I agree 100% with what Michael said. I know I can terminate the T1 line on a cisco access server. But I am assuming that I want to use the Windows NT RAS service. So the quesion again is what hardware is required to enable a window nt server to accept 24 simultaneous calls? Assume that you do not want to use a Cisco Access server.
