One note on this :-)..
Some time ago,  a friend of mine worked in a carrier that had dialup modems for out-of-band access ('lights-out, end-of-world' recovery)
They kept the practice in a new NGN Class4/5 replacement..
Detail, the dial-up line went over the NGN..............

Often having something like an ADSL like connection will save trips to colo and will give you nice abilities to work on stuff when combined with serial management tools.
