   a) Let the POTS user dial in to an internet gateway and he could use IP to   
   connect you.   
      
   b) Ask a node with POTS and IP to establish a direct route between those   
   people and you and use that node as a gateway.   
      
   c) Get old hardware and a real modem. Even if you need an POTS/VOIP ATA   
   converter it will be cheaper than the 100.000 for kickstarter project or your   
   100 share for the kickstarter. You will get the fun for finding the right   
   Init-AT command for free.   
      
   d) Get old hardware, a real modem and your own POTS provider. No fun because   
   Init ATZ.   
      
   e) Send encrypted mircoSD cards via snailmail.   
      
   f) Send a carrier pigeon.   
      
   Did i forget anything? Hm, yes but that's an option i don't like.   
      
   g) disconnect those people.   
      
   Because the initial question wasn't FTN related i would prefer option a.   
      
   h) establish an inmarsat link with those people.   
      
   Regards
