Yes there is a way to connect to xbox live with dial up. I was recently looking for how to do that for a friend of mine and I stumbled across this tutorial.
With a little creative thinking, you can get online, even with dial up, as long as you have a PC. The first thing you have to do is LAN your 360 and your PC together. The easiest way is to hook your 360 to your Ethernet port on your PC. Next, fire up that dial up connection of yours. Then setup a home network using the wizard in the Network Connections screen, choosing your dialup connection as the internet connection and the Ethernet port as how you connect to other connections. This will make the dialup connection shared. The 360 will think it has a broadband connection to the 'net, when in fact it just has a broadband connection to your PC.
Now, you're not going to be able to play most games online, as the lag would be so monstrous that you wouldn't be able to do anything, but this works for downloading content from the Marketplace, getting patches, and buying Live Arcade games. Since the Silver membership to Live is free with the purchase of the 360, you've really got nothing to lose.
You can play Gears of War, Halo 3, NFL, NBA ,FIFA, and Call of Duty

Will xbox live work with dial-up?
I joined here just so I could edit this. The last guy who answered obviously had no idea what he was talking about. Xbox Live is possible over dialup. Of course dialup is far from the best internet connection for gaming, but it works. All you need is a PC with both a dialup connection and a high speed network card, and a network cable. Run the network cable from your 360 to your pc, connect to the net via dialup, right click on the dialup connection icon on the bottom right corner of your screen, click "Properties", click "Advanced', and then click "Allow other network users to connect through this computers internet connection.", select the appropriate connection, and click OK. Of course, it's dialup. ANd while Xbox Live gameplay is possible, it's very unstable and laggy. But it is possible
