OK, here we go... [7:34894]

2002-02-08 Thread Chris Charlebois

First, you didn't mention what kind of DSL router it is.  (BTW, most DSL
routers comercially marketed are actually ethernet-to-ethernet routers. 
Calling them DSL routers is a misnomer.)  Every NAT implementation I've
worked with requires explicit ranges set up for NAT.  There's a good chance
that your NAT router is configured to only NAT addresses in the 192.168.0.X
range.

If you'd like a more in depth discussion of what NAT is and how it works,
I'd be happy to write a quick one up.

Second, your Windows box is using it's loopback address for DNS.  This is
only a correct configuration if your Windows box is a DNS server and is
receiving zone transfers from external DNS servers.  I doubt that this is
the case, so I would assume that DNS queries are failing.  Wait... I suppose
if you're running DNS on that box and have a secondary lookup to a public
DNS, it should work.  Better solution is to use the DNS server your ISP
provides.

Thirdly, while your Windows box knows how to get to the 10.0.0.0 network,
due to your "route add" commands (BTW, that is not a reliable solution. 
Don't ask hosts (like a server) to make routing decisions), your NAT router
does not know how to get there, or even that it exists.  So even if the NAT
router would translate 10.0.0.0 into public addresses, the router would not
be able to send any packets back.  For this you need a static route in the
NAT router for the 10.0.0.0 network.  This solution also removes the need
for the "route add" commands.

No can do [7:34864]

2002-02-08 Thread Chris Charlebois

You cannot simulate frame-relay with 2 routers.  A minimuim of three are
required.  One router must serve as the frame-relay switch.  This router
needs to be connected to both other routers via back-to-back serial
connections.

In many ways, frame-relay is analogous to IP.  It's just one more set
removed.  In frame-relay, a router will segment data into frame-relay
packets and address them using the DLCI.  These packets are sent to the
frame-relay provider.  The frame-relay provider's equipment (referred to as
a switch) passes the packet to another switch based on the DLCI.  I don't
really know how many switches a common frame-relay packet goes through, but
it doesn't really matter, because it will come out in the right place on the
other router.  The other router accepts the data, reassembles it into the
original form and routes it accordingly.

The trick is, frame-relay was never meant to operate back-to-back. 
Therefore, each router needs to be directly connected to a frame-relay
switch.  I don't have a link to help in that configuration, but if you get a
third router, I can dig something up.

Sounds like more of an interface issue than a performance one.  One of the
developers at Cisco (or more likely some company that Cisco bought) figured
that a "sh ip route x.x.x.x" comand should not take into account a default
route, so the user is not potentially confused, thinking there is a specific
route to that address.  Then another developer added the longer-prefixes
arguement and thought that the default route should be taken into account. 
Just accept it and move on.

RE: TWO ISP AND ONE FAILURE [7:36371]

2002-02-25 Thread Chris Charlebois

Depends alot on what kind of connection you want.  If you are just talking
about outbound access from your site, that isn't a problem.  Setup the two
routers on the same subnet and use HSRP.  Best practive would be to set up
two HSRP address; each router will be primarary for one address and backup
for the other.  That way you can direct traffic over a specific connection
when it's all up, but traffic will failover to one connection if the other
goes down.

If, on the other hand, you want to maintain public services during an outage
(ie, web pages, FTP sites, incoming e-mail), that is a gorilla of a
completly different color.  If you're site is big enough, you could justify
a /19 public address, which can be routed via BGP.  That would solve alot of
you're problems, but it's unlikely that you'd be asking the question if you
had a /19.  Some protocols will allow you to specifiy a backup via DNS (I'm
thinking SMTP), but that only helps with mail.  Otherwise, you're options
are co-locateing the equipment you always want available, or switching both
your WAN connections to the same ISP.  THere is no really easy solution.

RE: Gateway/Network Address confusion [7:36400]

2002-02-25 Thread Chris Charlebois

OK, some terminology.  We've got physical networks.  They are bound by
routers.  Anytime a packet goes through a router, it is moving from one
physical network to another. Then you have a logical subnet.  This is what
actually gets addressed.  It is possible to have multiple logical subnets on
one physical network, although not recommended.  Each device can only
directly communicate with other members of the same logical subnet.  A
router would have to "translate" between the two logical subnets.

Now, in the scenario you described, you have two logical subnets on one
physical network (that's what the secondary address does).  Also, the two
logical subnets consume all your address space.

