http://www.debian.org/
Click "Getting Debian"
Click "mirrors" link
Click "CD images download page" link
Click "Download CD images using HTTP or FTP" link (or the http_ftp
button).
Note: you can get this far by going to google and typing
"debian cd download", chose link #2
Choose a site, for me I'd choose ftp.au.debian.org because its close to
me.
Click "3.0rev0" link
Click "i386" link
Download the ISO images.

Did you go to the site map? "getting Debian" section has a link that
says "Downloading Debian CD images via HTTP/FTP"

For a dial-up account, I'd strongly recommend you use one of the CD
vendors which are found at http://www.debian.org/CD/vendors as you'll
find it at lot easier. I just checked one vendor and they sold the
entire 7 CD set for 21.75 US dollars.
