If you have the money, anything is possible.

Sure it is possible. You will need to buy a T1 or larger line, a bunch of phone lines, and a bunch of modems for dial-up. Then the servers and other hardware to make it all work. It is certainly possible.

The local ISP I had up till a couple years ago was all contained in the owner's basement. He had 9 T1's going out to MCI and a bunch of phone lines coming in from Ameritech. He had about 20 servers and a modem rack down there. He was losing money near the end and did very well selling out to a regional ISP, who turned around 6 months later and sold out to a national. The days of small independent ISP's are very numbered.