You mentioned partitioning off subnets for customers.  Does this mean each
customer gets a seperate physical network?  And do you need to provision
networks for WAN links?

Here would be one way to do it.  Take the .137.X network off the main router
(Call it R1).  Get a second router (R2) for this customer.  Setup a
point-to-point connection between the two.  Now, R1-E0 has an address of
63.142.136.1/24.  Assign R1-S0 to 63.142.137.1/30 and R2-S0 to
63.142.137.2/30.  This is the WAN connection.  Then on R2-E0, assign address
63.142.137.33/27.  The default gateway for the hosts on this network would
be 63.142.137.33 and the broadcast would be 63.142.137.63.  And on a correct
built network, the hosts (servers) never need to have route add commands.

Now if you are doing this all on one router, you just need to add a
secondary address of 63.142.137.33/27 (this would require you take off the
63.142.137.1/24 address first).  This creates a logical subnet on your
existing physical network.

I hope this made some sense to you.  If you have questions, I'll be lurking
around here somewhere.

Slight point [7:37298]

2002-03-05 Thread Chris Charlebois

VoIP does not require a Call Manager.  VoIP is just that, Voice over IP.  It
does not specify any call features and only extremely limited call
handling.  Use of a Call Manager implies IP Telephony, which is an
alternative to PBX switches.  IP Telephony includes complex call handling,
call routing, and features like forwarding, transfering, on-hold,
conferencing, etc.

VoIP (and any VoX) can be used as a point-to-point toll bypass solution,
using traditional PBX switches to provide the call routing and other
features.  However, for any kind of certification, all you typically need to
do is make a phone ring, which can be done without IP Telephony.

RE: T1 Vs ISDN PR [7:37983]

2002-03-12 Thread Chris Charlebois

T-1 is the layer 1 standard.  ISDN PRI uses T-1 for layer 1 connectivity. 
Therefore, whenever you say ISDN PRI, you are referring to T-1.  However,
not all T-1's are ISDN PRI.

The "other" T-1 is referred to as CAS, channel associated signaling and, as
far as I know, is only used for voice.  It allows 24 channels of sampled
voice.  ISDN PRI (aka common channel signaling) is a digital standard and
supports 23 64k "B" channels (that can carry voice or data) and 1 64k "D"
channel that carries control information.  Voice over ISDN PRI has the
advantage of a dedicated control channel for troubleshooting and additional
call information from the telephone provider.  However, it has 1 less channel.

So if you are ordering a data T-1, your only choice is ISDN PRI.

If it's a 2611, you're out of luck [7:39788]

2002-03-28 Thread Chris Charlebois

Vlan trunking requires a fast ethernet connection.  It cannot be trunked
with a 261X.  You'd need a 262X.

If you have to deal with a 2611, your options become much more limited.  You
could replace the 2611 with a 2620.  Or you could get a ethernet module for
the 2611.  Unfortunately, last time I checked (whish was a couple years ago,
given) those ethernet modules came in two models, 1 and 4 port, and cost
about $1000 per port.

Another option would be to replace the 2611 with a 1750.  It's got one fast
ethernet port.  If this network is as small as it sounds, it'd be a viable
option.

Oh, and about trunking, the way it works is you define the switch port
connected to the router as a trunk.  This allows multiple (in your case,
all) vlans to use the one port.  The router is configured with subinterfaces
on the fastethernet port, one for each vlan.  The router can then route
between these vlans.

I'm not sure I understand the question [7:39752]

2002-03-28 Thread Chris Charlebois

If you are asking if you can have one public IP address for two internal web
servers, the answer is no.  At least not with Cisco equipment.  That would
require a layer 4 NAT server.  Cisco NAT only operates at layer 3.  That
means the only thing that Cisco NAT will look at is IP address and port.  A
layer 4 will actually look at the header information to determine which web
server it should go to.

One workaround is to assign non-standard port numbers to additional web
servers.  One web server could use port 80, while another one could use port
8080, for instance.  This does make it a little harder to access, but it
does work.

transfers...  I don't have an immediate suggestion, but I'm pretty sure the
problem is on the voice gateway.  Somehow, the voice gateway isn't
registering the fact that the PSTN call hung up.  Also, I've never worked
with FXO so that might be an issue as well.

