You could, that's the way it was done in the early days.  You would need
a bunch of analog modems and phone lines.  Not very scalable and without
ISDN or T-1 you won't get above 28.8kbps.

It seems like just yesterday I was trying to work out how to keep stacks
of Practical Peripherals modems cool and deal with dozens of "wall bug"
power transformers.  My how time flies when you're having fun.
