>I'm sure you could set up a dial up ISP in 2025 with just 1 guy who understands telephony and software modems.
Pretty much. But you might find reliably hardware hard to come by. It would be an ebay operation for sure, sort of like running an internet history museum.
software modems have been a thing for ages. No physical wires - it'll be voip direct to soft modems on a couple of big linux servers.
You can probably do it all on AWS with no physical infra.