Unrelated question [7:39788]

2002-03-28 Thread Chris Charlebois

OK, so at least 3/4 of the response to this question say the exact same
thing.  Or at least hint at it. (It doesn't make sense to me to take the
time to answers someones question and do it with 2 words.  "vlans" while
correct is not, by itself, an answer.)  My point is the redundancy.  Do 
some people not read the upt-teen responses before jumping out with their
own?  Or do some people access these via some other transport (i.e. e-mail)
and so don't see the responses?  Or do some people just like seeing their
names on a newsgroup?  It just doesn't make sense.

RE: 802.3ab [7:40158]

2002-04-02 Thread Chris Charlebois

If alien crosstalk is an issue in any cabling, it would come up in 802.3af
before you ever saw it in 802.3ab.  48 volts will cause alot more noise than
5 volts (Is that the voltage for standard 802.3?).  I've seen bundles of 20+
cat 5 ethernet running 802.3af without seeing problems.  My guess would be
that alien crosstalk will not be an issue with Cat 5 no matter how many
cables are bundled.  Of course, this assumes the are carrying pseudo-random
data (as would be seen in a production network).  If all the cables (or a
large portion of them) were running the exact same data, a cumlutive effect
might be seen.  Like soldier marching in lock-step.

RE: Priority queueing and IMA interfaces [7:41893]

2002-04-19 Thread Chris Charlebois

Naturally, queuing on the Fa interface will only limit traffic on the Fa int
and not the IMA.  The problem is queuing only effects outgoing traffic on an
interface.  Incoming traffic doesn't get queued (at least not for any
discernable amount of time.  Now if the Fa interface were to be connected
point-to-point with another router, you could implement priority queuing
there.  You'd be limiting the traffic upstream.  But ethernet does not have
a source sqelsch or BECNs like some other protocols, so an interface cannot
control the traffic it receives.  You should probably look into traffic
shaping instead.

The native VALN in dot1q [7:41837]

2002-04-19 Thread Chris Charlebois

In 802.1Q trunking, the native vlan is not tagged.  Only non-native VLANs
are tagged.  This allows you to connect a non-trunk device into a dot1q
trunk port and still function properly on the native VLAN.  Other than that,
it does not serve a function.  Yes, it must match on both sides of a trunk,
because both switches must agree on what VLAN untagged packets belong.  I
beleive that ISL tags all packets and does not have a native VLAN.

RE: access-list performance degradation [7:42327]

2002-04-23 Thread Chris Charlebois

I don't have a definitive answer, but there are facts that come into play
that you haven't revealed.  First of all, there is no definitive answer. 
What you are looking for is a "Yeah, it'll work fine" or a "You'll run into
serious problems".  That depends alot on what you're doing with the line and
the router.
- If you are handling 90% ftp and http traffic, the cpu delay won't matter. 
If you are running VoIP or VidoIP, that delay could put you over the
recommended limit and effect quality.
- If the utilization of the line is low, the extra queuing probably won't
matter.  If you are overloaded the bandwidth, queuing becomes critical.
- If the router is just routing packets, and hence has low cpu utilization,
the extra cycles won't be missed.  If it's running BGP, NAT, and auditing,
you'll probably hit a snag.

And you also didn't specify what kind of access list it was.  Extended
access lists use alot more processor cycles than standard lists.

All this being said, I find it hard to beleive that the list cannot be
adjusted to optimize it a bit.  I assume you have taken a look at the "show
ip access-list" command to see what rules are getting hit the most.  If you
need help optimizing it, post the output for that command here and we can
help.

Re: Security advice - opening ports other than 80 [7:42333]

2002-04-23 Thread Chris Charlebois

I agree with Sam.  You can (and should) limit access as much as possible; if
server A needs TCP port 100 open, then TCP port 100 should *only* be open to
server A's ip address.  That way, the only packets that get it will be
dropped into the waiting arms of your vendors program.  And if there's a
security issue there, you will know who to talk to.

You want to make sure you know what ports can get in to what addresses, and
what applications are listening at those ports.  That will give you a list
(hopefully short) of application you need to keep updated with security
patches.

RE: Access-list Assistance Needed [7:42351]

2002-04-23 Thread Chris Charlebois

First off, you caught a typo.  That should have been 198.x.x.5, not
192.x.x.5.  Secondly, going back to your first reposte... from your original
post, it was not clear that the 198.x.x.x was being routed to you from the
ISP.  Ideally, you would have a /248 address space from the ISP, so you can
assign one to the remote router, one to the local router, one for overloaded
NAT, one for the static NAT, and still have 2 addresses let over.  I agree
the secondary address is something of a cludge.  On reflection, I suppose it
is not needed; the router *should* respond to the 198.x.x.5 address if there
is a static route from the ISP.

