Dial-up ISP Connection using Calling Card for long distance call

Shortly I'll be traveling to Canada and will want to dial up to my ISP in
the U.S.
Unfortunately, since in Canada there are no local access numbers and
I'm forced to make a long distance call. To keep the costs low, I'd like
to use my calling card to do so and I'm not sure how to do this
logistically, since I can't simply just change the phone number in the dial
up network connection. I have to dial a 800 number then specify my calling
card number then finally specify the phone number for the ISP.

I was hoping that I could use the telephone to make the connection then put
the phone line into the back of the computer, but I can't seem to get this
to work. Any ideas???
