A phone line could be provided, but there is a cost involved. How many people are likely to need a phone line for testing their modem ?
We could take along a machine with a modem in it set to answer. This means we can set it up to test the actual modem is working. The only thing to be careful of is the phone number/user name/password which are all very easy to show users how to change on the day if necessary and the phone number in particular is easy to check on the ISP's website. We may need a PABX or something to deal with getting two modems plugged "back to back".