Oh, and overload to the interface is the same as overload to a pool of one,
which is what we want, correct?  When the interface is used (instead of a
pool), it simply uses the ip address of the specified interface.

RE: IVR for conducting phone surveys [7:42405]

2002-04-24 Thread Chris Charlebois

It definitely possible to run a phone survey with IPIVR and CallManger. 
Right now, IPIVR cannot record speech (that'll be next version, I beleive)
and converting that speech to text and storing it a database would be around
the next corner.  But for caller entered digits (ie touchtones), and
scripted survey questions, IPIVR can definitely do that.

The trick, of course, is setting it up in a flexible enough configuration so
that the local administrator can adapt it to whatever survey they want run. 
Chances are someone has already done this, but I don't know who.

I know we can do it here.  I'm a CallManager guy, and I don't know the
backend of the IVR well enough to integrate with a database, but we have
people who do.  If you want to check it out, visit www.spanlink.com

It's because you are running NAT overloaded.  It assumes that all traffic it

Oh, how rude of me.  I explained the problem without offering a solution. 
The easiest (and least likely, considering it appears to be residencial DSL)
is multiple IP addresses.  A secondary address that is not a part of the NAT
pool could be addressed from the outside.  The next easiest (I hesitate to
say next best, becuase this option is more secure) solution is to create a
static NAT map for telnet (port specific) to an internal box (anything with
telnetd will work).  Then you can telnet from there to the ethernet
interface of the router.

Since you are in a teaching mode... [7:42913]

2002-04-30 Thread Chris Charlebois

How is that different than IPX?  It seems if you are going to increase the
size of the address enough to include the MAC address, assigning a unique
(whether locally or globally) become trivial.  After all, MAC addresses are,
in thoery, globally unique.  Then the only question is routability, which
means network information picked up from the line (as in IPX) or from a
server (in IPv6 as you seem to indicate in your post).

My greatest concern about IPv6 (and this is probably due to my ignorance on
the subject) is the apperent reliance on name resolution.  I just think how
oftern in my line of work it is easiest and most expedicious to use the IP
address rather than the name.  That isn't going to be feasible when the
address is 60 odd characters long.  Am I missing something, or are the days
of 'no ip domain-lookup' soon to be a thing of the past?

The Earth, routes and washing machines [7:42913]

2002-05-01 Thread Chris Charlebois

First of all, the idea of my washing machine having a globally routable
addess is a little scary.  Someone could hack in and ruin my delicates.

Second, in terms of waste, I understand what you are talking about when you
bring up the old "640K" arguement.  I remember reading an article 10 years
ago saying that the 486 processor would never see the desktop, because it
was too powerful for anything other than servers.  However, 128 bits *is*
alot, enough that you could take all the publicly routed IPv4 addresses, and
assign all of them to each square meter of the Earth's surface.  Each square
meter (and that includes water) could be assigned a full 2^32 address
space.  Until we start talking about extraterrestrial internets, I think
that 128 bit will do.

Third, I agree that summarization is a good idea.  But how should it be
implemented?  I would think geographically.  However, from my personally
experience, that wouldn't work out the best.  I've been in a office building
in Minnesota and tracerouted a machine on another floor in the same
building.  The path went from Mpls, to Chicago, to St. Louis and back.  Any
intelligent summarization will have to be based on the telecommunication
providers rather than geography.  Then you have issues of teleco moving,
merging, failing, reconfiguring, etc.  I don't know that there is a good
permenent solution.

RE: ip route statement [7:43001]

2002-05-01 Thread Chris Charlebois

I'm not sure what you mean by "implementing migrating".  The cammand that
you mentioned is a easy efficient access-list alternative.  Essentially it
tells the router to drop all packets destined for the specified network. 
It's easier to setup than an access-list, and more efficent in terms of
processor time.

