Sure, although I am not sure how many large organizations would use an 
on-demand connection rather than dedicated.  Perhaps outside the US such 
connections are more common.  The companies I have worked with with 
on-demand connections still ran their own mail server, but had the ISP 
be a mail relay.  When the connection came up, it would initiate a queue 
run on the mail relay to get the mail delivered to their mail server.
