The low-budget($) way to go is to dredge up a surplus 386 or better pc, pick
up a Linux distribution CD, and set it up as a PPP server. Hook up whatever
modems you have to the serial ports, a lan card in the PC, and you can dial
into the network via the PC and get to the 3000 or anything else you want
to allow it to get to.

Big caveat --> Low budget ($$) <> Low budget (time)...  if you're not
familiar with Unix, you will likely have difficulty. It does work though
and it can be put together easily with (basically) surplus equipment.
