That's a nice feature for when your adsl goes down -- you can dial-up, and still connect to any remote machines that have ip-specific access control.
Having connected via dial-up is there any way I can connect to my home machine as both machines then have the same IP address?
But two machines with the same ip address won't work. Perhaps your isp can give you a separate dial-up account that uses a different ip address.
Or you can find another dial-up provider. That's not a bad thing anyway, in case your normal isp is having routing problems. I use an 0845 service for that purpose, so I don't have to pay any standing charges for a service that I only use infrequently.

Thanks Martijn for confirming what I already suspected.
