Rather than the half-assed answer someone else gave :-) , I will give
you something to think about. Dust off the old BBS and add a twist to
it.

I'd probably just set up dial-in PPP and a web server.

This is already available via Windows XP. dial-up server.

I wouldn't recommend Windows for any sort of high-availability
server, but you could probably make it work.

The fact that some clients are beginning to ask for localised wide area
networking shows that this is beginning to be an important aspect of
future data communication.

There's nothing new about this sort of thing. People have been
asking for it (and doing it) for decades (long before the
Internet existed).
