I don't understand the problem.  I live on rual dialup.  Sure, a full CD
takes 3 days to d/l, but just a netinst.iso doesn't take that long.  You
certainly don't need (or probably want) to try downloading a DVD over
dialup.

Just get a basic system up with the netinst.iso and install additional
packages (and updates) with the dial-up.
