PM3 and Ascend Max have internal digital modems. Both can do authentication against an internal database, but are usually configured to query a networked RADIUS server. So you'll need a box, or you can run RADIUS on an existing box. If you want to run an ISP, you'll need DNS, web, ftp srvers, etc. Lots of possibilities depending on what you're after. I really like the O'Reilly book "Getting Connected to the Internet at 56K and Up". It covers lots of topics for the budding ISP.
