I'm trying to do this with the minimum hardware and hassle as possible.
Its currently using a MAX 200+ but it appears to be defective as it keeps
resetting. . I have a Computone terminal server but like I said I looking at
doing this with the minimum hardware. I do not want another Windows
based computer to have to keep up with all the critical updates. We used
to put one application per server but with 20 servers we are constantly
doing patched and updates. I have started a consolidation of servers to
reduce that required time. We are down to 10 and still consolidating.
Thanks,
Larry
Hi Larry,
You should be able to do this with any Win 2K server quickly and easily. You simply need to install the Routing and Remote Access Service and install any compatible Analog modem. You should be aware that any such modem would run at a maximum rate of 33.6Kbps as it would not be using a digital interface. The Routing and Remote Access Service allows the user to dial-in and connect to your service, whats good is that it can also authenticate via RADIUS allowing you to use your current billing system.

Howdy...
Does anyone have a hardware suggestion for the following ?
I need to let a user dial into us on an analog POTS line and give him access to the Internet
over our LAN/backbone connection. An Ascend MAX would be over kill. This is more towards
the days of a Computone terminal server and modems but again we are looking for a single
dialup line.
It appears very few companies manufacture an analog modem any longer. The ones that do
seem to have them for out bound dialing and not the other direction. If this was an ISDN line
I would stick an Ascend pipeline 50 on it and be done. I just can't seem to find an analog solution.
Any ideas ?
Larry
