Why would you want to.  Vines has not been supported for almost 2 years. There
are few sites still using it.  We've used it for several years but will be
going to Exch and Linux systems next months.  Good Luck.

FracT to FR

2000-07-21 Thread Petra Hofmann

I have a satellite office I support.  The problem is connectivity with local
ISP over dialup.  A solution appears to be to link this office with our Peoria
office via, 56K fracT-1 through a router and pix.  In Peroia I would then
terminate in a wan card on the 2600 and route to our FR connection to Chicago.
 A number of techs have told me this is possible.  However, I have Home Office
techs telling me this won't work.  Does anyone have experience that can guide
me on this problem.

Ultimately I need to have a reliable connection that is secure sans FR
connection costs.

Re: [Re: FracT to FR]

Well, we're using FR for security reasons which is OK by me but
extraordinarily expense.  They have rejected my proposal as not being
functional / possible or better yet not something they thought of first.

I think a pix firewall to the router and thence the FR network would be more
than secure for 4 hosts!

I have an AS2509 RAS that apparently has a problem.  It seems every so often
both my RAS modems make a connection but the authentication fails.  However,
if I reboot the 2509 then all is OK for some period of time.  Are there any
thoughts as to what might be causing this?

Re: [Re: Modem question]

Some additional information is required here.

First, the maximum limit is 53K (US) imposed by the line voltage restriction
place upon telcos in the U.S.  The speed reported is for only the instant it
was measured as the connection changes dynamically over lifetime of
connection.  There can be only one A-D conversion in the line which terminates
at the telco switch with a trunk side T-1.
