about 10 minutes before it kicked me off. I could only do this when my parents were not around and I had to constantly run a long telephone cable to their room and unplug their phone as that was the nearest jack. That worked for good while. :)