Putting that on every router would essentially kill that address space on
the network, but you could also do that by changing the IP addresses on the
interfaces.  Perhaps you could explain a little further what it is you want

RE: Phone networks [7:43498]

2002-05-07 Thread Chris Charlebois

The frame relay line from your location connect directly to a frame relay
switch, which switches frames (go figure) between connections.  In practice,
it's a lot like a huge VTP domain.  Say you have sites A and B, with a PVC
between them.  You have a dedicated connection from each site to the
provider (typically, two different CO owned or leased by the provider).  The
provider connects that link directly into a frame relay switch.  The frame
relay switch is programmed with the knowledge of what other frame relay
switch connects to the remote side, or at least what the next hop is.  This
traffic is aggregated with other customers, which is why you get things like
CIR and burst rates.

Therefore, you do not have a dedicated line (this isn't circuit-switching,
thank goodness).  But the magic all happens behind the scences, so we don't
have to worry about it.

RE: A net or B net [7:43480]

Aside from security concerns, the only advantage you get from spliting the
network with a router, *in a switched environment*, is broadcast control. 
Now broadcast control is a good thing, in some cases, but if you are just
running IP without any broadcast intensive applications, you shouldn't have
a problem running with one logical network.

Of course, if you are planning on extensive growth, or you are running other
protocols, for broadcast hogs, or you want/need security between groups, or
you just don't have anything else to do with that router, you can definitely
keep it in place, and it won't hurt anything, or at least not much.

Seems to me... [7:45664]

2002-06-04 Thread Chris Charlebois

The error says the source and destination are the same.  Since the source
and destination ip addresses are obviously different, I would guess the
complaint is that the last-hop and next-hop gateways are the same.  The IDS
is complaining because some packets are trying to hairpin in your router. 
This could be because of some malicious spoofing or it could simply be a bad
route at your ISP.  I'd inform the ISP as a heads up and see what they have
to say.

RE: Privilige Password Advice ... [7:46246]

2002-06-11 Thread Chris Charlebois

The best practice is, if you know Perl or some other scripting language (and
I don't BTW, at least not well enough) is to put together a script that will
take as input the existing enterprise-wide router password and a new
password and the script can telnet to each router, login and change the
password.  That way, you can change the password every 3 months, or month,
or when it could have been breached, or whenever you feel like it, and it
will take 10 minutes instead of 4 hours.

One important note, however.  It would be a very good idea to have that
script keep a text copy of all input and output, in case something goes
wrong...

Re: PBR [7:47463]

2002-06-27 Thread Chris Charlebois

The question is how would the router know the host is down without some sort
of heartbeat.

My next question, and this shows my shallow knowledge of PBR, but can the
next-hop be a non-local address?  For instance, can router 1 which is
connected to subnets A and B use a host on subnet C as a next-hop, despite
the fact that router 1 has to go through router 2 to get to subnet C?  If it
can, would this create a tunnel, so that traffic would get to the next-hop
address, or would Router 2 receive the packets and try to route them itself?

RE: callmanager dial plan question [7:48300]

2002-07-08 Thread Chris Charlebois

Trick is you will have to deal with the timeout problem with your current
layout.  Because all your Pleasanton extensions start with 6, and your RTP
numbers start with 6, the CCM can't tell from the first button how many
digits to expect.  It would work better if you have an escape key for
non-local internal sites, like an 8.

As for users at RTP, you can set them up so they can dial their 4 digit
extension locally.  You'll need to set up an RTP partition and an RTP
calling search space that specifies the RTP partition before everything
else.  Setup all extensions at RTP with 4 digits in the RTP partition with
the RTP css.  Also, create a translation pattern in a partition that all
sites have access to, set it to translate 685 to  and give it a css
of RTP.  You can copy this for all sites.

And Chuck is right, dial plans are not shared between clusters within the
software, so a "Grand Dial Plan Scheme" should be developed before starting
and implemented within each cluster.

h225 IE data [7:48352]

2002-07-08 Thread Chris Charlebois

We have been experiencing some toll fraud with our CallManager / Unity
system.  Thanks to CCM traces we were able to find out exactly how they were
getting in.  However, we still don't know who "they" are.  The ANI on the
incoming calls was blocked (suprise suprise).  What I'm wondering if there
is any information that we can get from the H225 data.  I know we won't be
able to get the calling number, but maybe we can pull out what city they are
calling from, or what carrier they are using, or any information at all.

It is possible that the FBI will get involved in this (the destination of
these calls are countries that the FBI has an interest in) and, if they do,
I'm sure they have ways and means to get far more information than I do. 
I'm just courious.

If anyone knows what can be learned from H225 and how, I'd appreciate it.

