Setup a FreeBSD box as a router/radius/dns/etc server, don't worry about it answering modems. If you want to support anything other than 28.8k modems (i.e. 56k modems), you'll have to have your inbound lines as DS-1/PRI lines. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-isp@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-isp@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Chris Cook Sent: Sunday, May 16, 2004 1:09 PM To: 'Evan Sayer'; freebsd-isp@freebsd.org Subject: RE: Modem Pool What you are looking for is called a HUNT GROUP or ROLLOVER line, a hunt group usually consists of multiple Channelized T1 or PRI lines that all answer at the same number, a rollover line is usually multiple individual POTS (analog) lines that "rollover" to the next if the line is busy with a call. This has nothing to do with FreeBSD, it is all dealt with by the telephone company. FreeBSD talks directly to the terminating device (modem), not the phone line. -- Chris Cook CompuDoc of Arkansas http://www.arkansasdoc.com 501-697-1712 -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-isp@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-isp@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Evan Sayer Sent: Saturday, May 15, 2004 5:20 PM To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org Subject: Modem Pool Hello- I have a question about modem pools. If I have several dial in lines, and I want them to be acessable via one number, is a modem pool what I want? How exactly do they work and is freebsd equipped to handle them?
