You could use ISDN, for example.

I do not know much about it, but X.32 is a protocol for use over phone lines. 
My understanding is that it offers similar services to X.25 and so is
effectively a "dial-up X.25", and some telecommunications service providers
offer a service whereby you can access their X.25 network via X.32.
