Google is your friend.....
Why not go for a dsl modem with dial-backup? A quick search finds at
least one product that may fit your needs...granted it doesn't have a
built in modem.
I suggest going this route (pun intended) since a dialup connection is
normally much slower than a dsl and you'd only want to do dialup when
your dsl is out.

FWIW, there are probably other products equally suitable....but I think
you can use google as well as I can. :-)
