I suppose that MNP 6 is at least one of the most common schemes for this.
One of the larger network providers in the U.S. (Telenet/Sprintnet) has
been offering MNP 6 modems connections for a few years.

There are a couple of modems that implement it: the Microcom AX/9624c
and a modem from MultiTech (I can't remember the model number). 

I would not call it a "standard", but it is used.
