We moved to digital lines(that means PRI lines not POTS lines) with a Cisco Remote Access Server. Sorry I don't have more details, but someone else handles all of that for me. I remember him spending a period of several weeks attempting to get the 56k stuff working.
We use more ISDN for higher speed direct access. -----Original Message----- From: Warren Cundy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2002 1:28 PM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: 56k Modem Question Lets assume that management enjoys sending me on exercises in futility, what kind of modem would I need to allow dialin users to connect at 56k? Is there a particular standard I'm looking for? I know phone lines aren't great, but if I can make a 48800 connection or so to my ISP, I should be able to make the same connection to the office, providing we have the right modems installed.
