hmmm - interesting one. there is not really any provision for failover that I know of for T-1 size lines. Higher bandwidth lines can be procured from your telco with APS (Automatic Protection Switching) on SONET or MSP (Multiplex Switching Protoection) on SDH whereby you effectively get a backup line with literally milli-second failover in case of failure. HSRP is *not* an option as this is for Broadcast (ie LAN) network use only saying the above there may well be a product out there to do what you want, although I don't recall ever seeing anything like this hth Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Edward Gomez" To: Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2001 5:57 PM Subject: Anybody know of a failover switch for serial connections?
