1. Use cron to connect a certain intervals, you could then access
your server during these specific times.
2. Use mgetty to dial into your server direct and command it to go online.
3. Write/Adapt a script to watch for RING from the modem.
I use #1 & #2 while not exactly what you asked for, it works for me.
