Re: Connecting Windows NT RAS [7:28570]
I agree 100% with what Michael said. I know I can terminate the T1 line on a cisco access server. But I am assuming that I want to use the Windows NT RAS service. So the quesion again is what hardware is required to enable a window nt server to accept 24 simultaneous calls? Assume that you do not want to use a Cisco Access server.

Re: Connecting Windows NT RAS [7:28570]
Brad, is it possible that John is asking about terminating an ISDN PRI line somehow so that the NT server *would* handle the incoming calls? When he says "NT 4.0 running RAS" that's what I think of first thing. I agree with you that the best way to handle it would be to use an Access Server which authenticates to the NT Box (using Radius or TACACS or the like), however, then the NT server (technically) would no longer need to run RAS services nor would it be called a RAS box (in Microsoft terms). It would just simply be an NT box used for authentication purposes. John, another good box to check out is the Cisco3600 series. With a NM-1CT1-CSU, and a network module loaded with four of the 6-modem mica modules, you can handle a T1's worth of dial-up no sweat. We have two 3640s in use for such right now (one with a single T1 PRI and one with two T1 PRIs for different parts of our organization) and we couldn't be happier with them. Although for a single T1 PRI and 24 Mica modems, (I believe) you coudl get away with using a 3620. Mike W.

Re: Connecting Windows NT RAS [7:28570]
You actually don't terminate the calls to the NT server, you need an Access Server. A T1 line can handle up to 24 calls a time. The RAS server can simply be connected to one of the LAN ports on the Access Server to authenticate the calls. Check out the Cisco AS5350. -- Brad A.

CID: Connecting Windows NT RAS [7:28570]
Hi Group, Assume that I have a T1 line that need to be connected to a Windows NT 4.0 server running RAS. The goal is to allow 24 simultaneous call to the server. What hardware do I need to provide this kind of connectivity? Do I need 24 serial ports on the server, each connected to an external modem? If the answer is yes, how do connect these 24 modems to the T1 line?
