Not sure but I think this is what another poster referred to as "Dry Pair" DSL service. It's also sometimes referred to as "naked DSL," at least it is over here in England. I understand it is available here, although I've never come across it yet out here in the sticks (although DSL has only been available at all for about 3 years).

Thanks WESTUPLACE, that’s a great idea keeping a DSL modem in the truck. I never even thought of that. Simple and inexpensive. I’ll look into buying a low-priced model so I won’t feel too bad if it gets broken from banging around on jobs.

Hi pauluk, Thanks for the reply. Hmmm, “naked DSL”, I’ve never heard that term before, although, it sounds like a lot more fun than having a dry pair!

They'll have to come up with some kind of a simple signal to avoid confusion with other cables. ISDN presents a similar problem i.e. carried on a phone line pair, but without a dial tone.
Surely some narrowband signal could be applied that would not take up too much bandwidth yet be used to ID the line.
I don't think DSL customers are going to be too happy if they have their service interrupted randomly by linesmen/women accidently disconnecting them!
