Basically it'd require someone who uses ADSL via a dumb ADSL modem
plugged directly into their system via USB (*not* via an ADSL router
that their system is connected to via ethernet; in that configuration,
the router does this work).

Either that, or someone still using an actual dial-up modem.

If either of those cases works, I think, it means PPP works.

Or a wwan modem such as 3g/4g/LTE, a bunch of different vpns also use ppp as tunneling method (in some cases over HTTPS)... I could go on (don't even get me started on the places you still find the AT command set)
