Hi all,
Are there any sites that provide free UNIX shell access for users
to practice the shell commands through telnet or SSH.I am in desperate
need of these.

suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance.

You might find what you need from a Solaris-based live CD distribution
such as Schillix. This can be booted and run from CD and when you're
done reboot back from your hard disk. Your normal system remains
untouched.

http://schillix.berlios.de/

Alternatively you can download VMware Server for free from the link
below, and then download the Solaris 10 CDs and install them into a
virtual machine.

http://www.vmware.com/products/server/

Either of these methods will get you a shell and full environment in
which to practice commands, without compromising your normal system.

Or, if you are ok with HP-UX / Tru64, you can try HP's test drive
program.
