Get a terminal server with "reverse telnet" capability, connect modems
to the serial lines, connect the modems back-to-back to the POTS lines
of the internal modem and that's it. OK, most likely you have to do some
tricks to get a ring signal when someone connects via telnet to the
terminal server. E.g. it may be enough to use DTR from the treminal
server to initiate a ring tone generator on the POTS line between the
modems. Or get a old == cheap small analog PBX...
