Which I can connect to via an inexpensive analogue modem from thousands of

DSL was looking like it might be the solution to this sort of OOB problem,
but it's still more expensive than a POTS line, and increasingly
dirt-cheap providers are stopping you from making inbound connections,
meaning you have to pay premium for 'business' DSL.
