Yeah, you need a terminal server for providing for either 56K, ISDN, or
analog 33.6 modem connections, as well as a channelized T1 and/or PRI to
the telco with dialtone on a number of channels.  You can get a Terminal
server with a serial port in which you can plug in an external CSU to
interface with a T1 line to your upstream provider.

What services are you planning on offering?  You will have to price out
the T1 to run the IP over, and you will have to price out the T1 for
dialup.  That will average you (if you are in a small town) about
$4000/mo, plus the installation charge.  The terminal server will cost
around 4-12K$.

FreeBSD would do radius authentication...  If you want REALLY small ISP
with as many modems as you have PCI slots and some analog phone lines,
then that a different issue alltogether.
