Alternatively, If you have a mobile phone that supports bluetooth
and gprs and bluetooth support on your computer (or instead of
bluetooth a cable with which you can access your phone's AT
command interface), you do not need a modem card.
I generally use the above method with a pre-paid Turkcell
subscription while I'm in Turkey. The rates are not the best,
however, I find it affordable if you are using it to check your
e-mail now and then. And except the special offer of first 5MB
free, you get the same rates anyway.

Note that this price is for regular subscriptions. If you are
planning to use a a pre-paid card, it is more expensive. 1 unit
per 60k (the tokens for pre-paid cards are sold in 100/250/500
units, and last time I bought it was around 0.1YTL per unit).

You are right about YTL. DK is probably an abbreviation for
dakika (minute).
Hope this helps,
