Re: Advice on a RAS
I'd check into Computone Intelliservers. Basically a PM2. You can put cards to support 16 external serial modems at a time, and they are relatively cheap because not many use them anymore, but they are decent equipment.

Re: Advice on a RAS
Have a look at Bintec X4000 ISDN Router with Modem card / ISDN S2M card. They are cheap, well configurable and work well with Radius. http://www.bintec.net/gb/index.html Greetings Klaus - Original Message - From: "Dan Perik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, August 17, 2001 3:15 AM Subject: Advice on a RAS > > Hello, > > I've been happily using FreeRadius for a little over a month now and > it's been working great.

Any advice on which way to go with this >stuff, or better options. 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. -Chris -- \\\|||/// \ Chris Parker-Manager, Development Engineering \ ~ ~ / \ WX *is* Wireless!\ [EMAIL PROTECTED] | @ @ |\ http://www.starnetwx.net \ (847) 963-0116 oOo---(_)---oOo--\-- \ Without C we would have 'obol', 'basi', and 'pasal' - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

Advice on a RAS
Hello, I've been happily using FreeRadius for a little over a month now and it's been working great. Great job to you developers, and thank you. We're a small operation way out here, and currenly we only have 3 dial in lines. These have just been served from standard serial port connections to standard modems on a machine running RH 7.0 w/ Portslave. But now we're looking at the possibilities of expanding to 8 or 16+ dial in lines. So I'm looking for advice on a RAS/NAS for purchase to handle these dialup lines. I've briefly investigated, and found that Cisco has their 2500 line of "Access Server Routers", which looks like a standalone device for 4/8/16 "serial" lines. I've also looked at Digi's "Acceleport RAS" line, which looks would basically be 4/8 modems per card. These would get plugged into a PC, and I'd run Portslave on them, of course. Any advice on which way to go with this stuff, or better options.
