I'm going to go with Justin's suggestion and go with a wholesale
provider such as DialupUSA.  It's not worth paying for the lines and
keeping a T1 or better for just a few users.  DialupUSA use to charge
around $5/user.  They also had hourly and per port options. Looks like
you can port existing numbers to them now.  I used them 9-10 years ago
and they were great to work with!  IKANO bought them out since then, but
they still operate under DialupUSA.net.  They have DSL and T1 options too.

The ISP I consult to uses an outsource dial service (don't remember which one). They require us to maintain a RADIUS server accessible from the public internet, to validate callers and handle options and restrictions. You probably have a RADIUS server already, but you may need to make minor (but tedious) modifications.

Factor that into your planning.