RE: h225 IE data [7:48352]

2002-07-09 Thread Chris Charlebois

Well, we haven't talked to Cisco about this.  Somehow, and we aren't sure
how, someone got the password to a Unity mailbox that was never assigned to
a person (for administrative use only) and should have been locked.  Once
they had this, they could simply dial into any voice mailbox, opt out to the
main menu, login as the comprimised mailbox, and then transfer themselves
out to whereever they wanted to call.

We have stopped this by A)locking and changing the entension of the
comprimised mailbox, B)forcing password changes on all mailboxes, C)
implementing the class of service feature so that Unity will not allow
tranfers to international numbers and D)creating and assigned a calling
search space to the VM route points so they cannot call out internationally
(redundant, I know, but the Unity system was comprimised).  We also changed
all admin passwords.

The troubling thing is we don't know how the password was leaked in the
first place.  There is no sign of a dictionary attack in Unity.  It is
possible that this was internal, but we don't know.  We are still looking
and if we find a smoking gun, I'll let you know.

First of all, if you feel you need routing at gigabit-speeds, you probably

The manufacturer isn't nearly as important as the performance.  That being

To access one VLAN from another, you need to use a router.  Even if both
VLANS are on the same switch, without a layer 3 device (a router), you will
not be able to access one from the other.  Also, the router needs to be
either trunked to the switch or have multiple connections to the switch (or
intergrated in the case of a layer3 switch).

RE: * Routing/Subnetting question [7:51193]

2002-08-12 Thread Chris Charlebois

The problem is you cannot assign the same IP addresses to mulitple
interfaces, especially on the same router.  From what I'm reading, you are
trying to assign a /29 (let's say 209.98.10.160/29, which allows for
addresses .161-.166) and a /30 from that same range (like 209.98.10.164/30,
which allows for .165 and .166).  You must be assuming, incorrectly, that
addressing is handled like routing, and the router will follow the most
specific address.  If the router received routes for both these networks on
two different interfaces, this works.  However, a router cannot have
directly connected interfaces that share IP addresses.  For instance, in the
above example, if allowed (which is why you are getting the "overlapping"
error), the router would have to send packets addressed to 209.98.10.165 out
both interfaces, which it can't.James Wilson wrote:

If you are looking forward to VoIP... [7:52762]

2002-09-06 Thread Chris Charlebois

If you are looking at Cisco IP phones, I would recommend replacing all the
Cat2950's with Cat3524-PWR.  It's cheaper and easier to manage the phones
when they get power from the switch, than buying and maintaining a power
brick for each phone.  This, of course, assumes enterprise-wide deployment
of IP phones.  If only a handful are getting them, the bricks may be a
viable solution.

BTW, IDF = Intermediate Distribution Frame.  As opposed to the Main
Distribution Frame.  Typically, a multi-story building will have 1 MDF,
usually in the basement, and 1 IDF on each floor.  The MDF will have
punchdowns going to each IDF, allowed easy patching between floors.

Re: VOIP and subnets [7:52688]

2002-09-06 Thread Chris Charlebois

The difference is this:  Voice over IP means just that, voice packetized to
run over IP.  This could be an IP phone, or an analog phone connected to an
FXS port on a router, or even two voice gateways that provide toll bypass
between 2 geographically seperate traditional PBX's.  THe only defining
characteristic is that, at some point, the voice is split up, put in IP
packets and transported over an IP network.

Now, IP Telephony is VoIP, but it means more than just that.  Kinda like
every square is a rectangle, but not all rectangles are squares.  IP
Telephony means that at least one end of the conversation is terminated on
an IP device, such as an IP phone.  This implies that the various features
common to modern phones are provided by the IP system, like hold, transfer,
park, call forward, etc.  VoIP does not define these services.

Hope this helps.

In a word, no.  The only way to get analog lines into a 26xx series router
(or 36xx for that matter) is with a NM-1V (or -2V) and an FXO (or FXS) VIC. 
The NM-1V alone is running between $300 and $500 on E-bay.  The FXO/S will
probably be another couple hundred at least.

But, yes, it seems that ITS will allow you to route IP phone calls to and
from analog lines with the proper hardware.  I haven't worked with ITS, much
but the description seems to indicate that.  However, I don't know if ITS
will really help you.  ITS is a nickle answer to the $64,000 question, and
it will not help in passing the CIPT exam.
