I'm setting a similar thing up for fall-back remote access,
I've decided to add ex-girlfriend mode to the
dialplan, so it won't get war-dialed, meaning I can only use it from  
specific phone numbers.

I've yet to test it, but the plan was:

PRI -> * -> dialplan checks callerId -> SIP-> spa 2000 -> 1200baud  
modem -> tty socket-> unix login

Main advantage is that I have all the bits in the junk box in the  
machine room,
but it also doesn't open a generic IP tunnel (unless I run PPP at  
1200 baud).
