It's possible to set up a PC with a phone line modem as a PPP dial-up server that connects you to the local network you're Zoneminder box is on.

You can do a search on dial-up ppp server how to's.

The slow speed of dial-up is going to be a big obstical to using Zoneminder. You'll need to set the image scale and frame rates really low.

If you do this you would need to change the default port (80). Most carriers block port 80.

Also remember data usage plans...MJPEG eats alot of bandwidth
