The one static IP is plenty for me. I have a box set up for
firewalling/gateway/nat and just share the line on my internal network
that way.

Yeah, the dial up is nice to have, but not all that important. I only
really need it when I am on vacation and want to check my email, but

live without it (or get some cheap ISP for the week(s) I need it).
