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.
