I am looking into setting up a dial up for my wife's Buddhist temple.  One 
of the programs that you could use PPP and it is either already installed 
or just an apt-get away.  They are dragging their feet so the only other 
thing I have for you is that Comcast's customer service does indeed have 
room for improvement and you might want to look into 'Basic ISP'.  They 
provide the same services for less in the long run.  They do not 
officially support Linux and I do not know how their customer service is 
but it looks promising.  All the parameters I talked to them about are in 
PPP.  Here is a how-to http://tldp.org/HOWTO/PPP-HOWTO/   There was some 
work done on actual modems here 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Outofthebox/Modem/Softmodem  There are a lot links 
on that page that may help you too.
Good Luck :-)
