Download mySQL database via shell and dialup?

This based on the Invision board but I guess it can apply to all forum mySQL databases? What is the best way to download my mysql database?
Before you answer please consider the following that
happened to me and /or my limitations:

1. I am on slow dial-up

2. I used the ACP download but there was two problems
with that; (a) When downloading the browser will not
show how much is left (on dialup that is a problem,
especially if you get disconnected) and (cool.gif once I
downloaded the .gz it said the file was corrupted. I
am not sure if there was a special program other than
Iceows to open it.

3. I am mostly interested in downloading the posts,
settings, etc, not all the images each time.

4. I do have jailed shell access and cpanel. I have
heard that you can do something via shell, but not
sure if it can be done via jailed shell.

Any help much appreciated.
