Though this might not help you directly, my system, running under
OS/2 has been using a version of VModem to handle the few dial-up calls
that come in. There are equals for this in several operating systems
including Windows

Binkd is generally the answer. There is a version for Windows as
well as for several other operating systems including linux as well as
of OS/2 like I use. Internet Rex`s BinkP is problematic and there is
no update for it.

I`ve been doing this for almost 30 years now, starting off with a
DOS system with NO internet. Had to use dial-up for everything, but
back then, the telco lines were copper pairs, and with good luck you
could achieve relatively high modem speed connections; a snail`s pace
compared to now-a-days, but it was okay back then - it worked.
