Hi,
I'm wondering how to built my own dialup service. What equipments and technical skills do I need to make it work.

First, you would need all the infrastructure necessary to support clients.
Then, you would need staff to support those services to clients.
Then you would need some clients.
Lots of articles and advice here:

If you have a couple of hundred million just lying around in the banks that you plan to invest in this ISP, I'd offer some advice. Buy Blue Chip Stocks as your rate of return is going to be a lot higher than the profit from an ISP.

BFilmFan,
Thanks for the advise. Well, I not that rich... I just want to know the technology needed. There is some progress going on with my own research. Still, I'm wondering how is it possible to have only one single phoneline dialed by a number of subscribers. Thanks again anyway.

A single phone number can be the 'primary' of a multi-line 'hunt line' system (what we used to call a rotary).
For a dialup ISP, you would need modem banks, each modem 'device' would need it's own phone line.
You could have 100 phone lines where the telephone company would put them into a 'hunt group', so that everyone dials a single primary telephone number, then the phone company equipment searches your numbers sequentially until it find one which is not busy, then puts that call to the available line, which then would ring onto the modem attached to that line.
