We can also provide this sort of thing for you, but it won't be anywhere
near as cheap as the single ISP account you're using. We have to allow
enough lines for simultaneous connections. The good news is that it is
overnight, and you are correctly staggering the connections, then it might
not be a problem, but if we have to purchase an additional PRI line to
handle the need, then that cost would be passed along.

Hi all -
Our company has a product such that a small server is installed at
each customer site. This server dials up to the Internet every night and
exchanges some content with a central server in our data center. Total
transaction takes about 5 minutes.
Customers can have multiple sites. Our largets to date has three, but
some potentials have several hundred.
In the cases where the site does not have an existing Internet connection
we currently use dialup via a major ISP.
This works for now, but won't for the long haul for a couple of reasons:
- they all are all sharing the same username and password (yes yes, I
know...)
- we're moving into canada and this ISP doesn't have many local numbers up
there.
- Dealing with local numbers and their somewhat frequent changing is a
real headache.
What I want is a modem pool with one local number (tied into an 800
number) where I can create as many username/password pairs as needed. I
want that local number to never change :-)
Now... to make it fun...
- No, I can't install a dialup server in our corporate datacenter.
- No, I can't setup a freebsd server in satellite office.
That leaves me with an outsourced solution that needs to work with
FreeBSD's PPP.
Anyone know of anyone that does this sort of thing? Or an ISP that has a
service geared towards this (our current one does not).
Thanks!

You may not like the price but the local phone company likely provides this
service.
