LOTW works on low speed (dial-up) circuits, and I believe it also works 
on
files exchanged by surface mail (for example, a CD or floppy). I use 
FREE
logging software called DXKeeper. It will talk to LOTW directly if 
you're ...

You can email your files to LOTW without any highspeed or BB 
connection.  And as Jim says
in his message some LOTW logging programs do a simple upload and 
download interface for you
which also doesn't require BB. You see the result on your logger 
program instead of the online
LOTW site.  If you only have dial-up Im not sure how that would work 
with the loggers but emailing
the files of course does.  Not sure if they can email you back a file 
of confirmed contacts however
but they do email back a status of that last upload you sent.
