>'Dial up' modems need a PSTN line to work

Cable company here (US) still sells service that has POTS over cable modem. Just plug your modem into the cable modem tele slot and you have a dialton. Now, are you getting super high speed connections, no, but that's not what you need for most hacking like this. Not that I recommend hacking from your own house.
