UUCP perhaps, though it requires that the ISP have folks that remember how
to setup the beast, many, far too many ISP's only have windows
knowledgable persons on hand these days. Does windows play UUCP?
I'd do a cron setup for the dial out periodically, this then does not
require the ISP side to do more then setup the account, and let's the
admin make changes on his own without having to integrate those changes
with others. Of course the box that does the dialout/cron should not have
users able to access it, and the cron scripts, being they will have
username and password info for the ISP account, needs to have those
scripts protected from prying eyes and any users that might circumvent
system access privs.

OK, so you're a Ph.D. Just don't touch anything.
