How do dialup ISPs allow multiple clients under one access number?

You can do it multiple ways:

1.  old fashioned hunt groups for multiple analog lines.
2.  getting a PRI with one outward facing number.
3.  talk to your local Bell about what would best suit your needs (digital calls?  56K?  64k?  128K?  ISDN?  Analog?  dialout capability, or just dialin? etc. etc.)

I'm interested in figuring out how dialup ISPs work and have found
plenty of info on dialin server setup but not much on how ISPs allow
multiple clients under one access number, how do they do it?
