I've always been partial to the Lucent/Livingston Portmaster line for
a small NAS setup. It is now discontinued by Lucent, but it is/was
a solid product, IMHO.
The PM2/PM25 takes external modems ( IE, it has no internal modems ).
The PM3 has internal modems ( V.90 ) and terminates 2 T1/E1 PRI/CT1's.
You can find these used for very cheap on various ISP Equipment lists.
