Well, I don't know if it is trippy or not, but take it out for 
a test drive and see if it does what you need.  AFAIK, it is no 
longer supported by Cisco (watch wrap):

http://www.west-
point.org/users/usma1983/40768/chesinc/Dout354.exe

You will obviously need a properly configured access server 
with the ability to dial outbound.  My guess is you could test 
it with a 25xx router and a modem connected to the AUX port or 
one of the serial interfaces.  I would take a peek at some of 
the help screens and installation instructions.

HTH,

You'd be better off with a PRI and a channalized T1 card & digital modem
card.  You could then use a 3600.  If you go with the async ports and modems
you won't be able to get the 56K(53K) compression.  The PRI should be

that an AS5300 (or newer) will do the job well.  However, that's a fairly

Agreed that the last thing you want is a bunch of "back door" modems..
However, incoming access to them is locked down via Radius, and outgoing
access is controlled via Radius and locked down software on the desktop...

no no no, Bri - that's a GOOD thing.

1.  you can authenticate them for access to dial-out
2.  you consolidate (pool) the resource, so that fewer dedicated outbound
lines are required
3.  it's more secure (no one can set their desktop up to answer a modem call
thereby remvoing that security threat)
4.  people tend to abuse it less because they feel they're being monitored
(the centralized paranoia syndrome)
5.  easier to maintain than individual dial modems scattered all over the

It works GREAT when implemented properly.  The only support problem becomes
the absolutely clueless users, and they're always a problem anyway, so
that's a wash.  ;-)

Enterprise networking...what a concept!

Mike,

I'm sure you could use a 26xx to do what you want.  Just yesterday I put
this system into place:

Cisco 3640 (you could easily use 3620 as well)
1 - Dual-Channelized T1 with CSU module
2 - Digital Modem module with 24 modems each

We run two ISDN-PRI connections to the T1 controllers, and can handle any
combination of calls up to 46 single channel ISDN-BRI, 23 dual channel
ISDN-BRI or 46 analog modem calls.  (i.e. we have 46 lines coming in on the
two PRIs)

We also use DialOutIP software to allow people to place modem calls from
their desktop PCs over the IP LAN.  Works like a charm!

For your setup you could use either a 2 module 2600 or 3600.  Get a single
T1 controller (with built-in CSU is nice) module and get a single ISDN-PRI
line to connect to it.  As your second module, get the digital modem module,
and outfit it with 24 modems (can have from 6 to 30 in increments of 6).  At
that point you can handle up to 23 incoming/outgoing calls at once, either
analog or ISDN (for flexibility).  That coupled with DialOutIP sounds like
the perfect solution to your situation.  =)

We're running Radius for authentication, as some people call in to get
IP/IPX services and some people call in simply to redirected to a telnet
session with a specific box on the network (and we network admins dial in to
gain access to the router itself).  So don't forget you need a AAA component
as well.

Here are the parts you could use: (careful of wrap in the following URLs)

Cisco 3620 router with:

Digital Modem Module
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/pcat/dimdnep1.htm

and

Channelized T1 PRI module (NM-1CT1-CSU)
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/pcat/cht1isp1.htm

OR you could use:

Cisco 26xx router  (choose which you want) with:

Serial WAN interface WIC  (WIC-1T) with external CSU
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/pcat/sewn__y2.htm

and

Digital Modem Module
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/pcat/dimdnep1.htm

Now don't quote me on the 2600 setup, as I'm speculating this is what you
would need..  You can check out the following page for more options for
the WIC slots on the 2600:

I don't have one that I recommend.

I have found that there are a few out there that claim to do the
desktop-modem-share task though.

They are: (in no particular order)

Stomper32
www.pflug.de/stompere.html
ModemShare by Artisoft
www.hallogram.com/modemshare/index.html
DialoutServer by Tactical Software
www.cbsits.com/tactical/page2.html
SAPS by Techarts
www.techarts.com/products/spartacom/building.htm
Solidshare
www.solidshare.com/modem%20sharing.htm

These are the only ones that I have been able to find so far.  If anyone
knows of a better one please drop me a message.

Thanks

Jim

Jim,

What software do you recommend for the user to use on his desktop to access
the AS5300 for dialing out.  On our current platform we use a product called
ComIP.

thanks
Mike

Cisco AS5300 should handled your needs nicely.

To all you cisco wizards,

What Cisco product would you recommend for dial in/dial out capability on a
LAN.  We have many users who dial into our network and do work from home. 
We also have users that would like to dial out from their desktop without
using stand alone modems.  Something that would handle at least 16
simultaneous users.  We currently use a product that is slow and sometimes
it locks up.  Any advice/input would be appreciated.

2001-08-30 Thread MADMAN

a 2610 with a NM-16A would do the trick.  A cheaper alternative would
be a 2511 but you would have to connect 16 external modems to the async
ports.

I would look at VPN solutions such as the VPN3000 and skip the dial in
altogether... Let em dial to their isp and then VPN... Course if you don't
have a internet connection to the company this could be a problem...
