     I am trying to find the best way to add a remote dialin POP.  I want
to add about 10-20 dialin modems to a site about 60 miles away that can
easily access my local server.

     What I'm basically trying to do is find a way for these remote
modems to (transparently) access all of my equipment like it was local to
them.  (Of course I would like to keep it inexpensive as well...)  A real
nice solution would be for the remote site to dial a number local to
them, that would place them into my existing local modem pool hunt group.
I would think that this would require having one remote-forwarded line to
each of my local lines.  The problems I see with this is that it is messy
(I use GTE and they have a *real* problem dealing with things that are
even slightly complex sounding) and costly.

     The other thing I can think of doing is running frame-relay to the
remote POP, and setup a remote modem pool hunt group on a dedicated
terminal server, and just route across to my local server.  (I would like
to go with a T1, but it's too costly at this point...Unless there is some
justification for using it over the frame-relay.)

     If anyone that has done this (or at least the knows about doing this)
;) could let me know the best way to go about this, I would be very
grateful!
